Well after 6 plus years of trying to make this happen with doing my best to get the right deals on buying cabs, hardware and cart's i finally got it all together and it has lead to this. My League Bowling 8 player Multi-link setup! Incredibly happy with the results. Best part is you can still cycle through all of your cart's when not playing League Bowling and when your ready you simply select the game on all four cabs and enter Multi-link on the cab that's assigned #1. This is gonna be soo much fun to play during my retro gaming meet ups I host! League Bowling is my favorite and it's definitely the regulars top favorite party competition game that come over for a blast from the past on my Neo cabs!






That's awesome, first time I have seen this in action !!!

Very happy with this setup. Glad it's finally completed! Already tracked down one Thrash Rally cart, can't wait to see how that one works out in Multi-link mode!

Awesome, would love to see that in action. I feel the game is a bit overlooked due to it's older graphics, but I think it's a lot of fun.

Are you planning on doing this for all 8p games?

It's definitely an underrated game due to its old style for sure, but that is what makes it such a gem IMO. It plays great and the fun factor is fantastic! I've got multiple rooms in my place with Arcade cabs and PVM setups so yes I'm totally gonna try and do this with Thrash Rally and Riding Hero.

Stoked! Someone on here was rad enough to offer me a few Thrash Rally cart's for my setups! Hopefully it all works out, looks like it's all coming along. Totally appreciate the love you guys!

looks awesome, love me some LB. Thrash Ralley would be cool with wheels.

Shouldn't there be a player 2 & 6 instead of 1 & 5 repleted?


edit: I think I answered my own question after watching the video...carry on

Absolutely fantastic setup. It's going to be a blast at your next meetup. I'm surprised no one has done this in the past honestly.

When we did this at an MN meetup it was one consolized MVS and two AES's. It kept crashing because the AES's don't have the address dips to handle more than two systems. We only got through one or two full six player games.

aw, that's cute...welcome to the nightmare, lol.

Edit: Nightmare as in the curse of getting into the hobby and the wonders of it. When it comes to cab ownership...most of the time it's a roll of the dice.

Very nice setup Neo G-Tron, I need to take you up on a previous post/offer to attend one of you get togethers. I'm probably just a few miles away!
