A Pit-Fighter cabinet bought
Sylpher:
It is in pretty great shape. Let me change my vote from MAME it, to restore with MAME options.
Are you going to reset the counter or leave it?
Beretta:
i dont get, unless something is broke whats to restore? it looks lntact and in fair shape.. seems the options are.
1. play it
2. mame it then play it.
MaximRecoil:
Pit Fighter was a horrible, horrible game, but I would leave that cabinet as-is and put a PC in there with a J-Pac. I think that having the art and look of a dedicated cabinet is more impressive than whatever one can come up with on their own. It screams "the real thing".
Wasn't this the first arcade game to use fully digitized graphics? If so, it has a bit of historical significance, for whatever that's worth.
I remember being amazed by the graphics when I first saw this game in 1990 at Space Port. Then I played the game, and that's when I first really realized that great graphics ≠ a great game. I never played it again, except for many years later on MAME, and it was as bad as I remembered it.
Raitsa:
Thanks a lot guys for the ideas.
The counter can stay in, I wont be using the coindoors.
I will leave the cabinet as is, just assured of putting a Mame PC in it.
So, what do i _really_ need?
Just a J-pac will do?

You will also need an Ultimarc ArcadeVGA video card, or one of the software solutions (such as "Soft-15KHz") combined with an ordinary video card that is capable of 15 kHz. The ArcadeBGA is the easiest method; the software solution is the cheapest.
