I was just at my local BJ store and saw this
http://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Game-Room-Classics-VERSION/dp/B000AACDM8/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5/002-0659085-6619263

mini/bartop versions and they have it for $199.00 until Dec.24 only. Regular is $299.00

I was really thinking about it, cost wise.

Here is my rugg guestimate on this:
Cabinet $75.00 to get made
14" Monitor $50.00
Joys/Buttons $25.00
PC/Whatever System is in it (Can't be $50.00 dollars) its got to be more.

So just those already adds up to $200.00


What do you guys think.
I was thinkin g of buying it and put MAME in it. Using the Monitor and if I could use the SYSTEM in it that would be great.

Multicade is (borderline) legal.  The board is merely capable of having ROM images put onto it... where you get the ROM images is the tricky part of the equation.

The one linked to is illegal.  Donkey Kong is not available.  Nowhere, nohow.  Nintendo is 1000% against any emulation of it's IP by others.  Nintendo has done some of their own stuff, but it will never be mixed with the IP of other companies (from what I've been told).

The SNK thing was available at target as well.  It's right in line with that full size cabinet.  Anyone on this board would be lucky to salvage the cabinet much less anything from the inside.  Retroblast did a review of these things.  Page 2 shows they don't even use glue!

Who the hell would buy that when they could get a class of 81 reunion for the same price.

I have yet to see any arcade related stuff at the BJ's here.  Anyhow you can see a review on that bartop at retroblast.com..

it uses a SD card in a jamma PCB to store the roms,  no idea if changable.
