The Official Post your Arcade Cabinet Thread!

Awesome get! Do you get a different vibe when playing on the versus cab against other players compared to a single cab?

I always wondered how those ā€œWINNERā€ lights activate, is there some auxiliary chip programmed to communicate with the CPS2?

Been wondering about that too…All I can find was a connector labelled ā€œbillboardā€ that seems to go nowhere.

head to head is the ideal way to play imo. sitting next to your opponent sucks on a candy cab…especially if one guy is a heavy set dude. I’m clueless as to the winner section of the cab. its all hooked up but doesn’t do anything. i presume it requires a certain type of game to work.

Playing someone on a single candy cab isn’t too bad…Im used to playing against people on the American woodies which are not as wide as candies back in the day. I think that’s one of the downfalls of head2head…You kind of lose that presence, you cant see the frustration, cockyness, its just less personal, pretty much like online gaming but w/ no lag…Ideally i like my setup side to side…You can actually see your opponent & the body language they are showing…

That being said, i played the Versus City cab at Battle of Seattle…Freaken awesome cab w/ nice picture. I kind of regret not buying the cab, if only they made it an easier way to split them…

yeah n online gaming u cant role play as a black dude LO0l

More ghetto Xbox cab time (this one came gutted/no monitor so no foul)!

Finally finally finally found a 20" CRT with component input. The last one I bought was stuck on s-video and could not switch to component. I actually took it back to the pawn shop. Hah! Also got in new red/white Eurosticks this week which I used. I think they look kinda cool.

I love you component CRT. Have my babies.

Got the cab on Saturday, my first! Pretty excited about it.

Was the bezel and speaker area repainted or something? Looks pretty clean either way judging from the pic.

Yeah, the guy I bought it from had repainted it recently, I guess he included the bezel and speaker grills with it. I’m not a huge fan of the all white, but it’e in great condition and the price was good so I can’t complain too much.

Hey guy’s i’m looking for a sega new net city cabinet if anyone know’s some one selling it for a good price let a brother know please. Don’t care about parts really want a shell so please keep an eye out. Thank’s

I am looking for a trinitron. Is it that hard or do I have to keep going to pawn shops and thrift stores to find them?

Craigslist. I’ve found 3 different ones over the years including my current Trin (24") for 20$

yeah should be easy enough to find 2nd hand, people basically give them away, my 29’ flat with component/svid with cabinet and sub thing on top was about $15

if anyones wondering what happened with that video a few posts up i took it down cos it was so blurry, i made another one but i ended up changing around shit anyway, heres what it looks like now…

what’s special about the trinitrons?

I think they are talking about the Sony PVM, they are professional CRT tvs that make old school games look so amazing…There was one here locally & was selling for $75…I should have snatched it for my SuperGun…

Anyway, got one more new edition rcaido family…

New Net City - 31k looks so orgy-ous Need a 2 player control panel now & ill be set

Also got marquees for my Blast City & Naomi Uni
