Just picked this up along with MvC2 Naomi board. through the door and to the right is a SF2CE cab you might have seen on the Team Spooky promo. Next on the list is an Astro City. I need to find the SSF4AE logo, even though it isnā€™t really Arcade Edition, it is technically on an arcade. So it makes sense.

Build Thread? I enjoy a good build thread =] or just pictures.

Show us pics!!

Heres a small update. The XSF cab I recently got was fixed up with a BRAND SPANKING NEW cp/joystick overlay and a new ST marquee. ST is now in itā€™s permanent resting place!

Wow thatā€™s a really nice setup you got there sir, and I like that you were able to track down an original marquee. Big blueā€™s are really nice and the addition of the Q-sound amp makes them sound so nice. Big blueā€™s will always have a place in my heart as the nicest american cab, but there too damn big and heavy.

The blues are indeed heavy and tall, but if there is a spot for them they are REALLY nice, and a centerpiece of an arcade.

the tallest one i have measures 6ā€™9"

Some more hate coming my way. Got this pretty good Neo-Geo Shell for $50 bucks. Itā€™s already wired. I need to mess with it a lil more to be sure the monitor is plugged up. If it works. I totally ripped the dude off. Sorry for the por Cell phone pics. Makes this #20 for me. 1 more to go.

Damn B-boy, thats sickā€¦

Iā€™m thinking of making a home made ā€œAero-Cityā€ esque sit down candy cab with my HSS-0130 as a CPā€¦ If I go that route, I might want to look into Fiberglassing everything on the cab and then having it all painted at a body shop, including the HSS Plastic Caseā€¦ I really want one and everything should cost under 600$ Iā€™m thinkingā€¦

I would use any standard 27" TV, some pc speakers (2.1) already have the consoles, and already have the CP (my HSS)ā€¦

Decisions decisionsā€¦

Finally!

I hope I posted these correctly.

ST for life.

Maybe Iā€™m an old man but ST in a Candy cab just looks so strange. All thought I would take it from you in a heart beat lol Nice cab now lets see ST in the big Blue American cab :wink:

how much is dat ST cab! :mad:

Oh I like me some big blues, but no space for it at my current place. However, jap layouts and whatnot seem to be the standard around here especially for ST. You can see that other American cab which is mvc2/random versus games. I wasnā€™t even looking for another cab, but then a friend of a friend told me he had one for sale and I jumped on it.

It was a good deal imo, 630. I didnā€™t have to ship it and picked it up in an suv.

Agreed.

Also alot of arcade owners would instead of always buying new machines as they came out order kits to convert older machines.
Which usually includes the board, marquee, top panel decal and side art decals, maybe a cardboard monitor bezel and additional push buttons.

Its kinda sad really to see a Perfectly good Donkey Kong Cab being tore up and redone as a Nintendo VS system (an over glorified NES) cab. Or seeing a good TMNT Cab being redone as a badly done SF II cab.

Some arcade owners canā€™t even be bothered with proper repainting or peeling off the old art decals first. So by the time many people gets their hands on a cab, there are many layers of paint, decals and filth from cigarette smoke.

!

Alright. My time to show off my GhettoCade.

SF2 HF in a Dynamo. Will be moving it tooo.

Donkey Kong! Need I say more. You know back when they showed MTV Cribs. How they would show off the Fridge. They would say, you ainā€™t balling if you donā€™t have Crystal. I feel like that when I say I have DK up in my Arcade. LOL. Next to it is Virtua Racing.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f324/apnegreelz/IMG_1455.jpg

Road Blaster. Needs some work. I think itā€™s just the fuse.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f324/apnegreelz/IMG_1456.jpg

Raiden II. Geez this game is still hard!

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f324/apnegreelz/IMG_1447.jpg

Neo Geo 4 slot as seen up above in the Thread. Has only View Point. Game is harder than Raiden II. Sick sound track. Next is a 2 slot Neo Geo with Art of Fighting. Next to that is Golden Axe. Still so much fun to play.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f324/apnegreelz/IMG_1450.jpg

My Egret 29 that needs ALOT of work. I got it Ghetto Rigged to atleast play a game. Itā€™s Jamma ready and I have a 1 slot Neo Geo board playing Metal Slug. Looking to buy a XXXX-1 cart for this. Got this FREE from my great friend, SF Legend JumpSuit Jesse. Thank my man.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f324/apnegreelz/IMG_1452.jpg

My Dual set up playing SC2.

Blitz 99. Needs alot of work. Hope to have this up and running come next Foot ball season.

I have 3 more in storage. Out of them, only 1 works. Itā€™s Steel Gunners. 1player only works. Looking to get that up and running too.

Well, hope you like and be nice. I got all these in bulk and weather has been shitty to take them out and start fixing them. Plus it AINā€™T cheap. Peace.

Holy Balls convert that Golden Tee back to a SF2CE NAO!!!

Also, ask and ye shall receive!

Nice!

Pablo did you get this from Gino? If you did i hate you, i already hate Airthrowā€¦Nice cab, should have been mine!

Nice setups guys, loving your donkey Kong. You guys are really making me want to get a candyā€¦

game of evil!!!

I just picked up my first cab - a Capcom Big Blue running Street Fighter III New Generation. Canā€™t believe this CPS3 is still alive (these people have had it 7 to 9 years with no battery swap). Iā€™ll post pics later.
