Title: classic arcade
Post by: bradx on June 24, 2009, 02:43:25 am
got this 2 days ago, traded for a non working but almost complete centipede cocktail.

right away i designed a control panel and dropped that in there.  its 3 buttons now, but the plan is to make it 6 eventually.

i took an old 19" TV out of its plastic case for a monitor, and put in an old radio shack amp with a 3 band eq to power the speakers with a little low end.  i have an old version of mame running on an laptop someone gave us that boots automatically to the game screen using windows 98, no keyboard or mouse needed once its configured.

its pretty much set up now though i still have some detail work to do.

Nice classic shaped cab. Any idea what game(s) were previously installed?

it was an area 51 in a past life, but im guessing it was something else well before that.
