Title: Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
Post by: SuperShadowRyan on December 04, 2007, 01:55:40 pm
Ok, I know what I want to do. I am going to get a Virtua Fighter 2 cab.

here are my questions:


1. This is just in general, is all the data of an arcade game stored in the motherboard?(Or you might call it chipset)

2. If 1 is true, what do I need to get to have the arcade game up and running?
I've seen this:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrje0yVPlJY[/youtube]

Look at the first 5 seconds.
What kind of monitor do I need? How do i connect it to such monitor?

3. I need the controls for the game. Can i get them anywhere or should I just build my own?

3-2. speaking of controls, If I were to build my own, how would I configure them to the game... or is that in the guide?

3-3. Just out of curiosity, if I were to walk into some arcade, would the buttons on a Tekken 3 arcade machine be microswitch or leaf? those are the ones I like.

4. Is there anywhere I can buy the motherboard/chipset for the game?

thanks.

1st off, u need to decide if you are going to be building a mame cabinet or going after a true aracde cabinet.  They are quite different.

Real arcade cab. The motherboard part was the tip-off for that. Besides, MAME cant emulate VF2... unless you dump it, but i dont have a device for that.

Patients, it's only been 30 min since your last post.

Get the game manual.  Hopefully it tells you what pin outs to use for the controls and monitor.  This game uses a Med Res monitor which are not cheap.  You can't use a Standard Res Monitor on the game.

If you have no electronics experience I suggest checking out Randy Fromm's website.

For the PCB, I would just keep checking on Ebay.  Don't buy a board that says it has not been tested.

and where would I get the game manua- Dont tell me i have to buy the MANUAL.
Can I look it up online somewhere?
and what is med-res? Computer monitor? HDTV? More?
and can someone answer my MAIN question, about the motherboard?

oh, one last thing. Is there a guide on this site that tells you how to make an arcade cab with the pcb? If there is, then Ill check there.

Manual - http://arcarc.xmission.com/PDF_Arcade_Manuals_and_Schematics/Virtua%20Fighter%202.pdf (http://arcarc.xmission.com/PDF_Arcade_Manuals_and_Schematics/Virtua%20Fighter%202.pdf)

Yes, all the data of an arcade game is stored in the motherboard.
Some, not all, have a hardrive as well.

The buttons you walk up to are most likely microswitch type. You can always tell if they "click" or not. Leaf switches do not click.

As far as what you need to get it up and running depends on what all you actuallt do get with the cabinet.
Power supply, wiring harness, buttons, joysticks, etc.

As for the monitor, you will need an actual medium resolution 25khz monitor or a new multi-sync monitor. (spendy either way)

As for a guide.......there are many web sites such as the one posted above already. The thing to do is read up a bit on the different compnents and what they are and do. There's really not a whole lot to it in order to understand at least the basics of it all. But each machine may have slight variances from one another. This is where the individual manuals come in to play..... a must have for each individual game.

alright, Ill look into that. But my main question is, see the video I posted? I want that, And then I will Put it into a cabinet. Sorry, If I asked the question you awnsered... I dont know if I did or not.

First of all, it seems like you are pretty much starting off with almost zero knowledge of this hobby, so I would recommend you read, read, and then read some more about how arcade machines work, what kind of monitor you need, safety, cabinet conversions, how to wire, the JAMMA standard, and any other of a hundred other things.  This basic knowledge will make things go much faster and smoother and save you a lot of headaches.

Secondly, the video you posted is of a Japanese arcade machine.  So it isn't a matter of whether it is a microswitch or leaf button since it's a whole different thing.

This is the kind of cab a Virtua Fighter game should truly be played on:

http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/machines/cabinets_only/Blast_City_569.html

This is a sega Blast City cabinet and is pretty common for Japanese fighting games use.  It would serve you extremely well in what you're wanting to do.  This may look a little pricey, but they can sometimes be found used for considerably less.


