« on: July 30, 2004, 02:42:05 am »
My latest mod, runs off a PC power supply and the pre 1985 stock Nintendo cab speakers with the 2 additional THUMP! (very ---smurfy--- speakers) Makes for a WICKED Jukebox!

ohh and I got the pioneer deck 2 4.5" pioneer speakers and 2 6" x 9"'s pioneer for $150 CAN so I had an extra deck laying around (the good speakers are in my car!) Anyways check it...

Thats a neat idea...
I might consider mounting one just below the marquee if i ever do a scratch built cab.

Seem your...belt buckle, might change the station.

Neat idea.  I wonder what other 12V car accessories you can throw in there?  Maybe a cigarette lighter for the smokers?  A radar detector so you dont get pulled over in the car games? ;D ::)  Light up vanity mirrors?
Rock on!

I am going to do doing the same thing, but do you run the sound from mame to the same speakers?

I also have two 12" subs and an old amp that I may throw in my cab, but I am still working out all the details.

I have a seperate Power Supply in there I paid $10 for at a computer shop, I also installed 2 120volt switches right above the deck so you can run the 2 fronts on mame while the rears are on deck, or if you flick em you can run all 4 on the deck to get some mad sound!

I could install 2 more so I could individually switch each speaker between MAME and the Deck, but the 2 fronts are fine for MAME...

I'm thinking it might be cool to put a black light behind the plexiglass because as you can see this was a super punch out machine meant for 2 19" monitors so the top slot has a big empty spot (I took the monitor out)

Anyone have any cool ideas for the top monitor?? Been thinking of SOMTHING I could put up there that would be cool, thinking somthing dual display type...

Only thing is PC power supplys don't really output enough wattage to run tons of appliances, it'll barley run my deck if you crank it you can see the LCD screen on the deck fade out on each bass pulse haha....

CURB FEELERS....gotta have some chrome curb feelers if you want your cab to be fully pimped.

Seriously though, I bet you get some good use out of that deck now.  Very creative use for it.

oh man, vertical pushbuttons are crappy!!  I know cause I built my first joystick with them, no good.  Anyways, cool lookin cabinet, that cd player is pretty nice.  Hey would you mind taking some pictures of how you're getting from PC out to speakers?  Just out of curiousity, I could think of a few ways to do it but I'd like to see how you pulled it off.

I have 2 3 way switches (6 poles) the 2 center poles connect a speaker (+ and -) the 2 left poles connect to the + and - from the left sound card speaker and the right + and - poles connect to the decks left speaker + and -... and the same switch for the right speaker connections... sounds complicated it isnt, just strip a headphone jack comming out of your line out from your sound card and it'll have 4 wires... buy a couple switches there expensive $9.00 a piece here... i'll take some pics when I have my cam back...

I like the deck idea better beacuse a deck is amplified where as a PC sound card aint, so unless you have a 5.1 surround PC system running on a seperate power supply you won't get 4 speakers very loud off a sound card..

Too bad it's not still a Super Punch Out- cool game.
Since it's not, though, why not throw a flat panel monitor in the empty spot and run Winamp/your jukebox software of choice on it?

Ya a lot of people said "WHY ARE YOU MAMING SUPER PUNCH OUT!! ITS A CLASSIC!" haha not to me, and I dont have $400 to shell out for a flat screen monitor haha far beyone my budget I can still barley afford an ArcadeVGA which I dont even have yet haha so the vertical scrolling on mame is ---smurfy--- and I cant even run it! I cant only run emulators like zsnes, nesticle etc..

I hate to sound mean but what is neat about putting a Car Radio into a Arcade machine? I don't think I've ever been to a arcade and seen one it doesn't belong there.

If you want a radio why not mount it behind the coin door.

Agreed... besides that, some common sense to be applied.  There is a cdplayer in many cabinets, it's called a CDROM. :P

Also there are radio cards you can get for the pc.  Most are bundled with tv-tuners but there are some old-school parallel port ones you could get for practically nothing if you were to look around on ebay.  


This isn't a new idea either... it's been done several times before.  Unfortunately, this kind of proves that we don't learn from our mistakes around here.  

Oh and chrisinauz,

So basically what you are telling us is you can't afford to fix your cabinet so you mamed a classic and yet you even admit it still sucks?  I don't see the logic behind that.  It's like if someone found a Picasso in their basement and painted over top of it because they couldn't afford a new canvas and yet they are a mere amateur at painting.  

That doesn't make sense and it's quite unintellegent imho.  From the sounds of things the cab worked when you got it.  didn't it ever occur to you to sell the cabinet you someone that would enjoy it whole and use the money to buy a more "mameable" generic cab?

If your happy that's great, but I always find it offensive that just because someone lacks respect for older cabinets that they feel it's ok to do whatever they want with them.  Of course you have the legal right, but ask yourself this...  Do you have the moral right to trash a cab you know someone out there could have paid handsomely for with the invalid justification of "I couldn't afford anything else"?

Also respectfully, could you watch your use of language?  It doesn't offend me at all, but this is considered a "family" board and some parents let their children browse here.  If enough bad words are found on the site m$ safe search thingy deems a site "adult" and blocks it from the kiddies.  


I'm not trying to disrespect you, merely stating my opinion.

Well I see some people have some biast opinions haha, who said I trashed the cabinet? And who said it wasnt mameable, it works perfect besides the fact that im not even running an ArcadeVGA card.

