The Official Post your Arcade Cabinet Thread!

i gotta rate all of you for your set ups, you guys are keeping the 2d fighters alive !!!

@ evanwingzero, leave it as it is, if it aint broke, dont fix it, btw in the background on the shelf, starting from the bottom and going up i can make out a te rnd 1 stick, then next up a mvc te stick, whats above that?? is it a hrap v3 sa (though it looks 6 button)?? and above that is it the nubytech sf2ac stick (looks kinda big)?? with a red dual shock resitn on it??? or is it a custom?

oh, and lovin the hss-0136ā€¦

Top is a Modded SF Anniversary Stick, Next is a Modded T5 - Set up for PS2 now. Then MVC2 TE, then Custom TE for PS3. Going to be selling a bunch of sticks soonā€¦

Haha i feel the same way, once i got my candy cab, i kinda want to get rid of my sticks! Maybe just keep one for each system

Tsk, Wish i had money for a ps2 stick ;D if you were sellin one

Good shit fellas but one question has anyone but the classic SF like ST,HF,ALPHA 2-3,3RD Strike,CVS2 inside the Vewlix Cabinets how do they run/look on the vewlix flat screens??? Need to know because Iā€™m about the buy me a vewlix and a CSPIII board

I am using a 26" KDS LCD monitor but Havenā€™t tried anything other than my PS3 and 360 on it yet. I will eventually add a MAME setup, but right now I couldnā€™t tell you how it runs. Iā€™d suggest running mame on an LCD Computer monitor before making your decision.

old games like alpha/cvs2/st should lag on lcd monitors. we are talking unplayable lag.

easiest way you can play those games is a jtagged xbox+finalburn emulator on the xbox running native resolution. this can be done with a computer too but I prefer xbox. all games on finalburnnext emulator runs perfect and I dont notice any lag on my 28" hann-g lcd(games look amazing with scanlines filterā€¦alpha2 for days sirs!)

too bad there is no fucking cvs2 emulator on xbox360 yet.

I understand that but all iā€™m doing is getting the CPSII/III board and playing it on the Vewlix I mean the look and play good on my 50"1080P Plasma but i want to know will it be the same on a Vewlix Flat Screen Monitor

The only real way to tell if the games will run lagless is to run them at their native resolution, which for most CPS2/3 games will be 224p. Run your emulators on that LCD again with that setting and tell us how bad weā€™re talking here.

If you manage to get at least 480p perfectly fine, then youā€™ll have to get those games for xbox.

Donā€™t forget that even if you wanted to buy a Vewlix to run jamma games it wonā€™t do it out the box. You have to spend another 590 for a Vewlix Jamma kit from taito. Hereā€™s the link.
Taito Vewlix Jamma Kit

For the price of 590, depending on area, you can get yourself a nice candy cabinet.

So what exactly are we looking at plugging in here? Just video or what?

fbanext emulator run games at native 1080p. I dont really notice any lag at all. there is no option to run games at their own resolution. the emulator itself was build to run at native 1080p. its just like sf4. was designed to be lag free on high resolution monitors.

like I said this is still better/cheaper than buying that jamma converter and all the boards. only games youā€™d miss out on are naomi games because there is no emu for xbox360 yet.

Heā€™s talking about SFIII which on the CPSIII is 224p, not 1080. Without testing that setting, weā€™re doing a good job of leaving him hanging here.

shubaccaā€™s cab

My preciousā€¦

When I got it, it was like this. There was caramel or dried soda in itā€¦ It was nasty.

Got a custom CP, and CP overlay to allow for the LS32ā€™s to mount. They just donā€™t make them for Blasts anymore (or maybe never did). Sanwa OBSF buttons.

I use it as a light source in the room. Itā€™s subtle from where I sit and work but it provides for some goddamned comforting ambience:

Next summer Iā€™m gonna get it repainted and get a net top in there to emulate some shmups.

Absolutely sick looking cabinet man.

SOOO Jealous of that Blast City. Awesome Cab manā€¦
