Ok, I know what I want to do. I am going to get a Virtua Fighter 2 cab. here are my questions: 1. This is just in general, is all the data of an arcade game stored in the motherboard?(Or you might call it chipset) 2. If 1 is true, what do I need to get to have the arcade game up and running? I've seen this: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrje0yVPlJY[/youtube] Look at the first 5 seconds. What kind of monitor do I need? How do i connect it to such monitor? 3. I need the controls for the game. Can i get them anywhere or should I just build my own? 3-2. speaking of controls, If I were to build my own, how would I configure them to the game... or is that in the guide? 3-3. Just out of curiosity, if I were to walk into some arcade, would the buttons on a Tekken 3 arcade machine be microswitch or leaf? those are the ones I like. 4. Is there anywhere I can buy the motherboard/chipset for the game? thanks. |

Patients, it's only been 30 min since your last post. Get the game manual. Hopefully it tells you what pin outs to use for the controls and monitor. This game uses a Med Res monitor which are not cheap. You can't use a Standard Res Monitor on the game. If you have no electronics experience I suggest checking out Randy Fromm's website. For the PCB, I would just keep checking on Ebay. Don't buy a board that says it has not been tested. |
