Has anyone seen this? I ignored it for about a year but finally used it yesterday and am seriously impressed. Where can these be bought and how exactly do they work.

Casino is always booming on the weekends and evenings. And most these guys playing all the SNK and Capcom cabinets have never owned neo geo's.

The best ones are PC/Jamma hybrids, which involve a jamma harness, standard jamma controls.....interfaced with a PC via a "J-Pac".

People are constantly on the build and can provide info at <a href="http://www.arcadeathome.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=7" target="_blank">Arcade@Home·Forums > Building Cabinets & Control Panels</a>

There is also a mame machine at the play2win arcade on oxford st with lots of neo games on,surely these things are illegal as they are playing roms..

I thought that the games they have on them are licenced from the original makers. the ones with the early capcom games on them definatly ARE as i remember an artical about them with the people who made them

Correct.

Hanaho used to, and I think they still do, ship a CD with licensed Capcom roms together with their controllers and MAME cabs.


Using a MAME cab for these purposes whatever legitimacy of the roms is against the MAME guidelines and illegal, however.

thanks for the info. The "mame" machine at casino, also features nice graphics pages while the game is momentarily loading and a nice select screen where a screen of the game pops up when U scroll on the game.
It did feature early capcom titles and stuff like kung fu master and early neo geo titles.
