Post by: bkenobi on October 28, 2009, 01:59:41 pm: 1000's of freeware games perhaps?

Post by: TOK on October 28, 2009, 02:57:45 pm: That dude is on KLOV. He actually confessed to it before anyone found it. I cannot comprehend selling the whole thing vs. just stripping the parts and selling to avoid mockery. :lol

So basically completely turn it into a new cab and it wouldn't look bad? :D

Post by: DJ_Izumi on October 28, 2009, 08:39:54 pm: Who comes up with these ergonomics?

Actually, no, here's my question instead; Anyone could easily google image search up hundreds of different arcade cabs, choose the one to their liking, and then use that cab as reference for making their own. WHY DON'T THEY DO THAT?

And succeeding masterfully, I might add ;)

Post by: Gatsu on October 30, 2009, 10:47:29 pm: Please...whoever is close to the thing....go get your picture taken with it and post it up.

And yet, just running MAME on your computer desk with a gamepad would have been MUCH more comfortable.

Easier perhaps than starting over. But, of course it's ridiculous how some people think the wood they bought and the time they put in will equal hundreds of dollars.
