I may be getting an MK cabinet - JPAC to go to MAME??

(1/3) > >>

GCS:
After reading up on the Ultimarc site about the J-PAC this sounds like what I need for this cabinet to allow MAME ability.

If I get this cabinet it will be 100% working with boards, Monitor, and Controls.  What exactly would I need to be able to use everything in the cabinet (I may replace all the joysticks and buttons as they look pretty worn).

Based on preliminary research it looks like I need a J-PAC and Arcade VGA card, is this right??

I would be getting the cabinet for $175, the cabinet is in pretty decent shape (no side art though -- its been removed) and has LOTS of nice internal bracing and the monitor looks fine.  I intend to do a new CP overlay, Marquee and side art (I really like what SNAAKE posted in the projects forum and would like to go with that if he is agreeable to it).

Anyway enough babbling, let me know your advice please.

THANKS!!

If that's an original Mortal Kombat (and not a conversion) don't Mame it!  They're quite sought after.

GCS:
Nope not a true MK cabinet.  I am sure its a conversion because it does not look like the MK cabinet on the KLOV site.

It is much more like the MKII cabinet on the KLOV site but has MK 1 in it.

Hey guys, doesn't Mortal Kombat use a medium resolution monitor?

If so, I don't think it will work with the ArcadeVGA card unless the monitor has a switch/jumper to run it as a low res monitor (15KHz).

GCS:
Well I bought the cab last night, will get overe the w/e sometime (raining yesterday  :( ).

Anyway its actually an MKII cabinet with Relief Pitcher (fully working with a 25" Wells Gardner monitor in there as well).  I believe most call this a Dynamo cabinet and looks EXACTLY like the one pictured on the KLOV site for MKII.

The cabinet will definitely need some love from me but none of the panels are warped, swelled etc.  It is very solid and sturdy and should do nicely for a dedicated MAME fighter cab.  Now to decide whether or not to keep and use the monitor or not  :-\
