That control pad is fucked.

Daisuke Jigen · May 11, 2003

It's so shitty, but so clean at the same time.

Indeed. It is a well polished turd.

BryLmoo · May 11, 2003

I guess whoever did the conversion had good intentions...but he sure as hell fucked up with that control layout...

shame

I think the funniest part is that it's such a nice cab sans the control panel, most screwy/ugly conversions are in ugly cabs. This cab looks great, but boy who the hell is gonna to play their bud without some complaints for being 1st player.

Greyrs91 · May 11, 2003

My fried has an cabinet with a control panel similar to that one. The only differnces are that the left stick is all the way on the left, and the p1 and p2 start buttons are all the way to the right next to the p2 A,B,C,D buttons. Is this a non-converted cab (my friends)?

chris1 · May 11, 2003

tickled I was ready to post a pic of this cab..

I could pick this up..it's not that far from me...but nah... loco

MY EYES THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!!!!!

This is pretty common layout in china except the left joy stick. Sometime it could be:

AC
BD

Different city has different layout.

Thats plain evil. Stop the pain Briggs, I cant take any more multi_co

Perhaps this is a good layout for a left handed player .

bokmeow · May 12, 2003

Or a guy who wants to play King of Fighters against himself. hands on the joysticks, toes on the buttons.

Setsuna1982 · May 12, 2003

what is the use of the switch in the middle-front of the cab? (between the start buttons)

After some investigation I've discovered where the pics came from...

Funny pic... but I've always felt that video game controls are left-centric to begin with. The types of stick movements required by the left hand are way more difficult than the button pressing required by the right.

It's a lock with a key in it.

TheGornWay · May 12, 2003

Suddenly my converted cab doesnt look so bad

JC10001 · May 13, 2003

I'm a left handed player and that setup would suck for me too. Left handed people are forced to conform to right handed norms. Because of this, left handed people are used to doing many things right handed.

Fygee · May 13, 2003

Those decals look like they were made on a 1985 edition of Printshop for the Macintosh.

MarrymeMai · May 13, 2003

Very ghetto, indeed. I'll wear my Members Only jacket while playing it.

He's a real winner :rolleyes:

I dealt with him back in 91' or 92'
I walked away happy only to find out that he's a used car salesman selling arcade games

I have learned to appreciate that experience which has never and will never be duplicated.
All Arcade novices need to educate themselves before they make that BIG PURCHASE
You have to be concerned about the exterior of the machine just as much as the interior. An arcade machine is a piece of furniture and you have to say to yourself,"Am I going to be completely satisfied with this cab sitting in my home? Will this cab not only hold some sorta sentimental value as well as $$ value."
Back in the day,arcade info was like "secret scrolls",you either learned through a good person in the business or the hard way of trial and error. I actually met a col guy @ a place by the name of MONDIAL who sold me some cheap jamma boards and offered to make me a MULTI cabinet.He suggested that I use a Nintendo cab because it was best to do this in.I never did take him up on that offer because I had my hands full with a few junk cabs and no room

I lost contact with too.
