The only feasible way to use those with Mame is to use the original monitors, as there is almost no way you are going to get any sort of other monitors in there like that, the darn things are nearly touching each other as it is. |

yeah i'd have to use the original monitors for space reasons, if no other reason. i wish i had the thing in front of me right now, so i could see what could be done with it and what couldnt. what games do you guys know of that are 4 player capable? thanks again. CJ |

Other than the monitor these things aren't worth much of anything. The problem with them along with any other larger than normal cab is their size. Most anything that is big has a really hard time selling. A star wars cockpit is an exception of course. |

I just bought 2 of these, both working, with extra boards/chips for $400. |
| MonitorGuru:
If anyone wants to run the same signal to both monitors, get a dual head analog vga output video card. Most of them send the same signal to both monitors when in dos without special drivers. That way you dont need to deal with amplifiers or dark pictures/adjusting up the brightness. However, since these are Nintendos, you would need to deal with the negative/posive video issue (either adding an inverter board or bypassing it). I have never seen one in person, I didn't think they'd be THAT close together inside. They seem to tilt and are offset, so I would expect you could replace them with 19" computer monitors and have enough room, if that's what you wanted to do. But yes, Nintendo cocktails of any type just are not worth as much as any other brand of cocktail or any uprights. The parts are definitely worth more than the sum. Buy it, sell off the parts you don't want/use and you'll end up paying for what you keep I'm sure. |
