Custom Cabinet Legality Question

<< < (8/12) > >>

Vigo:
I think it was the gameworks in Vegas i was at where they had a section of classic games all lined up in custom woody cabinets. I think it was designed in a way that they could easily plop in a new PCB and control panel (if need be) for about any game they found. I assume if one PCB fried, they would just grab a new board of any random jamma game and put it in. It was actually kinda cool.

That sort of thing make much more sense to me from an economic and effort perspective than fretting over maintaining a half dozen computers.

that's ugly as all hell, but hey, it works... and sold wood is stronger than partical or mdf any day of the week.

Vigo:
 :cheers: It's been a few years, but I think that might be it. They are a little boxier than I remember, but that is the concept. I think that would be a great solution to allow a rotating selection of arcade games going in a commercial setting.

BobA:
The legal licensing of arcade games in a lot of places is more of a problem.   State and local regulations must be met and whether the game is legal or not the use of the arcade cabinet in a place of business must be OK'd by the local authority who really just care about license fees.
