--- Quote from: MikeDeuce on January 26, 2006, 09:40:03 pm ---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. --- End quote --- With the disclaimer that I haven't played them myself, as far as I'm aware they are identical (except for the text and the player names, as you mentioned). Both are NTSC, so they both run at 60Hz out of the box. I have no idea if the PAL versions have a 50/60Hz selection, but that doesn't worry me, as I'll be grabbing an NTSC version from import for myself anyway (most likely a US one, for the language/text as I don't speak/read Japanese). Shoreyuken would be a better place to ask. Those guys know the games inside out, and would be able to tell you which port is the most accurate right down to the timing microsecond. Heck, they even have their preferred revisions of which CPS3 board to buy based on game glitches and timing differences! Animals! :) |

Version A is the CPS3 board u would want. Astro cities and such are like 600$ + shipping wiring my own controls isnt a problem i will just hook up some ps2 controls. If someone could get out to me a plug and play way to get my DC and ps2 working on an arcade monitor i would do it that way. |

Buy a cabinet with a working arcade monitor and for the price of a tv. You can buy the arcade VGA and a barebones computer to run it on. Then grab an ipac... or a j-pac.... and you will have a mame machine. |

Maybe I missed a post, but why don't you build your own cabinet? If you have basic woodworking skills (and I mean basic), you can take one of the popular designs (Lucid's is popular), and modify it yourself to whatever size you need to fit into your living space. You might also want to look into a BarTop system (hate them myself, but they are good for small spaces). You might also look into building just a control panel , hook to your PC, and play on your regular TV. IMHO building the cabinet yourself, is cheaper, and you can guarantee that you can fit it in your door. I built my own cabinet (Lucid design), and for the wood, hardware, and paint, you would probably spend maybe $150 (cabinet only). Good luck, be sure to post pics when you get it done...can't wait to see it! Also, nice to see someone from your generation doing this....I'm 35, and my teenager thinks I tinker around too much with the "dinosaur games", and should play more consoles....funny how he has no problem spending hours on an upright cabinet I just built, then basically calls me "old". ??? |

Spend $900 on a candy cab with your game in it. They can almost completely disassemble. Put it in your house. Reassemble. Done. |