EDIT:

OR

You could look around for the odd pc monitor that supports 25khz modes.  They are rare, but when found will cost a fraction of the cost of a new arcade monitor.  Check monitorworld.com for 25khz capable monitors like NEC XM series, Sony PVM series, and Mitsubishi Megaview and Diamond series.

yes, i have very little knowledge of arcade machines. Is there a guide that all the info. for working on an arcade cab with a pcb? is it here?

and im looking at a cab for VF2 for $250.
Title: Re: Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
Post by: Jack Burton on December 04, 2007, 04:50:39 pm
Is there anyway you could post a picture of the cab you are thinking of purchasing?

Is it this one?

and im looking at a cab for VF2 for $250.

You'll need ti find out what all will come with that cabinet before anyone can help with what you are missing.
Also..... study the manual to know what is supposed to be in there.

btw, what do you do with these cartridges?

(http://i3.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/c7/8e/e95d_1.JPG)

Those are for the Sega ST-V system - http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=711 (http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=711)

Virtua Fighter 2 does not use that system - http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=714&gid=2044#2044 (http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=714&gid=2044#2044)
Once again...... study the manual on the game you wish to install.

I know it sounds like we just keep repeating this information, but until you have a starting point otherwise it's hard to give out specific information. We're more than happy to help.... but you have to start somewhere if you plan to build a dedicated arcade machine. There's a basic sequence you have to follow in a sense if you're just starting to learnm.

1. What dedicated game do you want?
2. What cabinet do you have?
3. What parts are already in that cabinet?
4. What parts are missing?
5. etc
6. etc

Tell us what that cabinet has in it already before you buy it for $250.
For that price all that should be missing is maybe the monitor and the game pcb at the most. IMO
Title: Re: Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
Post by: SuperShadowRyan on December 04, 2007, 04:59:46 pm
1. Virtua Fighter 2
2. I don't have one, but i want one similar to the real cab for virtua fighter.
3. None.
4. everything.
5. That's it. I just want a cheap fix for VF2, and I think building one around the PCB would be cheaper.
Title: Re: Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
Post by: SuperShadowRyan on December 04, 2007, 05:00:56 pm
the cab im looking at is from ebay, and says this:

This game is in very good condition, fully operational and has a dedicated cabinet.  The game can be set to free play or coin operation, the coin mechanisms and locks are not included because most people buying these games are putting them in the basement.  For an additional $40 I will include fully operational coin mechs and locks.  This game is being sold on an "asis" basis and does not come with a warranty.  See additional posts for more pics (or send me an email).
Title: Re: Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
Post by: Jack Burton on December 04, 2007, 05:24:05 pm
That is a very nice deal for 250$, especially if the monitor works.  That cab looks clean and is of a very good design. 


I would go ahead and pay the extra 40$ for the coin door.  It looks better, and feels better to put in actual quarters instead of using a coin button.

Keep in mind that when you buy this cab you do not have to limit yourself to just the game that comes in it.  Virtua Fighter is a standard JAMMA game, and there a literally thousands of other games that will fit into that cabinet.  You may have an issue with the monitor not syncing to the correct frequency however.   But even then, you would still be able to play any standard JAMMA game that can run at 25khz.

Post by: SuperShadowRyan on December 04, 2007, 05:42:50 pm
Oh, crap. My parents say I cant have it. :censored:

So if I cant do that, here is what sums up my cab.

I want to build a standard 2-player, Hori-like joystick controls, arcade cab modeled after Virtua fighter 2, modeled around the PCB of Virtua Fighter 2. I want it to be a coin mech, and have coin doors, it needs a test switch, and some nice art. The art i can design, (Photoshop)
but I need to print it out. I will find a decent monitor, and find someone to put the monitor in action. I dont need a PC, i just need the PCB, and I think i can find someone also to do the woodworking. I need to find out the dimensions of a VF2 cab. and I think that building one is cheaper, If I can't have that one.

long story short: a cheap home-built VF2 cab.
Title: Re: Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
Post by: Kevin Mullins on December 04, 2007, 06:50:22 pm
If that is a fully working machine for $250 ....... then that will be much cheaper than piecing it together and building it from scratch. 
(granted only if it stays at $250)

If you want a dedicated machine like this, then it's MUCH cheaper to buy a real one than to build one from scratch.

Personally I don't think that you really know what you want.  I think you'll find that you get bored with a dedicated machine very quickly. It doesn't sound like you plan on having or collecting multiple machines.

