  • Oh yes, we did!
I will be converting 2 cabinets aof the next fer months: A 19'' dynamo, and an unknown dual monitor cab. The 19'' dynamo will be converted to a neo geo Mvs 1 slot, while the double cab is undecided


(please give me suggestions on vertical games, as the monitors may not rotate easily :D)

I have a couple of Aero Fighter boards if you'd be interested in that. It's a vertical shooter similar to 1942, but suped up. Go check it out on MAME or KLOV if you're not too familiar.  :)

(However, I think just about everybody knows Aero Fighters.)

*update*

The machine had Mr Do!, and 1943 in it which are both working, but 1943 plays blind, but was tested in another cab and found to be working :)

I will need to buy at least 1 25'' monitor, and maybe a 19'' :(

BTW, thanks for the offers on the boards, but because both are working, I won't need to buy any.

I think you should change your thread subject line, cuz more people need to see this "oddity".

I don't understand the purpose of this dual cab. That is just too weird. Isn't it more convenient in all respects, to just use two cabinets? (easier to move around, if one game breaks, you can service it without affecting the other game, etc...)
NO MORE!!

I think its smaller than it looks, it almost appears to be a sit-down machine rather than a full upright.  If it really is an upright that thing must be HEAVY.  However I can't imagine why someone would make it like that unless it was part of a big grouping that all looked similar just had different games (arranged like slot machines?)  I dunno.
