Arcade 1Ups replica cabs thread

I think o1s1n has convinced me to go for the Mortal Kombat one as I could always make or order a street fighter CP afterwards if I really wanted 6 buttons per player.

Surely companies will be making control panels and mods for these when they take off?

The only place I could get away with one of these without the parents having a heart attic is in my converted attic, so large CRT cabs are out of the question.

These would be perfect for my needs. Still need to see what the internals consist of and if the buttons and joysticks need replacing.

Found it! :cool:

They look ok those machines. But my worry is the size, 4 feet tall and a 17" screen!
Is it to small to properly enjoy(that's what she said etc etc)?

And of course we dont know whats actually running them, which i dont care about as long as we can do some hacky hacks on them ourselves.

17" is a bit of a deal breaker for me, it's bloody tiny. I'd a 19" in my bartop, & even that barely sufficed. You can't really change out the screen as the bezel is made to fit. Unless someone starts producing replacement bezels, that can accommodate larger screens, I think I'll have to pass. That said, I think they're a fantastic looking product (going from the images), and will look great in any games room.

Inviere is the man to talk to about CRT emulation!

Actually if you're reading man, id love to know which filters/overlays youre using in Retroarch for CRT emulation.

I was able to download some directly but i found extra ones on pastebin that wouldnt load for some reason, and they looked awesome from screenshots.

Will take a look later on & see what I have set up. Actually, there's a new Retroarch out (1.7.1 I think) that has a new shader in it that I see good comments on (its called Meta CRT, I haven't used it yet myself).

Retro Games Party in the UK are making replicas of dedicated cabinets now.
You can get a custom one with your own joysticks, or changed to Jamma etc etc
Sounds like a good idea, might be pricey though.

Apparently the games will be run through a custom emulator.

any idea of a price point?

I wonder why they pulled them was going to get a streetfighter one

that's annoying!

you can get a feel for the size of them here

Interesting, wonder if gamestop will actually follow through or if they'll cancel and re-appear at some ridiculous price point. I can see the appeal for many, I'd be out though without a CRT...

I was in Symths head office and they have one of these in their reception. Looks like they got one in to evaluate it to see if they will stock it or not. As I had the young lad with me and it was powered off I didn't get to have a proper go at it, although my 3 year old poked at it enough!
My thoughts....it's low/small, as in very small and very low. It's almost like a bartop sitting on a fairly small base.
Height wise I'd say it came up to around my elbow.
Skerries earlier post/video link on size is important to note, the video below shows them and it's very easy to not notice but they are sitting on a high platform that makes them seem much higher.

Cab wise it does look well though, it was the Street fighter cab and art work wise it does look well. The stick/buttons are as you would expect, but each players stick/buttons seem very close together. So 2 adults playing will struggle with it.
It's does have a fairly poor looking on/off switch and another poor looking high/low volume switch that sits above the controls



I did get a picture of it with the young fellow in front of it, I'll try to post that later