The very first thing you should do is to buy Saint's Book "Project Arcade" and read read read. Then come back here and ask us specific questions when you have a problem to solve. At the moment it's all a bit in the air and not defined enough.

Building a machine from the ground up around a dedicated board is both expensive and difficult to achieve. I don't think you quite realise, how expensive......  You can certainly forget $250.  If you build a dedicated from the ground up you'll be looking at more like $700 to $1000.

Yep, everything that has been said is right and I would like to add one more thing:

You should probably find  a cheap cabinet near where you live, something under 100$.  You can then add a tv, pc, and controls for a good MAME cab.  This will let you get used to the idea of owning an arcade machine.  That is, the ordeal of moving the thing, installing controls, wiring, etc.

yeah, but until I am sure I am going to be able to dedicate time to this, I wont spend any money. Can I just hook up different PCB's to the cab? One PCB at a time? I only play fighters, and Virtua fighter 2 doesnt work on mame. Many of the games I want Do not work on mame.

Could I get a Cab with a monitor already installed? thats all the REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard work done. The rest is art, controls and hooking things up.

These threads bring a smile to my face.  Take your time kid.  It's like taking a flight on an airplane, you can wish you were getting there faster, but it's still going to take the same amount of time.  I have the general feeling that if you don't buy an already finished cabinet, you will need to start at a much more simple level and put some time into this.  There is no way to do this overnight.  Also, I would strongly suggest using mame and researching if Virtua Fighter is emulated in any of the consoles like Dreamcast or PS1.

Virtua fighter 2 is not for ps1. Dreamcast emu is faulty. And I need the arcade version. And cant I just hook up different PCB's? And If I were to build a Cab, I need most of my materials already in front of me. Otherwise, I lose confidence. I want to start right away, and i want it to feel like a Virtua Fighter 2 cab. I need specifics. I need the Dimensions of a good Fighting game cab for two players. Sorry, I cant think of things to say right now.

Well, what materials would you reccomend to me for starters? Like what kind of wood, where to get PCB's, and coin mechs and doors, blah blah blah... WAIT! If I convince my parents to buy me the cab... then I can just get the PCB's and replace the controls to 6 button, right? Otherwise, continue with what I said before.

The screen would stretch to the monitor's size, but that's all I would want to change.

err... and minus the trackball and whatever that silver thing is. I only play games that use buttons.

I think you should slow down and think about what you want.  If you truely only want a VF2 cab then buying a working one is probably your cheapest option.  Fozzy was right on with his price estimate.  I'd also echo his sentiment that you will likely get bored with a dedicated machine.  You can build a MAME cab and modify it to play other games with the flip of a switch.  A lot of people put Dreamcasts inside for example.

yes, but let me get my point accross. MAME CANNOT EMULATE VIRTUA FIGHTER 2. NOR DO I HAVE THE CORRECT MACHINERY TO DUMP IT.
I can just buy PCB's and hook them up differently. I can stand it.

This is something you can handle.  I know you really want to build your dream VF2 cabinet first, but you need to do this to ensure that all your screw-ups (and you will screw something up) will be done on this relatively cheap cab.  


This is my recipe:

1.  Find a gutted cabinet for under 100$.  Don't worry about monitors or controls.  

2.  Find a saturn and a copy of Virtua Fighter 2.  Should cost more than 50$.

3.  Buy some cheap X-arcade joysticks and buttons.

4.  Find a 19" television.

5.  Hack some saturn controllers for your controls.  You can alternatively ask someone to do this for you in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.  

Put the stuff in the cab.  Voila, your first cab.


IF you insist on building your own, then I recommend MDF board and lots of time.   This is not something that someone who has little knowledge of woodworking and construction can do in a day, or even a week probably, and that is if they are following designs.

I'd also like to add that Virtua Fighter 2 was released for the PS2 in Japan as part of the Sega Ages collection.   You would need to mod a ps2 to play this in your cab, but it would also mean that you could play Virtua Fighter 4 and hell of a lot of really awesome PS2 arcade ports.

And there is a version of VF2 for PC that is apparently even better than the PS2 version.

