I thought it would be cool to get my own version of 720 going in my house to the point of considering a dedicated 720 from scratch. I'm to the point where I think I'm having so much fun making this stuff and I don't really know why I would ever want to own an original arcade cab anymore. (Note: I have owned original cabs in the past)
However statements like this...
"IMO, no other controller is going to be "right"
make me wonder if I should. I need more opinions on this subject if at all possible. Where are the people who are replicating these sticks? or re-buliding them? or whatever it is they are doing. I definately think the stick
can be replicated close enough to the original for
me to be happy with it. Second thought, maybe it could be made even better? I suppose the problem would be cost + small market = not enough qualified people willing to try it! I mean we are talking about one single title. I basically just need someone to come on here and tell me whether or not the stick at videogameparts.com is compatible with MAME. As soon as I hear a definitive on that...I'm sold.
or...
I might know a guy who has one original 720 cab that is in pretty dang good shape, should I just say heck with it and pursue that or what?
