This is a funny thread, because if we didn't have *any* real boards left, there would be arguements for ages as to how true everything was. It's like the movie Final Cut. In this movie, they can save dead people's memories on computer chips. The cutter, (the guy who puts the dead persons life into a 45 minute film). Brother of the Decesed: "I always remembered the boat from our childhood was red, but it was green. I really remember it was red." Cutter: "Perhaps it was red" It is interesting what are mind remembers, and what really happened. |

I may regret saying these things later, after reading several of the posts here, but in regard to home-brewed cabinets being real arcade cabinets or not... The cabinet I built is a REAL arcade cabinet. |

You could look at the situation in 2 ways really. A) It is a real arcade machine, because it plays real arcade game roms with real arcade buttons, joysticks, etc. or.. B) Its not a real arcade machine because it doesn't use real arcade hardware....For example, Im going to build this "dedicated" moonwalker machine...It will play the real moonwalker rom, have real moonwalker artwork, have real arcade controls...but it will be run off of a pc... If I tried selling it on ebay as a "Dedicated moonwalker cabinet" and people got it with a Pc inside, I dont think theyd be very happy.... |
