<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1080112151" target="_blank">evil MVS conversion</a>

Sloppy. Soooooooooooo sloppy...

that thing looks like it didn't seperate a birth

Bryan

LOL, yeah.


He should just rip the boards and monitors, sell them and throw that cab in front of a moving train.

Put it out of its misery...

Dare I say it... This thing looks f'n sweet! Seriously! At least my identity will be protected if I bid.

Hell that's one of the COOLESt conversions I've seen. It's better than some of those lame ones. At least each controller and side has ALL 4 buttons and a joystick. I've seen conversions that don't even have the proper button layout. I think that set up is nice.......If I had the room.....oh.....looks like someone spent some time on it eh?

this crushes that as the worst conversion ever

Hmm there are some yucky conversions there...

the good thing about this is that guy is the first arcade seller i see on ebay which is in my area.

Maybe i will finally get rid of the duty fees and stuff...

Hell, maybe i'll even get a cab for a cheap cheap price!

Both of those cabs would be a worthy addtion to my collection (I like the 2 monitor one, and the other would be good for converting as well )

why, why!!! God that makes me just want to cry!
The first one looks like a cyberball 2020 cab?
the other........ poor turtles have no more home. don't ya just love Konami side scrollers back in the day, Cow boys of new mesa or bucky O' hare. Minus crime fighters

LOL, we got some real jewels here. Looks like by promoting this auction Briggs you caused a conversion frenzy. I thought it only had one bid at $1 when I first looked at it, about an hour ago. Now it's up to $202 with four bids. Someone from here really wants this cab. LOL, you know, it could actually be a pretty cool conversion if the guy actually put some heart into it. That's just pathetic as it stands. You guys who are bidding on it, in theory all it would take is a simple wire between the two boards (easily done since the cabs are connected) and you should be able to enjoy all the four player bowling fun you want. If that's why your bidding on it then go for it, just place a paper bag over it when guests arrive. <img src="graemlins/tickled.gif" border="0" alt="[Tickled]" />


As for kickass conversions, this little pizza parlor place across the street from you used to have this really cool Neo cab. It looked like it was converted from one of those older TMNT four player sitdown cabs. It only came up to my waist (I'm 6'2") and it had the extra large control panel for four players (only two official-looking player setups were there though, and I didn't see any signs of the other two missing player controls). The funny thing is, this thing looked official. It had black sides and a black top, red around the monitor and the control panel looked just like an US Neo cab (red and white striped, across the entire giant control panel). It had the usual Neo Geo stickers on either side too. No marquees, of course (no room for them). I really wasn't into arcade cabs back then so I really didn't take much notice in it, but looking back that thing was pretty amazing. I had a lot of good times with it (Samurai Shodown and World Heroes were running) and one day it was just gone. I actually knew the owner, who had a heart attack and died while flipping a pizza about three months before the cab disappeared, so I never knew where it went. I don't go there anymore. <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

I think its kinda cool (the Siamese Twin cab, not the Turtle cab)

I'll be doing a conversion to a 2-monitor cab similar to that. I'm taking an old NBA Jam cabinet and just re-wiring it on the inside. I won't be changing any side-art or anything, I want to be able to change it BACK to an NBA Jam if I wanted.
Of course, since I won't be changing the control panel, a Neo-Geo can't exist in side. Such a shame. Unless I can make a whole new panel, and save the original. We shall see...

And that former TMNT cabinet, such a shame...

Briggs, you ought to put up a picture library of the worst MVS cabinet conversions on your site, just for amusement purposes. You could get plenty of pictures right off of eBay. I think I have a few, including one of an MVS cab that was converted to an Area 51 machine.

I thought about that, but I don't want to hurt anyones feelings, and as the above shows, one man's crap is another man's treasure. My site has conversions like: Stargate, DK Jr, and a nameless Midway game.

On the other hand, I am working on a conversion that will piss some people off, but considering I saved the cab from a burning pile I think it is better off. Stay tuned for that one...

Send me the pic of the Area 51 cab, somebody mentioned that one in chat last night.

I'm suprised no one has said this yet.

Link-cabinet!

Throw some league bowling carts in there, and pull up some stools!

Yeah, that just looks nasty. I guess you'd have to take it apart to ship it. Otherwise it would probably not survive the trip.

Dear GOD, that is UGLY! Like something from a nightmare.... or the city dump...

Oh please! That's not the worst conversion I've ever seen. The worst one I've seen was one converted from an old Punch-Out cab. In order to power the system up, you needed a second person to run the exercise bike attached to the power cables. What's worse was that it had only two buttons (and only one of them worked), not to mention the fact that the joystick would occasionally fall off. The worst part was that it could only play one game, and that was Eightman. Also, if the second person stopped peddling, the system would power down, thus erasing all data (including high scores) from the system. It was a real hack job, I tell you. I saw it in an arcade warehouse in Springfield, Virginia, about 5 years ago.

I think the siamese conversion is kinda cool. But could be a lot better. Out of curiosity though, why do you all hate it so much?

I don't think it is the worst I have seen, but it does look like it could be much better if some more work was done to it. I agree though, it would be kinda cool to have it for playing league bowling linked

Seriously,<a href="http://www.hardmvs.com/hideous.htm" target="_blank">this</a> is the worst conversion I've ever seen.

Wow, Frankenstein lives !!!
