Virtua Fighter cab questions

Hi,

I have a virtua fighter remix cabinet. It runs on the stock / standard screen. It is a 15.7khz and runs beautifully. The screen is very nice. This cabinet is black and is a Standard ST-V Cabinet. I would go for either a 15.7 monitor like mine or get a 31 khz monitor like I have in my Sega Megalo 41". The second one runs dreamcast or pc straight out of the box without any mods. Just plug in and wire the controllers and your set. Very Very nice.

SkateDetroit: It just didn't occur to me to do a restoration job on it. Now you've mentioned it though I'll look into it.

Dave_K: I'm not paying for it, the guy is giving it for free. This obviously gives me quite a bit of flexiblity over what is done with the Cab. So far the entire project has cost
AlanS17:
Now I may be mistaken, but I believe Virtua Fighter cabinets are actually worth something. I would check to make sure you aren't damaging something worth some money. I'm not the biggest fan of the game myself, and even though it's a milestone it's no classic. However, if the thing is worth some money you may want to look into it.
SkateDetroit:
The "High" and "Low" is what was giving me the impression that the Nanaos are Medium Res. I'm beginning to believe that Sega put only dual switchables in that cabinet. Hence i've seen alot of conversions done with that cab.

The weight of the cab is some what the monitor but mostly the build. I could climb inside it with the monitor in and shut myself in with room to spare. You really could use it like a closet.  ;)

As far restoring it, on ebay depending on the day and the buyer expect anywherebetween 3-500 for a good looking and working machine. In a retail shop expect a bit more.

I thought of putting different games in mine at times just to switch things up a bit. I.E. Dead or Alive 2, Virtua Fighter 2, and etc... All Med. Res games.

Final thoughts: If it's in good condition and you have most of the pieces for the cab (Marquee, Bezel, Good artwork on CP, Good artwork on sides) check into picking up some game boards. The game boards alone are a piece of work. Sega and GE Aerospace worked together to make a 3d simulator, so they developed the hardware that is in the Virtua Fighter. Basically the building blocks for all 3d fighting games to come. The hardware was expensive to make so there are only 4 games on that particular platform. (VF, Virtua Racing, and a couple others).

So no the game isn't a classic (yet), but for someone who isn't an old timer it was a very big step in games to me. I am proud to own the machine and I plan on playing it while technology advances and arcade games are beamed directly into your head via satellite.

Here's a good site for Model 1 information.

Does anyone here know anything about the 50" projection monitor that came with the deluxe cabinets?  I have a deluxe VF2 cabinet and can't find jack for info about the monitor despite searching all over... even Mitsubishi (the Mitsu logo is on it) claims no knowledge...

I have been hoping to mame that sucker (a 50" mame cab!) but can't find anything on the monitor.  :(
