My Arcade PC

Here's an image of my cabinet. Plays ROMS just like the Multi Neo Ultracab that Joe McCabe posted http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=002493

My Cabinet

Umm... that looks like a stock photo and I bet my life that's not a real screen shot on it.

Pichai · Oct 12, 2001

Wolf,

That's the advertised picture. Other, than that everything else looks the same. It runs smooth and plays great. But, like chimpster was saying, the monitor could be bigger.

what games are on it?
i wanna ultracade!
:B

Pichai · Oct 12, 2001

Rare,

The Arcade PC runs all ROMS. The Ultrcade runs only the ROMS that are sold in each game pack.

So is that one of those mame pcs nocked up to fit a cab??

I didn't think people here where too into roms.

Doughboy,

You can do what ever you want. Don't worry so much about other people. I used to be like you.

Hmmm - the cab does look a little "cheap" (although I bet the machine isn't) and the monitor looks really small. Nontheless it could be fun to play one of those, depends on how many games are on it?

And why are there 10 buttons (!!) on the Player2 side?

doughboy · Oct 12, 2001

I don't.

I've been running mame for years at home.

People here as a general rule don't mind ROMs at all (I don't). What we mind is lamers who try to SELL CDRs filled with ROMs for profit. When they had no part whatsoever with creating those games, ROM sellers (and CDR sellers of burned games) don't deserve to get a penny for them.

As for using ROMs to check games out, I have no problem at all with it. That's how I ended up buying the Gundhara pcb, played the ROM first and liked the game!! <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">

How many games are on it? This is just a PC loaded with as many ROMs as the HDD will hold, potentially thousands. Limited only by what games have been dumpted/emulated . . . and run under MAME, NeoRage, Callus, Raine, Shark, etc. <IMG SRC="smilies/eek2.gif" border="0">

two rows of three for capcom
bottom row of three plus the one to the lower left for mvs

the three in a triangle shape under the stick are for the trackball

That's not exactly what I meant -- I thought he bought the machine somewhere and hence wanted to know how many ROMS were on it originally. I guess my wording was unclear - sorry.

Those are the ones I meant - thx. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
I wasn't sure if maybe the two white buttons on the top were for the trackball.

Pichai · Oct 14, 2001

Oak,

You're correct the three buttons in a triangle shape under the stick are for the trackball. The two white ones on top are the player selectors.
