Correct - much less hassle. I would love to cut that big corner, but the problem is it's very hard (for me at least) to find a MvC2 arcade board and would be much easier to buy MvC2 for DC for maybe $20 and building a custom PC and run the game on an emulator. Yeah, the pricing may be more for the PC, it may be less, but that's the only option I've really come across =/
Malenko:
buy a dreamcast buy the game, wire the controls to dream cast controllers (or have haruman do it) and thats it, the game would act like its on free play; no coin slots needed.
if you want to build a cab for the purpose of making money on coin drops, the only legal option you have is to buy the arcade board set

So, this is the arcade version of the game? And if I make a machine with this in it, I don't need to obtain a license from Capcom? Or would I still need to get it licensed or certified or something? What about concept art no the machine itself? Does the art need to be identical to the actual art or would it matter if I use imagery from my own sources?
Malenko:
that stuff is what goes in a regular arcade cab; owning the actual (READ: NOT BOOTLEG) boards/games is licensed for profit by capcom.
The art, I dont know; I think putting game related art on the cab would be fine and capcom is more worried about copyright in fringement of their games then someone decorating a cab differently then normal.
just to be clear,those links are to the guts of an old MvC2 arcade cab, and would be perfectly legal to put into an arcade cabinet for the purpose of making money.

So then, those two things are all I would need as far as the game would go? Would I need any special cables to hook those up into a TV and Controller?
I also was thinking about how the Dreamcast version doesn't have an Arcade feature, making the coin function invalid. Well, we could rent the machine out to birthday parties or some kind of event along the lines. To get a second rate guitarist to play for an hour at a birthday party is $400 in my area. An arcade machine for a bunch of screaming 8 year old boys should definitely be close to that I would think.
As far as the art goes, I think my friend would want to draw the concept art and use that to somewhat of an advertisement. He's starting this project with a writer and they are creating a Transformers comic. He's definitely at a professional drawing level, and it may be good to put his own art to make it more public and stuffz. As long as Capcom wouldn't have a problem with him creating art with their characters, that's probably what will happen.
