Nintendo Vs (red tent): Recommendations?
(1/3) > >>
Boingo:
I am looking for a recommendation regarding my Nintendo Vs Dualsystem table (red tent).


The original harness is still in the machine, but it has been heavily modified (read as "mangled") to make it Fit a Tetris motherboard.  The original VS motherboard is long gone of course.

Do you think is worth my while to attempt restoring the harness (I have no idea what the connections are.) and finding another VS motherboard to put in it, or do you think is might be better for me to rewire the machine with a JAMMA harness on each side, allowing me to install a two player JAMMA based game on each side?

I am already planning to create reproductions of the original control panels (now gone  :'() and already have joysticks and buttons so that I will have two joysticks, and the proper number of buttons on each side.  I am currently out of work however, and so money is tight, so I guess that is one of the considerations.

Any recommendations?

Also:  Does anyone have any idea how I can replace the two missing cash boxes?

heh.....got a lot of responses on this one, eh?

I've got one too.  I think one of the monitors works but the buttons are all jacked up.  I was thinking of buying a couple LCD monitors and sticking them in there and mame-ing it.  Not like it's unmameable.   ;D

Is there anything in mame that would allow the 4 player/2 monitor setup like these cabs had?  from what I understand of the cabinet it was a game on each side (that should be easy enough to set up..even if it takes 2 computers in it...)or was it possible to play some games 4 players?  it'd be kind of cool to be able to sit the kids around this cab and have them all go at TMNT or 4player X-Men. 

I saw CompUSA had 17" LCDs for like...80 bucks today.  I'm sure I could score some cheaper..but when trying to find out what size monitors these bad larrys have, I came across this thread and thought....eh..what the hell....BUMP!!!!

Since this was bumped ... there is an interesting thread over at KLOV about repro wiring harnesses for Nintendo cabs.
