Pages: << < (5/13) > >>

shodokan123:

it HAS to have japanese buttons/sticks

which will cost roughly 70$...

i'm not a complete noob to where i have to rely on ---smurfy--- AS HELL x-arcades... not to mention with fighters you bang elbows...

i already have 3s for ps2 and a ps2, and an x-box and it for x-box...

So the rout i will have to go is this...

590 for cab
buy wood for the CP & plexi about 50$
70$ for sticks & buttons
100$ for coindoor
100$ for TV
10$ for marquee
15$ for backlight and such
10$ for thing to put the TV on

Total of

over 900$ :-P


I COULD do the jamma option but i have no f'n clue how to do any of that... and wiring up fingerboards and kick harnesses is not somthing i REALLY have time to do... unless i can get someone to wire them up so i just have to put quick disconnects and grounds etc... I don't have a soldering iron anymore nor do i want to get another... i burnt my self once and i'm not really looking forward to that happening again lol

Slightly OT, but you probably know... are the Xbox and PS2 versions of 3rd strike true to the arcade? And between xbox and ps2 is one superior to the other?

whatzcrackn:

this dude "shodokan123" is too funny. he wants a Bently for the price of a Pacer.  Yikes.............good luck.  try www.craigslist.com.  They where given free cabs away in different areas, no sure where you are.

$590 for a cab?  $900 total?  You can buy a JAMMA cab with proper arcade monitor (a million times clearer than a TV) for less, and wire in your own buttons and sticks.  If I was looking for that true arcade experience, I wouldn't be settling for a TV.

And if you're looking at a bigger screen and better quality cab, check out anyone who sells candy cabs like the Astro City, Super Neo 29 / LS-Sound 29, Atomis, etc.  Most of them come with Japanese sticks already, and the screens are great. 

TV just isn't an option for me, but it depends on exactly how picky you are when you demand "arcade perfection".

The PS2 port seems to get the thumbs up as the best one over on Shoryuken.com.  I guess those kids would know better than most.  I currently only have the DC version, but I'll be grabbing a Japanese PS2 version as soon as I get my PS2 modded for import play.

Thanks for the info, very helpful... One more if you don't mind then :)... is there an appreciable difference between the import version and the US PS2 version? Besides the language/text, of course.
