Title: New Tabletop Arcade Best Offer
Post by: anitabill on June 02, 2012, 01:05:03 pm
I am selling a new tabletop arcade. This was designed by my brother and i to do pinball, 5 card poker as well as all other emulators. Here are the details. We used top of the line everything. The pic is what it looks like when it fully assembled. Its 98% there.

This is a custom designed MAME arcade cabinet.

Small tabletop design with a classy look, ideal for any style room. All parts are professional quality and new. This is not a used cabinet.

The picture is what it looks like when fully assembled and with a PC inside.  

This cabinet has every arcade enthusiast in mind. Not only does it have the trackball and joystick, but as you can see it also has two side buttons for pinball and 5 buttons below the bezel for video poker. For those who are not familiar with video poker, these buttons are used as the hold buttons for the cards.  The cabinet is fully wired with speakers already mounted. This also comes with t-molding to be added once assembled (T-molding slot already routed)

What is included?

Cabinet measuring (Height 28in, Width 18in, Depth 27in)
Dell 17 inch Monitor
Marquee (With Marquee light)
Back Panel has slots as well as PC Powered Fan for extra cooling.
4 way to eight 8 way joystick (Switchable outside of the cabinet)
Power button on back that can be wired to the power on the PC motherboard
Classic 6 button player layout
White buttons not only programmable but also serves as the left and right mouse buttons
Trackball not only used for all trackball games but also doubles as mouse.
5 buttons used for video poker or can be programmed for any use.
Winpac

This cabinet is ready for your PC. The back panel is not attached but can be easily assembled once your PC is set.

Can it be purchased with the joystick on the other side?

Unfortunately I only have 1 left and its located on the right.

why is it on the right anyhow I never seen an arcade anything with it all the way to the right?

you both were lefty's perhaps  :dunno

if it were me and I wanted a faster sale I would put it where it belongs as it may take a special buyer for the layout but swapping that board out with some new holes should not be to much hassle.

I would consider it if the price was right and the joystick was on the left but as it sit's with no clue of a price I would have to pass for now although I am somewhat interested but I would either have to swap it out and do it the right way and have some taken off for the mishap or have you build it normal and shoot me a price for it shipped   :cheers:

possible to just remove the board and flip it upside down and around and reinstall the buttons joy's etc. to reverse the whole layout back to normal?

sigh. one funny website and now anything anyone doesn't like is a "crapmame".  :banghead:

Some possibly unfortunate control choices, yes, not sure if I would consider it crap.

For those of us trained on Atari 2600, we use right hand for joystick and left for button.
There is no wrong layout.

I have no beef with the stick placement, but instead defer to arcade history, where early games had the control on the right, which fairly quickly (not quickly enough I still think) went out of style.

Crapmame has grown to become probably the worst meme in this hobby.  It's kind of like hearing someone use Dave Chappelle's "WHAT?" meme from Little John. It was kind of funny (kind of) when the guy first said it.  It was never funny when you or anyone else said it, and on top of that it's grown painfully hackneyed and outdated.

Early games were ambidextrous. Sticks on the left became the norm once two player control panels became popular.

Much has been written about left handed control layouts and why they are a bad decision the majority of the time.

well the atari was the atari but for arcade's it's just weird.

a single finger and button is one thing but when you add 5 more it just get's weird for those that never seen one.
