It also has the dreaded "angled" joysticks.  If I were converting a Mercs, I'd re-mount them so they're straight.

Isn't there an RGB cable available for Xbox that would let one work with an arcade monitor?  You'd have to rotate it to horizontal, of course.

Yeah I have an RGB cable for an xbox, but how would I be able to hook it to the monitor, I honestly haven't really looked at the back of it, surely there isn't rgb plugs into is there, or would I have to do some soldering, cause I can do that?  And what do you mean my angled joysticks, there straight on mine I think, unless ur talking about the hinge thing?

If you look inside the control panel, you'll see that the center joystick is mounted straight, but the other ones are mounted at an angle.  So in order to move up, you have to push the handle diagonally.  It messes me up when I try to play on a stick mounted that way.

To use with the Xbox that's going in the cab of course!  :laugh2:

DUH!!!  And because I have no clue how to make an xbox work on that monitor.  ANd the monitor works perfect.  And Like I said it was $50 for the entire machine working and all.

I am pretty sure he means "Why are you gutting a perfectly good working dedicated cab when there's a plethora of other cabs that you can just stick a tv and xbox in?"

You know, in the spirit whole preservation thing. Saint has the Arcade Cabinet Manifesto front and center on the main page.

Hawk Daddy:

Well after reading that I do agree, That a perfectly working cabinet isn't something that I should destroy to put an xbox running mame in.  So I guess I'm a try to find a game that is non working.
