Questions about building an arcade cabinet.
SuperShadowRyan:
1. Virtua Fighter 2
2. I don't have one, but i want one similar to the real cab for virtua fighter.
3. None.
4. everything.
5. That's it. I just want a cheap fix for VF2, and I think building one around the PCB would be cheaper.
SuperShadowRyan:
the cab im looking at is from ebay, and says this:
This game is in very good condition, fully operational and has a dedicated cabinet. The game can be set to free play or coin operation, the coin mechanisms and locks are not included because most people buying these games are putting them in the basement. For an additional $40 I will include fully operational coin mechs and locks. This game is being sold on an "asis" basis and does not come with a warranty. See additional posts for more pics (or send me an email).
Jack Burton:
That is a very nice deal for 250$, especially if the monitor works. That cab looks clean and is of a very good design.
I would go ahead and pay the extra 40$ for the coin door. It looks better, and feels better to put in actual quarters instead of using a coin button.
Keep in mind that when you buy this cab you do not have to limit yourself to just the game that comes in it. Virtua Fighter is a standard JAMMA game, and there a literally thousands of other games that will fit into that cabinet. You may have an issue with the monitor not syncing to the correct frequency however. But even then, you would still be able to play any standard JAMMA game that can run at 25khz.
SuperShadowRyan:
Oh, crap. My parents say I cant have it. :censored:
So if I cant do that, here is what sums up my cab.
I want to build a standard 2-player, Hori-like joystick controls, arcade cab modeled after Virtua fighter 2, modeled around the PCB of Virtua Fighter 2. I want it to be a coin mech, and have coin doors, it needs a test switch, and some nice art. The art i can design, (Photoshop)
but I need to print it out. I will find a decent monitor, and find someone to put the monitor in action. I dont need a PC, i just need the PCB, and I think i can find someone also to do the woodworking. I need to find out the dimensions of a VF2 cab. and I think that building one is cheaper, If I can't have that one.
long story short: a cheap home-built VF2 cab.
Kevin Mullins:
If that is a fully working machine for $250 ....... then that will be much cheaper than piecing it together and building it from scratch.
(granted only if it stays at $250)