I'll echo what MegaUltraSuper said there..... I think he's giving you a good route to go down.

Secondly!  Take note of what I said earlier. The very first thing you should do is to buy Saint's Book "Project Arcade" and read read read you can get it from Amazon.

Thirdly.... if it's just that you want to play the arcade version of that game, you could use a "Supergun" and not build a cabinet at all. That way you could connect the actual arcade board directly to an ordinary TV set and use some console controlers. Saint's Book explains what a "Supergun" is.... GO BUY THAT BOOK FIRST!!

I repeat again! GO BUY SAINT's BOOK!! "PROJECT ARCADE" and read it! it'll give you a far better idea of what you are doing and lots of inspiration. It'll answer a lot of the questions you are asking.

ALSO!! Follow this link! and again Read Read Read: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/ (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/)

1.ok... yes, I know its in Sega Ages, but ive heard the framerate dropps and Im not gonna mod my ps2 for it.
2. Sega saturn vers. of VF2 doesnt cut it. the backgrounds are still shots. And why cant I just
Plug in different PCB s?

And I will do that method, but I will do it with a ps2 and hori fighting sticks (I cant find normal ones and the enhanced ones are so damn expensive.) Can anyone point out good places to find stuff like a gutted cab, and PCB's? I want arcade versions of Virtua fighter and tekken 3, Dammit! Just the PCB's! no one awnsers the PCB question! He is giving me a good route, but I will use that for a second one.

Like I said! Build or buy a supergun!...... You can plug different boards into it. As for boards... Ebay!

AND GO BUY SAINT's BOOK DAMMIT!!

There's no instant answer here, this is going to take time effort and money. You're not going to be able to do this overnight. Plan on at least three or more months.

sigh... ITS THE F***ing backgrounds. Still shots. They p*** me off. I know im being picky, but I think I should sum it up for everyone just what I want.

2 arcade cabs, one for actual arcade games, and one for my ps2.
Arcade games: Virtua fighter 2, Tekken 3, Marvel vs. Capcom (not Read Only Memory 's, the PCB's that I can buy.
Both cabinet styles: nice fighting game style, 6 button, 8-way joystick. Kinda looks like the one I posted earlier.
Ps2 control: 2 Hori like Joystick controls with the same kind of layout.

There. That good enough?

AND I AM GOING TO BUY SAINT'S BOOK DAMMIT!!!

Yelling aside, I will.

OK..... I'll try again..... But this is the last time.....  TRY LISTENING! 

You can plug the original arcade boards into a SUPERGUN..... Which will let you run them on an ordinary monitor or an ordinary TV set.. You will be running the original game board without having to build a full cabinet.

Go read the WIKI link in my last post.... here... I'll paste it again: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/ (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/)

There is no instant answer to what you want to do! Time and Money are what you need to think about.

sigh... ITS THE F***ing backgrounds. Still shots. They p*** me off. I know im being picky, but I think I should sum it up for everyone just what I want.

2 arcade cabs, one for actual arcade games, and one for my ps2.
Arcade games: Virtua fighter 2, Tekken 3, Marvel vs. Capcom (not Read Only Memory 's, the PCB's that I can buy.
Both cabinet styles: nice fighting game style, 6 button, 8-way joystick. Kinda looks like the one I posted earlier.
Ps2 control: 2 Hori like Joystick controls with the same kind of layout.

There. That good enough?

AND I AM GOING TO BUY SAINT'S BOOK DAMMIT!!!

Yelling aside, I will.

Ah, I gotcha. What you want is to build a cabinet to play PS2 games. It's not too hard. You can then play some of those fighters. Only 1 cabinet needed!

This thread hurts my brain ... I am being pulled to one side by the little voice saying "be helpful to the new guy who needs some guidance" and pulled to the other side by the little voice saying "bitchslap the obnoxious guy who somehow fails to see that people are trying to help him".

SuperShadowRyan -- STOP FREAKING YELLING AT EVERYBODY TO HELP YOU WHEN YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU WANT !!! If people are taking the time to answer your questions and help you, then be decent enough to show some appreciation.

