:beer

I have a full working one with a mame system. never thought about how much I would ask for it. Its in a Tekken 3 box

shame ur in Melb

Not sure if you've heard but there's a new thing called Playstation and Xbox thats thought to be quite good Coz!hehehe

Lol!

its not the same!!!!

ive got a mame emulator which i play space invaders ,frogger, moon cresta and some other games with and theres plenty more games you can download if you want it i have it in a zipped file

myself just recently became the owner or a nice 80's missile attack cocktail, gettin the main board restored, etc.. now up to speed with all this mame, jamma stuff, collected 1000's of roms, next step build a mame cocktail box, top fun I tell ya....

nah im looking for a Street Fighter machine emulators etc isnt the same....

dude you can get plenty of cabinet plans off the net from the US and UK. Just get a wood shop to cut em or do it yerself. You can get all the console bits too, cabinet mouldings etc, together with artwork. Go Mame. Completed mame cabinets fetch more than they cost.

Unless you want to 'collect' then it's a different story, as really good ones are hard to find from Bally etc., the clones are pretty much worthless. I'd save yourself the hassle of dealing with the PCBs. A Pent 3 is more than enough.

I've got a Dragon's Lair running on Daphne emulation.

Warby can make you the light boxes!

Mame rulez

i know of a street fighter for sale.... pm your way.

Costa,
check out these sites. Plenty of info on how to do it yourself. I can lend a hand over Christmas. Seriously, emulation is the way to go. Why limit yourself to one game. I have all the classics and Mame running on an XBOX, Mac and PC, so just choose your platform. Get yourself a keyboard encoder from Ultimarc and wire up the buttons, its that easy.

Yup as the chaps say use MAME, i have all the street fighter roms which run on it.

To be clear mame emulates the arace game machine and runs the actual rom's, so the game is 100% correct.

I use this the x-arcade joystick, its spot on heavy and real good

If you want the street fighter roms and a mame prog to run them with give me a U2U and i will sort you out. No install just unzip and click

I ran MAME yesterday on my PC an for some reason it didnt feel real yeah the sound and the graphics is there but when i was playing it the background scenery looked faded and not bright just like an arcade machine

Not sure if this was because i was playing it on a LCD but its not the same i want that Arcade machine feel!

Im researching to make one too.

I have the idea to make the controller boxes removable so you can sit opposite like a tabletop and then remove the back one to have both on the same side to play fighters.

I LOVE gauntlet but am still learning of the emulators and roms.

Maybe we should have an AVD game makers guild!

Does anyone know of the MAME emulator that runs from the cd ie boot computer from cd, cycle through the games with the joystick and then select/

I do not mean to hijack xxx I am trying to help on the right track. I have plans in the post and am a pretty dab chippie so the 'guild' could benifit us all and have AVDers return to the day in the chippie gasping for another 20c

kkk

no probs KKK.

We have a bit of a Guru in our midst 1964_Notch (wayne) spoke to him for 2 hours about MAME and Arcade machines he knows his stuff!

if you have any questions send him a u2u i will be meeting him this arvo to talk arcade machines and show me his goodies!

He thinks i should make one but I think i will settle for a ready made cabinet!

Valkarie is about to die!:P

Cheers xxx, could you give him a heads up that I too am keen to chat?

kkk

if you don't have room for a cabinet ... how about running Mame on a mini-tix board. You can get that to boot from a CD. Check out http://www.mini-itx.com/store/  for the hardware...then with a little imagination and a toy VW you could make something like this ...

hey I like what I'm hearing! A few years ago I made a arcade controller for my xbox.
It's got the namco/jap domestic buttons/stick which I imported from a company in Japan. I use
it for SF2/Turbo/SSF2/CVSNK2 (my fave) and SF3.

I'd love an original Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 2 machine, but there is nothing like finding a SF2 machine at a fish/chip shop etc.. nowadays.
Last time I was there, they still had a SF2 at Melbourne International Airport! Very hard to do dragon punches though, bad aussie buttons or something.

I found a machine!!!!!

Thanks to Wayne for his help and advise as well!
