Guy's I have a bit of a dilemma. :dunno I can get a Soul Edge cabinet locally. It does have damage to the control board, the wood stuff is swelled and not in good shape at all. So, it's not mint. I have no particular affection for the game, never heard of it or played it. I think it is a conversion cabinet. It has a 25 inch monitor. This is an ebay link to one just like it: link I know it's a working game, but I don't consider it a classic by any means. It looks REALLY generic. So, do you think it would be ethical to use it to make a mame machine? I understand in the end it will be my choice, but I would like some member insight. |

That looks like a Tekken Tag cabinet. http://klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10063 You may get some crap since it's a working game but I would mame it and reuse what you can. |

I don't have an opinion. While I don't like the idea of "MAMEing" rare cabs, I really don't mind someone doing it to a more recent cabinet (87 up), and even with regards to the older cabs, the most MAMEing it would illicit from me would be a "meh". But if it's not even in proper working order, I'd say go for it for sure. |

By the time you get it home and play it a couple times chances are you're not gonna want to convert it anyway. I'd just leave the jamma board in there and get a J-pac. That way you can switch it back and forth from the computer to the jamma and not feel guilty. |

edible, Not that I want it part of the original poll, but I do plan on JPAC'ing it... Also, I didn't ask this to cause a huge debate or similar flame war or anything, just wanted a bit of input. A side note: I make sohc honda cb750 choppers for my other hobby. Some motorcycle purists cringe, but I don't really care in that case. I take a 30 plus year old POS and make it into a one bad mutha (IMO). I sell the parts that are junk to me but needed for other collectors to get their projects completed (example a stock seat or gauge cluster). There were literally hundreds of thousands of these made in their ~10 year life span. Here are my chopper pics: pics and here is an original: here granted, the bikes I used were crappy, as in setting outside for years, locked up engines, etc., but there are still purist who cringe at the fact one of the "beloved" cb750 engines are in a chopper. I would not cut up a pristine example of one, I would sell it and buy several junkers to use, so I can see both sides of these kind of debates. |