We can't help you if you refuse to listen and learn. Part of your refusal to listen is likely due to your inexperience and a building frustration with that inexperience.

First, if you are relying on your parents to buy this and they won't buy the cabinet then your time is better spent reading and learning, not yelling.

From what I read, you want to build a cabinet to play VF2 (and maybe some other games) for less than it would cost to buy a dedicated VF2.

Is that correct ?

You really need to slow down, exactly like mccoy suggests (and he is more polite about it than I will be) ... you don't yet have the first clue what to do but you seem to insist on telling everybody that they are wrong or that they don't understand.

I sincerely doubt that you can come up with a situation that stumps the folks here ... it's not like we don't know what we're talking about ... it's that you aren't yet able to ask the right questions (and there is no crime there!)

Slow down, listen and learn and things will go more smoothly.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible.

actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:

eleventy twelve


I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D

I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,

DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.

GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.

YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.

Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore. 

Since you have a hatred for ebay, another good place for a virtua fighter pcb would be to search out every arcade within 100 miles and ask if they have a pcb laying around.

This is a small hobby and even smaller for the pcb side, don't expect to find what you want easily.

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.

but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible.

actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D

I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,

DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.

GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.

YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.

Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore. 

Since you have a hatred for ebay, another good place for a virtua fighter pcb would be to search out every arcade within 100 miles and ask if they have a pcb laying around.

This is a small hobby and even smaller for the pcb side, don't expect to find what you want easily.

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?


And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible.

actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!!

But to the point.

It was 9pm where i live, so I had to go to bed.

But here is my plan. I have someone to do the woodworking of the cab. Relative. Im gonna mount an X-arcade Dual-player Joystick to the cab, then hook the stick up to the Ps2 via the free ps2 adapter. Im gonna have a little slot for the wires, a little door at the bottom for the ps2 and normal controllers If I want to play other games, and get a good size TV. And design the art.

But there is one problem...

Money. Due to this, I will keep planning, but will not buy materials until I am more financially supported. The cab wont be made in a couple of days or weeks. I will save up, and earn money, so let me explain this to you, with a statement..

Human desire knows no bounds.
I am sure you all know this, because today, I am thinking of all the problems I could run into. And I am wondering if it will be worth it blowing all that money on a cab like that. One problem that I am thinking about is the dual player joystick. Since the ps2 detects a second ps2 controller in the second controller slot, I wonder If the adapter will work for two player. Speaking of the controller, I wonder If the Joystick will be detected, because It looks like you might have to hack it. But back to the statement. Lets say I finish the Cab, but 5 days later something that I would want more than the cab, and my parents say I cant get it because of the money I spent. And I might not even use the cab in a couple weeks...err, I probobly will as long as I want to play PS2, but I could think that getting two hori joysticks would have been cheaper and more well-rounded. So my point is, I am going to wait until I am in the right situation for buying it, and can amuse myself with this. It will be my first cab, and It will be a relatively simple one. So when I do build the cab, I will post a video/Pictures of me playing it. (And God I would do SO much better at Street Fighter III.)

So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.

Speaking of the controller, I wonder If the Joystick will be detected, because It looks like you might have to hack it. But back to the statement. Lets say I finish the Cab, but 5 days later something that I would want more than the cab, and my parents say I cant get it because of the money I spent. And I might not even use the cab in a couple weeks...err, I probobly will as long as I want to play PS2, but I could think that getting two hori joysticks would have been cheaper and more well-rounded. So my point is, I am going to wait until I am in the right situation for buying it, and can amuse myself with this. It will be my first cab, and It will be a relatively simple one. So when I do build the cab, I will post a video/Pictures of me playing it. (And God I would do SO much better at Street Fighter III.)

So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? To be honest getting a gutted cab will be cheaper than buying one. Hell here in the UK you can get a candy cab style machine with PC and Touchscreen in it for £60 ($120) and all you would need to add to that would be a control panel.

If you do get a cab ask around to see if you can borrow one and see if it fits in your basement. With regards to PCB's check that they have the code for noisy as this can be a problem, don't forget a lot of sellers will offer free shipping although that can vary in cost but it is free.

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.

but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible.

actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:

eleventy twelve


I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D

I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,

DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.

GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.

YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.

Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore. 

Since you have a hatred for ebay, another good place for a virtua fighter pcb would be to search out every arcade within 100 miles and ask if they have a pcb laying around.

This is a small hobby and even smaller for the pcb side, don't expect to find what you want easily.

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?


And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

 :blah:  :banghead:

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.

I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!!

But to the point.

It was 9pm where i live, so I had to go to bed.

But here is my plan. I have someone to do the woodworking of the cab. Relative. Im gonna mount an X-arcade Dual-player Joystick to the cab, then hook the stick up to the Ps2 via the free ps2 adapter. Im gonna have a little slot for the wires, a little door at the bottom for the ps2 and normal controllers If I want to play other games, and get a good size TV. And design the art.

But there is one problem...

Money. Due to this, I will keep planning, but will not buy materials until I am more financially supported. The cab wont be made in a couple of days or weeks. I will save up, and earn money, so let me explain this to you, with a statement..

Human desire knows no bounds.

DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.

but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible.

actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.  My next system will be using one as I wanted both pc and console (ps2 and xbox).  Buying a new one, of course not, but I was able to pickup one local for like 20 bucks inlcluding all the needed adapter.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.

but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible.

actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:

eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/887e/
http://www.rofl.name/roflcopter/ (http://www.rofl.name/roflcopter/)  Sweet !!  ;D
"Itsy Bitsy ..... Teeny Weeny ..... __________________ "
What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter  ;D
This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!

I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.

Wow you all have absolutely no life.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.

Wow you all have absolutely no life.

Hey, this IS pretty fun after all! ;D :laugh2:

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter  ;D
This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter
It looks
like we need...
25 times as many...
posts to make...
a whole page!


I'm hopping on this bandwagon. Sniff...snifff...I smell derailment...mmmm....good times...good times...
(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!   ;D

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter
It looks
like we need...
25 times as many...
posts to make...
a whole page!


I'm hopping on this bandwagon. Sniff...snifff...I smell derailment...mmmm....good times...good times...
(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!   ;D

Hey! I forgot all about this! Back to pyramid building!

I can't believe I never saw this before...   haha. 

Whoever thought of this is both extremely sick..  and extremely clever.  :applaud:

I wonder at what point this thread will crash? :)

(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!   ;D

Hey! I forgot all about this! Back to pyramid building!

I can't believe I never saw this before...   haha. 

Whoever thought of this is both extremely sick..  and extremely clever.  :applaud:

I wonder at what point this thread will crash? :)

My daily add.

Had forgotten all about this one.   ;D

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

"Itsy Bitsy ..... Teeny Weeny ..... __________________ "
What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter  ;D
This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter
It looks
like we need...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter
It looks

posts to make...
a whole page!


I'm hopping on this bandwagon. Sniff...snifff...I smell derailment...mmmm....good times...good times...
(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!   ;D

Hey! I forgot all about this! Back to pyramid building!

I can't believe I never saw this before...   haha. 

Whoever thought of this is both extremely sick..  and extremely clever.  :applaud:

I wonder at what point this thread will crash? :)

My daily add.

Had forgotten all about this one.   ;D

What are you talking about? Arcade? Cabinet?

We still need a quote button at the bottom. I'm almost to lazy to scroll up to find it.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter
It looks
like we need...
25 times as many...
posts to make...
a whole page!


I'm hopping on this bandwagon. Sniff...snifff...I smell derailment...mmmm....good times...good times...
(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!   ;D

Hey! I forgot all about this! Back to pyramid building!

I can't believe I never saw this before...   haha. 

Whoever thought of this is both extremely sick..  and extremely clever.  :applaud:

I wonder at what point this thread will crash? :)

My daily add.

Had forgotten all about this one.   ;D
I take it that this is the one and only spam thread?  I got side tracked along reading this and never figured out if the dude got his cabinet built or not...  Anyone have any Cliff's Notes for it?

The Cliff notes version is.... No.

He was a kid who wanted the world, didn't want to pay for it, and didn't know how to start getting it. He also didn't want to look at any other posts on the site for info.