And im sorry if it offends some of you that I "destroyed" in your minds a "Classic" but some people have some diffrent meanings of the word "Classic" In my mind it wasnt a classic and never will be! Now if it was a Bubble Bobble machine THEN we'd have a whole nother story....

And for a "Authentic" MAME machine, there is no such thing, how many arcade machine have you seen that have 5012 games on em? Thats not AUTHENTIC... most people dont build MAME machine to go for authenticity, they build them for fun and for that classic arcade game feel....

And as for the CD Player, I explained the reason because a Soundcard does not output squat worth of power, so you get very horrible sound unless you buy a 5.1 amplified system... I particullarly like it but apparantly everyone has there diffrences! I had fun with this project and will continue to, so rock on mamers...

Your missing the point... if it's a classic to ANYONE then you should be respectful to their feelings and not mame it.  And since every game is a classic to someone, the moral of the story is:  If a cabinet is in good shape, and retains most of it's artwork and is in working order you shouldn't mame it, period.  For the record bubble bobble didn't even have a cabinet, it was sold in kit form exclusively and generally put in a generic dynamo cabinet, which is literally the most popular cabinet of all time.  There are thousands of dynamos flaoting around and mere hundreds of surviving playchoice cabs.  So only for the record, you would have been much better off maming a bubble bobble than a nintendo cab.  

Oh and your cd idea still doesn't make any sense.  You chould have simply bought a cheap car amp and hooked it directly to your line out on the pc.  The exact same effect would have resulted, minus the cd player.  To each his own, it just seems really akward and out of place imho from the pics.  

And you claim that most people don't build a mame machine for authenticity.  You are right, but they actually build a machine from scratch, so no harm is done.  You hacked up a cab, there is a big difference.  None of your points regarding that paragraph are valid anyway.  The cabinet is a piece of artwork in of itself and thus it should remain as untouched as possible.  The game running inside it is actually the worthless part as it can be easily replaced via mame, or other emulators.  Once a model cabinet is gone, there is no easy way to bring it back.  


The moral of this story everyone is you shouldn't mame any cabinet if it can be returned to it's near factory condition.  (Mame in this case refers to physical hacks like cutting holes and painting over sideart, ect)  Of course if it can't then the cabinet is in pretty bad shape to begin with and thus your probably gonna have a hard time making anything nice with it anyway.  The solution?  Make your cabinets from scratch.  


I'm sorry to single you out as an example chris, but I haven't seen a hack job in ages as at this point most people scratch build if they want to do anything crazy.  In short, I thought the community had learned it's lesson.

Why not add a microwave oven to your cab too, it would look as out of place as the car radio does.

The point I'm making is arcade machines do not have car radio's installed in them, it just looks so out of place. Many people have done great jobs restoring old cabs and still run Mame on them and you could have done the same and made something really great to look at.

chrisinauz,  personally I like the car deck idea.  It is a good use of stuff you already had.  As for the cabinet, you bought it so it is up to you what you do with it.  Overall I think the cabinet looks great.  I would have used some sort of speaker cover for the side speakers though...  ;)

Nice thing about it is you can play some ambient music while you game...  Although I might have put it in a different place and done something different with the speakers I think it kind of a cool idea.

Ah em, 5 inch LCD monitors were not supposed to placed into arcade cabinets to display controls and whatnot, but yet we still struggle to implement them.  ;)

I really don't see a problem with the car faceplate radio. The bottom line is people have different views on what is cool for "their" arcade. I for instance have many "MODS" (speaker lighting, rope lighting, lighted credit buttons, GBA display controls, 15 inch Sub, Amps, etc.) and the thing gets amazing words from guests and family.

Hahah thanks for sticking up for me guys! I could of mounted it in another spot but hey, and yes the easy interface for CD's is a bonus for everyone.. plus since its on another power supply you dont need to be running the whole PC to have a decent system! And as for the speaker grilles im working on it haha they were so cheap they didnt come with em! I really need em to the yellow speakers in a black cabinet just doesnt do it for me either!

On a good note my ArcadeVGA card is on the way so i'll finally have a "MAME" cabinet and not just an "Emulator" Cabinet!

Well rock on everyone! I'd be interested to see some other unique case mods, maybe start a new forum on it if theres intrest...

But then again we dont want to offend the collectors by "destroying" "works of art" in some peoples minds! Well rock on people! This forum is awsome! If anyone has any 4.5" Speaker grilles lemme know! haha

That maybe so but it looks good, a car radio mounted on a cab doesn't. As I've said before it doesn't belong there.

Also he can do what he wants with the cab its his but if he posts it here then people are going to say if they like it or not.

I like the CD player idea, I just think that it should of been mounted somewhere else.  As for the cabinet I find it a shame that you mamed a classic like that but it is your cab and you can do what you want to it. just my $.02

im not so keen on the stereo but i like the speaker grille slots. how did you cut them out?

just had a relook at your cab so i can now answer my own question! the cab is an original you mamed. the aluminium serial plate was a dead give away. dunno why i didnt notice earlier...

Now that everyone's stated what THEY THINK is wrong with this...

Here's a pic from my cockpit overhead.

Pioneer DEQ-7600. Amp was Blaupunkt. Speakers were 200 watt 6x9 4 way.

OK I don't like the radio thing but in your cab the way you mounted it, it looks good. Also being a sitdown cab it doesn't stand out like the other one in the upright cab.
