Home Arcade? Tell us about that #*$&

[FrostbayneAucti]

I've got a Naomi with a 27" high def screen, a 19" neo geo MVS1, an atomiswave 25" dedicated, a computer with itunes and nice speakers for music, a 25" tv with dvd and two comfy fake leather chairs.

[pixeljunkie]

Konami Windy, Neo Candy 29, Galaga dedicated. More to come I'm sure...

[Mr-Megalo]

;)

[Arcademan]

None at the moment...used to own several throughout the years...a few I wish I never got rid of. I have a future Neo-Geo mini-candy deeded to me once it outlives its usefulness in my game room ;)

[galfordo]

A 6-slot big red is about all our little apartment can handle, but I'll probably be checking out the April auction just for the heck of it ( :help: ). Other than that, I do have a consolized 4-slot, which sort of counts as an arcade machine ... but not really.

[Sundance]

I've got a MV-4F Big Red, Original Star Wars upright and a Centipede all in good to very good condition. I'm workin on getting a Pachislot too. :D

[INfintido]

I got a dedicated 1942 machine, and hopefully by summer I'll have a 2-slot neo cab.

[EVIL NICK]

I have ( along with my bro ) :

25" Dynamo, and
25" converted NBA Jam cab ( now a Naomi generic cab )

[lostdog]

Sold off my cabs and I'm down to a single MVS25 these days. I really did enjoy the other cabs I owned, but I enjoy having the space more these days :D Too bad even the MVS doesn't get a whole lot of play thanks to my busy schedule... too hard to part with it though.

[stuffmonger]

For starters... my home arcade/theater stuff is all "project" stuff... I built (or am in the midst of building) all of it. To begin... my computer... a 3.2 gig p4e, 2gig ram, 200 gig of space, ati aiw 9800pro, with blacklights and tons of green uv reactive mods in a 100% clear acrylic case, hooked up to my phillips/magnavox fw540c mini hifi stereo system, and a 21" crt monitor (lcds and flat panels are inferrior to crts!!!). My computer is in the middle of becoming even MORE tricked out... but that project has halted on account of not enough tools to do the job right (if anyone's got a tool to cut small precise cuts in acrylic, please let me know...) You can see my comp mods on my blog which I use to list my projects, and update people on my progress... or... I try to(I havn't updated in awhile) www.xanga.com/stuffmonger . I use my comp for movies, games, internet, etc... damn near everything... My current project is my arcade machine. I have it well on it's way, and have the wiring all done without the cab (don't worry... I havn't sized the wires wrong yet... they're still long) The cab will house a 25" monitor, that i will make on a swivel type system to be able to rotate it for playing both vertical and horizontal games. It will have two player settings with 8 buttons each on the countertop part of the cab that I will be able to switch to lap cps (that there will be four of four four player games... possibly six, if there are more games than xmen with six players) I'm going to put in a multijamma, and have harnesses pre-wired for extras like guns, kick harnesses, wheels, etc... that have molex connectors on the ends (for quick installation) the cab, I have bought supplies for, and will be built out of white melamine coated particle board and painted by one of my good friends (who just so happens to be a great artist and wants to paint it for me)... it'll probably end up with a ninja-pope design of some sort(I'm leaving the design up to him) The games I've got are as follows:
My neo-2-slot with world heroes 2 and fatal fury special (metal slug 2, puzzle bobble, ninja combat, and soccer brawl are en route and should arrive shortly)
My cps-2 with x-men children of the atom (and super street fighter 2 on the way)
and my various jamma boards: tekken 2, desert assault, and run and gun (with rabbit punch, knuckle heads, and fighters history on the way also)...
:drool_2: :D :drool:
I think that's it... for now... W00T!!!

[LaParka]

I'm on my way. Just ordered a 4-Slot MVS and once i've got a few things sorted around the house then a candy from killer cabs is going on order. For the time being though i've got to construct a supergun.

Do you have any pics of your driving game cabs? I'd love to get a nice sit down driving game.

[Spike Spiegel]

There's so many pimps on this site, that my shit ain't shit at all. I've only got three cabs. Dedicated Neo 29 with a four slot in great conditon, and two generican capcom 6-button cabs. Both dedicated. One, a CPS3 SF3, and the other is a Super Street Fighter machine, which has Alpha 2 in it at the moment. I do, of course, have SS2, which I'd like to get ST just because it's the "in" SF2 to have. :envy:

ooh... nice... (x-men cab) :drool_2:

[StealthLurker]

OH SHIIIIIIT. you da man SuperGunGuru. *bows down* :buttrock:

BTW... how the hell does one move that beauty? Great condition too!

My guess is a big-ass dolly... unless... (getting my craziness going on) you got casters that recess up into the cab... kinda like the tall ladders they use at home depot (only... in a cab...) That would be cool... yeah... it would... maybe I'll use that idea on my cab... If I get the recessing casters to work on my cab, would you like me to whip you up a couple SuperGunGuru? (or anyone else for that matter...) I'll have to make them and try them on my own cab first though... My brain is trying to blow fuses again... :make_fac:

[The Chief]

Some very nice stuff people. I've got to admit I'm a big candy cab fan but I've got to admit that X-Men cab is great. An "Arcade" near me has/had one, it's been a while since I've been so I'm not sure if it's still around.

Anyway, here's my current arcade setup:

Cabs

2 x Neo 19SC each with 4-slot
Neo Geo Gold Cab
Capcom Impress

Superguns

Mas Supernova
Vega Jr.
Shadow 4

+ Games for CPS2, Neo Geo, Taito F-3, Taito G-Net, Sega STV, IGS PGM, Kaneko Super Nova, Jaleco Mega System 32, Atomiswave and JAMMA.

It actually splits into 3 parts. The control panel is attached to the main cabinet by 2 hinges and you can unbolt the control panel from them. The main cab where the left side monitor and mirror sit is the second. And finally the right side monitor actually sticks out a good foot off the back of the machine and that can be unbolted from the back. It's also on wheels to make it easier to move around. It's actually pretty easy to push around.

Thats the fucking chair i bought for my cab (Target - 9.99). Theyre nice and small and fold, etc but are shit for comfort (esp. for my big ass). That wanna-be padding is a joke man, 15secs and it evaporates.

Im still looking for a nice Jap-style plush stool for my neo25 candy. One of these days I guess.

[HellioN]

StealthLurker,

Lol ... I too have a very clean monster 6 player X-Men in my junk collection.

That board has one of the best sounding amps I have heard on a cab to date ... we are talking seriously loud and clean volume if you want it..

Pic of the beast here

X-Men cab (http://groups.msn.com/myneogeoandohtergames/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=95/)

Its in storage at the moment due to lack of room and an upstairs apartment...

I have about 6 more oldies in storage ,Sinistar ,Scramble ,sit down Spy hunter that actually works very well :D most dont,and a Star Gate among others.
I also have Theatre of Magic, Break Shot and Flipper Football pins in storage.

My brother has a beautiful San Francisco Rush cab with Rock roms installed that he bought new in the crate, he keeps that in his garage and I keep telling him I am going to come bye and steal it from him :D

At home I have a super clean A.P.B. a Slam masters we wired a PlayStation into that kicks major ass :buttrock: aswell as my SC-19 with an MV1-F in it , I play assorted pcb's on it aswell like Rastan ,Golden Tee ,Konami Open Championship golf and whatever other ones I dig out of storage now and then.

If you guys have cabs that you can sit and play I highly recommend old Movie Theatre seating if you can find it... I have a row of 3 seats that date back to 1924 from a since demolished local FOX theatre that are comfortable as hell and make long gaming sessions on my Neo a very relaxing experience :D