Thank you.  I know personally that it took me about 3 years of research in what I wanted to do and before I pulled the trigger to build...  I swear the kids today only want instant gratification and don't want to have to work for it. 

Today my kids must see the picture I just took of them, with the digital camera, immediately after it is taken... What the hell would they do if we actually had film that had to be developed?

Were we like this to our previous generation as well?

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

Thank you.  I know personally that it took me about 3 years of research in what I wanted to do and before I pulled the trigger to build...  I swear the kids today only want instant gratification and don't want to have to work for it. 

Today my kids must see the picture I just took of them, with the digital camera, immediately after it is taken... What the hell would they do if we actually had film that had to be developed?

It took me a year from the time I decided I wanted a cab until I made one, and I've learned and realized that the cab itself and basic setup is pretty easy...  the cp will probably take me another six months to make one the way I want it.  That's mainly because of my work schedule, but I do think the cp takes at least twice as long as the cab, especially if you are planning a custom design or modular setup.

Instant gratification to me is spending a boat load of money on a pre-built multi game cab.  There's nothing wrong with that but some people really like the satisfaction they get knowing they made their own machine.

I also do a lot of Home Theater screen development and the same mindset applies there too... some people like building and creating things and think that's just as much fun as the end product.    It's especially satisfying when you build something that actually looks nicer and performs better than the commercial product.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow.  :laugh: :cheers:
:cheers:
Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?
Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV
cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.
65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.
I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.
:cheers:
I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid! :angry:
Pyramid FTW!  :cheers:
This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  :cheers: :applaud: Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??
We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure  :cheers:
this is true...
I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??
No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.
I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.
He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?
School?
I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?
you mean 51 responses....
Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52! :cheers:
eleventy twelve
I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak  :D
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?
I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.
Boobies!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?
Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!
Just like a Nintendo joystick ....
A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]
Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/
No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...
This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!
Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.
I love LAMP!
Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.
This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.
That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...
Amen to that brother! :cheers:
No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)
WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  :cheers: To Arcades.
So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]
Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.
Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........
Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  ;D )
Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!
SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke  :cheers:
Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.
I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!
My brain hurts.   :dizzy:
Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?
ROFL I just did....  :laugh2:  :cheers:
I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   ::)
roflcopter!
Double roflcopter  :laugh2: So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!
So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.
ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....  :laugh2:

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.
That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   ;)
It's a Mayan pyramid.
Chewbaka...  the wookie
There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"
That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird
I'm getting dizzy scrolling down. :dizzy:  btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.
Needs more cowbell.
He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!
I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.
Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.
And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just needs to be a few pixels wider.
I guess I was messing up the symmetry...
Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.
I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.
Still needs more cowbell.
The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.
That sounds like a good job for McCoy.  ;D
pyramid scheme, ftw!
I second that Lew!
Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.
P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird
This is completely retarded.
Utterly retarded I tell you.
Wow you all have absolutely no life.
And yet you proceed to add more foundation........
Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter
It looks
like we need...
25 times as many...
posts to make...
a whole page!


I'm hopping on this bandwagon. Sniff...snifff...I smell derailment...mmmm....good times...good times...
(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!   ;D

Hey! I forgot all about this! Back to pyramid building!

I can't believe I never saw this before...   haha. 

Whoever thought of this is both extremely sick..  and extremely clever.  :applaud:

I wonder at what point this thread will crash? :)

My daily add.

Had forgotten all about this one.   ;D
I take it that this is the one and only spam thread?  I got side tracked along reading this and never figured out if the dude got his cabinet built or not...  Anyone have any Cliff's Notes for it?

The Cliff notes version is.... No.

He was a kid who wanted the world, didn't want to pay for it, and didn't know how to start getting it. He also didn't want to look at any other posts on the site for info.

Were we like this to our previous generation as well?


Cliff notes version.... Yes.

I've never really appreciated the ability to scroll really fast on my laptop until now.

I've got nothing to say, really. So.... Ecky ecky ecky ecky P'Tang! Zoop-boing mmmzoesm...

I was just bored ..... that is all ..... carry on.
Can't believe I never saw this before.
must join this insanity for my very first post...BOOYAH!!!!!
