I set up a CP for a friends little brother to use on his pc in his dorm a few years ago (@ UNL)... he just kept a bank next to the CP .... "free will offering" quarter a game suggested "donation". I agree with Pointdablame... You WILL DRAW ATTENTION (mostly unwanted)with a cab in a room that you are charging to play on.... Back to lurking.... --- End quote --- I think it is out by emerald (not sure if i spelled that right...) but the it is kinda odd...the owner was involved with some kind of drug bust and is running from the law right now and his friend is fixing all of the arcades and selling everything... and i think i'll have a free credit button on it with the words "cheap ---daisies---! I have to eat to ya know!" ;D but the vendor has all kinds of stuff...craploads of monitor chassis...some cocktail cabs...a VERY gutted out tron cab with half of one of the joysticks... :(...the place was pretty sad...if you go to check it ouy i wouldn't recomend wearing flip flops or sandals...the only words for it are...complete and total craphole...it was naaasty :P i realy wish i had the money to go back and but bunches of stuff...but i'm just 14 (soon 15..) and don't have money or a job... oh...and the buy at the vendor is a bit of a nut...i asked him if he had any working monitors and he said that anything he gets working goes into a n arcade...then he asked if i needed any repaired and i said no, but i am deathly afraid of them...to which he replied "it won't kill ya, it'll just bite you, its low current" :D hahahahaha back on topic... i think i might design my own...or if there are more plans available... 8) |

STAY AWAY... can't tell you how many times that place has been raided by the State Patrol and LCSD. Why not build a table top like: http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=21895 you could fit it with a single coin slot on the side and hide a free play button on the back. |

Just for the record, I wasn't scolding anybody. I simply said that it wasn't a good idea. Spystyle - He said he was building a MAME machine, not a dedicated machine. Dedicated machines are a totally different story, and I wouldn't have said anything about charging in that case. But he said MAME machine, which makes it illegal. Also, even if he had Namco classics or the like, that is a personal liscense to play those games. You CANNOT buy Namco classics at CompUSA, put it in your MAME machine, and charge people to play it. That is also totally illegal. I hope NerdOfNerds didn't take my post as a flame. I'm simply saying that putting a MAME machine in a college that could potentially have 10-20 thousand people on the campus and charging people for it will get the word out QUICK. And someone on campus, faculty, security, or otherwise may be tipped off that it's illegal, which it is. And that could lead to a lot of trouble for Nerd's sister, her school, and MAME itself. Do yourself a favor Nerd... build your sister a cab, its a great idea. Just tell her to put a donation can on the other side of the room or charge people for drinks or something. It's not worth the potential trouble. Plus as a college student myself, I can tell you that we're all broke... she wouldn't make a ton of money anyway. Just avoid the trouble |
