A buddy of mine sent me this link that hints for MK9 on the PC.     Would LOVE to see this running on my arcade cabinet.  How about you guys?

I wanted to be able to play this in the cab. So to make sure I could, I got 2 ps360+, 27" lcd and another xbox 360

I was disappointed with MK9, and I had the kollectors edition and the season pass.

I'm a huge fan, and although it wasn't the best MK it was better than everything after ultimate 3. I also enjoyed Shaolin Monks quite a lot.

well saying its the best thing since UMK3 isnt saying much   Shaolin Monks was awesome tough, was really hoping to get a sequel to that but then we hit the crummy UMK3 storyline and the story gets even worse after that. :/

Being a Retro fan, I don't have any of the new XBox 360 or PS3 consoles. That said, I will be looking forward to playing this on real arcade controls.

Well... It's been confirmed!  It will be released on 7/3 via digital download in Steam.

I'm very excited about this.  It will be the "Komplete Edition" with all DLC unlocked.  Midway... show Capcom how it's done!

I'm still amazed at all you guys hanging onto Windows XP.  Let it go......

I finally DID get Windows 7 64 running on my arcade machine.  But it was a ---smurfette---!  After several attempts I was able to get my Betson arcade monitor to behave.  It took me all weekend.  Now SF x Tekken should run good too.  (Doesn't run on XP 64-bit, runs fine on 32-bit).  So this was a BIG incentive for me to upgrade my OS.  Even though it's a major pain as outlined below.

I think the majority of the people don't mind the idea of running a newer OS such as Windows 7.  The thing is, it's a PAIN in the butt to re-do everything and have it work properly on the new OS.
You need to:
-  Format and install the OS your hard drive
-  Install the drivers (hopefully there are Windows 7 ones for your Motherboard and hardware)
-  Most importantly, you need to re-configure your front end, MAME, emulators, etc.
-  You need to hide the OS so that it looks authentic <---time consuming!
-  Then you can install the new game.

Some people would rather just have it "work" on their existing system that they put blood, sweat and tears into configuring.  Which one do you think is easier?

Think of it as... You are running Windows 7 and all of a sudden a great game comes out and it requires Windows 8.  Are you going to upgrade your system JUST for that game?

We don't all have the time and patience to re-do everything.  Just sayin'

This is what I've been doing for a LONG time now (Since Win95 maybe?)

Step 1 - Partition your drive into two drives (or just buy two physical drives)  (60Gb - 120GB is enough, depending on how big your overall drive is)
Step 2 - Install your OS on the first partition (C:\)  (WinXP, Win7, Win8, Server OSs, whatever...)
Step 3 - Install your games on your secondary partition (D:\)   (make all your configs relative to D:\)
Step 4 - Configure your games one time and be done with it. 

OS piles in?  No worries, just format and re install that primary partition - all your data will still be on your D:\ drive.  Upgrades?  Same thing.  Want to transfer your entire front end / emulator setup to a secondary computer (media PC, another cabinet, whatever), setup that computer with a secondary drive and start copying.  Instant setup.

Break the bad habit of installing applications on your primary drive / primary partition. 

PS - On your WinXP 64 Bit comment - that OS never got SP3 from Microsoft - its basically a broken / orphaned OS.  SP3 is essential for a lot of things to even run on WinXP 32 bit.  The fact that x64 did get it is reason enough to stay away from it.  At the time, there just wasnt a demand for a 64bit OS - so MS seemed to be focusing on Vista instead.

PPS - And yes, I would update my OS to play a single game.  Just like console games will buy a new console just to play a single game.

Invest in a thumb drive on external hard drive. Done. No need to reconfigure everything. Then all you have to worry about is spending an hour to reinstall another OS and trying to hide it. I have windows 8 nearly completely hidden. It is very easy to do. The app frontendhelper I've been working on takes care of the cursor too. I started to write a guide on the hyperspin forum, but got shut down by a few people saying that my tutorial is incorrect and doesn't work, so I stopped going on that forum.

With electronics, if your not up to date, very quickly you will be out of date. As a developer (I am an aspiring web dev), you can only support so far back before it becomes time consuming or you can't do what you want to do. I can't say it enough, but XP is 11 years old and microsoft is dropping support for it soon. I'm not a windows software developer, but I wouldn't expect software developers to devote their time to getting their software working on an 11 year old OS. Funny how you will almost never find a mac user using an older OS version unless their hardware is no longer compatible with the latest. Linux users that I know tend to always be up to date as well.

Most of my arcade PC games require a reinstall.  Regardless of what hard drive it's installed on.  The .dll files and registry setting usually go away with the C drive and OS.

Trust me, I'm not a stranger to updating my OS.  Even with a partitioned drive... It's still a pain.  Not as much of a pain, but still a pain. Plus each new OS has it's new quirks.  But I'm going to bite the bullet (again) and upgrade.

Oh, I was talking about mame and emulators. I didn't realize that we were talking about a lot of pc games. You are correct about that. Winblows installing files everywhere is one of the main reasons I can't stand windows. Linux does the same thing. I like the mac "one app is one container" idea. Apple just needs a preference file manager and they will have nailed it. But it's easy enough to find those files on a mac and back them up.

This is not Microsoft's fault.  This is the application developer's fault.   

And yes, Mac is very "clean".  Not clean enough to justify the $1000 markup over same-spec PCs though.
