Not currently running anything now. I am kinda waiting to see what solutions come up.
So far I have experimented with rasberry pi and Windows. If I could devise a permanent solution would
even consider my modded original xbox or all of them and a way to switch between. ;)

Key Lime pie is my favourite, but Apple is good too. Just don’t do cherry. Cherry pie is just weird.
But seriously, since you seem like the type to take shortcuts, a Retro pie setup might be an easy way of getting up and running. I mean, you already bought into a subpar arcade experience, might as well go full retard.
There it is, Lew. :lol

I get you're trying to take a dig at me, but why would you insult this guy to try and make your weak ass point?
Hope you're proud of yourself.

This is a true statement. I bought a pallet of A1ups, posted my adventure on the forum, and I am still rolling in the profits!
I made a cabinet for my kids. I used a 60-n-1 for my vertical pacman cabinet. I have one more cabinet to mod and I'm mulling over my options. ;D

A pallet of anything probably doesn't really constitute "profit rolling" I would be skeptical. Even large corporations such a W/mart don't know how to price them for maximum profits and would have to generally rely on quantity (more that 1 skid) to make up the difference . That and the fact most of them seem to be in your game room , that is not considered profit, or even investment given the history of the product. Sorry... Not all is lost however, If you are a business you can write them off as a loss, Kind of like "rolling in profits" on the back end one would supose... Jennifer bought a few to give away as door prizes but there was so little interest, I wound up just giving them (Still in the boxes) to the thrift store. Not much profit there I guess. As for mod ideas for your new one.... I would say...Cut a hole on the front for a coindoor, obtain a cash box, Fill it with Tapioca, or chocolate pudding, and sit back and wait for the mice to come to chew the wiring, and pee in it.
