I don't think its so bad. None of the art hacked, original bezel. All it needs is a control panel and marquee to appear correct. The thing I can't comprehend is wanting to play any Neo Geo game over Defender. ;) |

I'm diggin' the coin door. ;D |

This is easily restorable back to a Defender so I say no harm no foul. In fact it's these types of conversions that I will say is well done. How many It's comparable to seeing a crapload of Donkey Kongs that were kit'ed with Rastan "a non Nintendo title" just as this is not an Atari title. This kind of a thread suprises me simply because this site promotes using classic machines for MAME. Not just MAME'd but heavily laden with black paint that ruins any chance of using the original stenciled artwork. But these machines get a thumbs up? Bottom line - you can't save them all. |

But I'm sure to restore what may be missing on the inside would mean to destroy yet another machine. These parts have to come from somewhere. --- Quote from: Deadly on December 16, 2009, 11:45:41 pm ---How many It's comparable to seeing a crapload of Donkey Kongs that were kit'ed with Rastan "a non Nintendo title" just as this is not an Atari Williams title. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Deadly on December 16, 2009, 11:45:41 pm ---This kind of a thread suprises me simply because this site promotes using classic machines for MAME.

But it sure would be nice to think we could. Trust me, I have some hacked up hopeless cabinets I'm still debating on whether it's worth "restoring" them or not. |

This site promotes building your own machine. Hence the title BYOAC. Most members here highly discourage maming a classic unless it so far gone as to be not economically restorable or it has already been converted or mutilated and ruined for restoration. Encryptor |
