Global VR Arcade Classics, installing new pc
« on: Yesterday at 12:09:59 pm »
Hey guys. Ok so ive got a Global VR arcade classics cabinet.
manual here - https://service.globalvr.com/downloads/gac/040-0140-01_global_arcade_classics_system_manual-intel-mboard-web.pdf

The PC has finally died on me, and it's a pain to get another system with the same CPU as the OS and its components are locked to this old PC
I bought software discs for it years ago but the HDD is dead, the powersupply dead, ram faults.. it needs an all new PC basically and knowing my luck il get one but then the usblinx II board will die or something..

So i want to just have it as a mame cabinet now and il customise the theme to suit the machine.

Anyways im just looking at some options really on whats best to use the existing button hardware etc and getting a new pc in there.

It uses some good controls (happ) and has a nice happ trackball but the connections go into this USBLINX II board so nothing is plug and play with the board removed, more than likely id have to either crimp new connections on for them to wire up to the new method.

So yeah just looking for some advice really, what JPAC would I need, or, zero delays? what would you do in this situation?

Thank you
