I have a real arcade. Ms Pac-man. I have had it for years. I have had many real cabs.
My Nintendo VS was the first cab that hurt my back. I had over a grand invested in modding this cab and gave it away. I could no longer move it.
Now I own 5 1UP cabs.
Yes I think there junky. But are perfect for modding . I see them as cabarets.
I just purchased a Ms PAC complete art set. $150.00. I am adding dell monitor's .
Replacing buttons with quality buttons and quality joystick bought from venders here.
I am using HP I5 computers and MAME.
My street fighter cab was done with ETA Prime set up. Zero delay. This got me back into modding
The Ms PAC will have a pie 3 with game pad hacks ( just for the fun of it)
1UP as a company really suck ass.
All 5 of my cabs were on sale for $200.00
I think the cabs are with that simply for the fun of redoing them and still light enough for me to move with out weeks of pain afterwards.
i agree. i only have 1 that i bought for modding, and thats its.
i would never buy another one stock. there aren't any more titles that interest me.
i thought about getting the 12-1 to mod, but instead am getting a cocktail cabinet kit
from one of the vendors on here, but it's been 2 months without a reply, so i keep up
with the arcade 1up news.
i'm interested in the replacement parts, because they tend to be cheaper than getting
the real things, and they will work with USB controls, for the pc i will be using for
emulation.
USB spinners like this magnet one might not be comparable to the real optical ones,
but for most people they will never notice the difference. i have 2 real spinners in
my blasteroids cabinet, so i know how those feel, compared to the cheap USB spinner
i use now for emulation.
so yeah, i am interested in updates to the controls, and i'm sure anyone else modding
them is also.
later
