MvC2 machine
Cameronj:
I would say that you ought to just buy a JAMMA cabinet and a real JAMMA board. Then customize the machine to your liking. That is about the only way to make it legal.
There are commercial versions of arcade legends out there too that would be 100% legal. You could do your own art package on top.
Capcom would have a problem with using the artwork in a commercial setting .
Axe:
I have to agree with Cam here, the only really "legal" option is to get a jamma board and build a cabinet with a Jamma harness.
As for the rate you mention, a musician (even second rate) is an "active" entertainer, adaptable and able to (theoretically) entertain a large groupa t once.
A game that would have kids fighting over who was next, and complaining that thye have more modern games at home??? that seems a little steep.
Just me,
YMMV
Oni2382:
If this guys is a very good friend of yours, just build the cab, and get the Dreamcast version of MvC2 and sell it to him for a flat price. Don't worry about trying to charge people to play it, everyone in the end will get more enjoyment out of it.
But if you must charge then I suggest you find a cheaper game than MvC2. It's RIDICULOUSLY priced and very expensive to find all the parts you need (Naomi board, I/O converter, PCB, PSU etc.) Shoot for either Captain America and the Avengers, the simpsons or the original X men side scroller. You can charge to play and still have comic book characters which is the theme your going for and ultimately the customers in his establishment will get more enjoyment out of the 4p games instead.
jeffhlewis:
Just an aside, but do kids even understand what an arcade game is anymore? Would they play it? I mean MvC2 is fun and all but it doesn't change that fact that it's almost a 10 year old game. You might as well put an X360 in the cab with Call of Duty or something.

I doubt this would work at all. It's not just about the comic theme here.... Most of the people that would shell out coin after coin to play Marvel vs Capcom 2 would never even touch Captain America and the Avengers...
