Is there a working PCB with that Super SF2 game??

Thenasty · « **Reply #2 on:** January 05, 2005, 09:20:10 pm »

$50.00 for that is a good price.

Nope, no PCB, but it will come with everything you see there plus the Jamma harness and working 25" monitor in it.

yeah, double dragon was cool when they were hammer adn spike.

when did they become jimmy adn billy lee?

SirPoonga · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2005, 01:26:39 pm »

Hoagie, read the history.dat file

They were always Jimmy and Billie Lee. The US version got a different story though.

25" monitor you way? Looks normal 19" monitor. Looks like an actual DD1 taito cab.

You aren't maming it, right? Scan in whatever graphics you can scan in and donate them to the various archive sites if they are missing anything.

Looks decent. I will warn it, it will be hard to find any replacement graphics if something happens to them. I can't find anything for my Double Dragon II cab.

You can get a working PCB for $5-$10 on ebay. I got a DD1 PCB so I could swap between DD1 and DD2 in my cab.

No, I'm going to mame the cab I have pictured at the top of the post (The Super Street Fighter II cab), that is the cab that will have the 25" monitor in it.
The Double Dragon cab I want to keep as orginal as possible and possibly do some restoration on it (sucks the graphics are hard to find).
I'd also love to add an original Spy Hunter, Demoliton Derby and Dragon's Lair cab to my collection.

HEY I think that's a DEDICATED "Double Dragon". Nice find!

SirPoonga · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2005, 01:35:49 pm »

Since I want to collect vertical shooters I might rotate the monitor on the double dragon 2 for a while.

You could play all the classic side-scrollers with that set-up (horizontal).

Black Tiger, Bionic Commando, Rolling Thunder, Final Fight, Super Dodge Ball, ...

Oh geat! Now I'm gonna end up with a mame cab and an original cab with all the Jamma boards lol. I'm gonna need a bigger place!

MilitiaMan · « **Reply #18 on:** January 06, 2005, 08:10:22 pm »

You are all correct. It is an all original Taito Double Dragon Cabinet.

And the cool thing about this cabinet is that the monitor rotates very easily so if you wanted to play a top down shooter, you could throw it in and have it playing in about 5 minutes.

You guys are all making me think I should keep it now.

Err... were originally Billy and Jimmy Lee in the ORIGINAL Japanese version.

American game companies during the 80's where renouned for "Americanising" games by removing all Eastern influence from the games, including character names and often even sprites. The worst case of this I've ever seen where the old Ranma 1/2 fighting games. When they were released in the US, all of the Ranma characters where stripped out at a sprite level, and replaced with street punks. As such, the game lost all appeal to the US market and flopped. The US conversion team blamed the Japanese game developers, and no more Ranma titles were released in the US. Meanwhile, American console players continued to import them themselves.

"Spike" and "Hammer" where invented to try and "toughen up" the characters for the US market. In fact all it does is make them sound like a couple of tools. Anywhere outside of the US you'll never see them named that.

The cab shots of Double Dragon show Taito

I thought the developer was Technos?

SirPoonga · « **Reply #24 on:** January 07, 2005, 10:59:31 pm »

The Double Dragon II cabs say Romstar (look carefully at the bezel on mame.net, guess where that came from...). Romstar is who distributed DD2.

As for DD1, from klov
LICENSOR: Technos
Manufacturer: Taito

The game was developed by Technos and then licensed to Taito for manufacture and distribution in America and Europe. Technos manufactured and distributed the game themselves in Japan.
