I don't buy stuff from a SNAKE, but thats just me. I guess you missed the whole ULTRACADE fiasco. I dunno how many here actually bought thier products.
My only advice:
1. Don;t buy from a SNAKE

I LOVE Ultracade products

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2006, 06:30:30 pm »

eccs19,

Just do a search on BYOAC,

Type ULTRACADE, in search

Maybe along with these words:

THEIF

M@@THER F@@KER

J@CK@SS

PUNK @SS B@TCH

You will probably then get the whole story on ULTRACADE.

The thing is, you can disregard the Ultracade rep around here. $1500 is still ALOT for what you get.

Why Susan?

That's from a In Living Color skit, basically insulting your manhood - j/k of course...

It's retro, and as such belongs on this board.

BTW, have you checked the vector, Victor?

ChadTower · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2006, 11:29:52 am »

SO CLOSE but not the right response.

I will still call you Shirley.

Q*Bert_OP · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2006, 05:39:37 pm »

Okay, Let me explain something to y'all...I help out with conversions and monitor repairs at a friend's amusment biz. They buy the Ultracade kits, I install them. They buy whatever earns well. Ultracade kits are easy to install, have great emulation, and earn well...esp. SFII

Do not flame me

clanggedin · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2006, 06:04:24 pm »

I can put together a SFII cab for well under $150, just from parts off of Ebay. If that's the only game that's bringing in the money on that cab, then I would rethink the Ultracade purchases anbd buy some old SFII cabs. You can throw a new monitor at them and still be under $1500.

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #24 on:** January 05, 2006, 06:34:34 pm »

Clanggedin,

That makes sense!

No offense Qbert247
