I just got this cabinet off of ebay (I.E. IT closed 10 minutes ago).. I knew I wanted it...but...What the heck can I do to/with it?? The monitor kind of limits me...but it will sure be fun trying. Give me some Ideas..

Also let me know if you think I got a deal or ripped..Don't pull any punches.

Well, good luck with the medium resolution monitor (you might want to resell that or try to trade it for a standard res one).

I would just wire up whatever controls it already has.

Harakiri:

You could sell it to a collector and buy something simpler!
Are you gonna mametize a virtua on 2 in great state to keep...  :-X

1- The cabinet is a sit-down one, that means that you don't have a choice playing it, you have to sit down!  :-\

2- The CP is "unique", when removed, the new one it will look kinda ackward for that kinda cab!

3- The medium res. monitor will give you and huge headache to interact with a graphics card and mame games!

I think that this reasons are almost enough to "preserve" that treasure but you're the boss, go ahead good luck! :-\

I'm of the opinion that Mame probably isnt your best choice for this game. IMHO that pretty much leaves you with two options:

1) Try restore it. I.E. get original boards/chips/ect. If you want to keep it.

2) sell it to somone who wants to restor it, and get something less complexe.

That said, if you already had a mame cab, doing a restoration could be fun, depending on what original parts are included (sorry I just skimmed the description).  

I personally would have a tough time hacking up any specialty cab for mame. But thats just me.  

Magnet_Eye:

The only thing i can think of, as far as MAME, would be to use swappable control panels. Make them pretty much just like the design of the current one, but with different controls. One with steering wheel and shifter, one with star wars yoke, one with a joystick/spinner/trackball.

Otherwise, i dunno. Unless you want to make it just a Driving game MAME machine.  8)
