Title: Advice Needed - MAME'ing Virtua Striker Cab
Post by: iano on May 28, 2008, 03:00:32 pm

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has converted a Virtua Striker/Fighter Cab (late 90's). I've seen one in a warehouse and the cab looks in pretty good condition. I have two main concerns. 1.) The cab seems to be made of white laminated mdf - i don't mind it being white, i'm just wondering if i can somehow remove the sideart without damaging anything. 2.) What monitors are inside these cabs and will they be suitable for emulation/frontend use ? I haven't an actual photo of the cab as it was on a shelf way up high in the warehouse. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Should be just fine to Mame - they have a medium resoultion monitor, pair that up with an ArcadeVGA card from Ultimarc and you are good to go. Of course, I would also recommend AtomicFE (http://atomicfe.com/EN2) for a front end choice...

Thanks for the advice Havok. But i think on the frontend side of things i'll probably stick with GameEx (it's the only FE i've tried but i'm happy enough with it).
