So how’s this work again? If I say I like it, it gets its own sub-forum, right?

It’s a full-size machine, not a toy. It can stay put. ;)

The earlier version of this site pre-dated (affordable) keyboard encoders... if you wanted to make a control panel you HAD to hack something. Pretty early on Andy started selling encoders and the jpac and many of the old guard was against this commercialized short-cut. Now we can all agree that is a bit silly. I for one am glad that people now have options as it means more people get to enjoy old games. I like to do it myself... hell I even write a lot of the software end of things as well, but someone that can't screw two pieces of wood together should be allowed to play as well.
My point is people byoac for different reasons.... for some it's the process and for others it's the end product and that's ok.
That being said, this is atGames. They couldn't even do a $20 hdmi stick right so I don't have any faith in this particular product.

I agree. I remember buying a Hagstrom KE-24 early on for a keyboard encoder for some decent $$$, the only other option was people wiring into keyboard matrices, and having ghosting issues..
I have built and torn down 3 arcade machines.. This time around I'm planning on getting an empty cab and modding it. I would love to build it from scratch, but know I don't realistically have the time. Hell, I bought my SkeeBall machine a year ago and while I spent a little time on the software, I have barely done anything to it.
Sometimes convenience trumps DIY. I agree on a DIY forum it should be primarily about DIY, but it doesn't mean people can't discuss/get excited about commercially available options.

*Dirty little secret...If you love building machines you WILL find the time, Learning new skills and researching everything you can, Idly lost in thought at a traffic light, wandering around the mall, forgetting how you got there and what you were supposed to pick up, just because MikeA apparently cant weld and it makes you mad, Looking for parts and equipment on E/pay while you poop and dreaming in full color...Oh yes if you truly love the machines you WILL find the time.

Anyone else sick of seeing 64th street and 88 games at the top of your games lists....

I like 64th street but what's odd is the fact that it's on this machine. Is this going to be another one of those deals where they assure everyone they have the proper licensing but a few years later we'll find out they didn't?
It looks like a 1up cab, which is decidedly a bad thing. Also note the horrible layout. It's a good attempt but an ugly design, horrible side art and a frakenpanel undoubtedly squeezed on a cp too small to accommodate it.
