MAME MK3/MK2 style PC/X360 cabinet
MK3FAN:
I got the New lexan cpos done for him. The MK4 one is off my cab because I screwed up the one I was making for him and was out of replacement lexan, so I am giving him my overlay until I can make myself a new one. It's still in great shape. I made it less than a year ago. They both should work out great for him.

well, I am hacking it up, I already covered up the original MK4 left side with MK3 and I'm pretty sure if I remove the MK3 it will tear up the mk4 art. The right side is still MK4 at this point but I'll probably cover it with MK2 eventually. I ripped out all the arcade parts, but it could be converted back to MK arcade with little trouble. I'm preserving the MK4 control panel. If I could go back I'd probably look around for something else to hack up, but MK4, 3, or 2 was ideal because I wanted the control panel and always liked the midway cabinet style. (if it was MK3 or MK2 i wouldn't do anything to the side art but I pretty much hate MK4's side art) Anyway I'm stuck with this cab now since I've done so much work already, so I'm making it my own. I'm bringing a MK2 control panel back from the dead, so that should count for something.

I dont see how hes hacking it up, it could easily be reverted back to an MK4.
Believe me, it pains me to see MKs getting MAMEd but nothing hurts as much as seeing an MKII's sides being stripped.

awesome, those pieces are the last 2 things I need to complete my 2 main control panels.
I'm still waiting on a stupid vga cable for my monitor, but I'm hoping to get this thing up and running this weekend finally, and post some pics. On sunday I made a ghetto looking box to house my defender control panel until I get around to creating an entire new top piece and moving all the leaf switches/defender stick/buttons over to it. that will be hacking up a defender control panel but I'll keep the original board and all the parts, I may buy a defender project one day when I have more space, then I'll put all the parts back in the original control panel, that's one of the few dedicated games I'd like to have.

sf4 in windows is not really an option because I'm running an ArcadeVGA card. It won't cost me anything to try the x360 in the cabinet so I'll give it a whirl and determine if it's worth the trouble.

as promised here are some pics of my ghetto defender control panel housing. it's sturdy and swappable and functional but looks noice (ok maybe not noice bad, but you get the idea)
