Stealing images from UKVAC

MOD: Can you resize please?

MrVestek · 15-10-2019 2:53pm

That last Outrun one doesn't look too bad to me to be honest.

It's a nice compromise between traditional controls and driving games... and that's a decent steering wheel to boot!

Some very tidy work and collection of 6 games

'So, you are bidding on a one of a kind DIY arcade-like machine, which I built in 5 months in my spare time using a headboard for a bed I acquired. I built around it, attached 2 arcade joysticks, stencilled, painted and am using a monitor inside a custom casing I built. It's kinda modular, I.e. the boards at the bottom, you slot in at the bottom to create the full assembly, but can be removed when you need to put it in a van for collection (transit van is highly recommended, or a van with good head clearance). The boards used at the bottom are MDF, cut to size, varnished and painted to keep the colour theme I had going.'

deadl0ck · 26-10-2019 12:11am

Note: The underside shows my construction limitations - There are protruding screws (and bolts behind the housing for the monitor). I am making you aware, because I will not take responsibility for any injury caused by misuse or hyperactive children . Also made mainly from wood so be aware that as with any wood based stuff, it can set on fire if you're careless with matches and cigarettes. Again, I cannot take responsibility for this. By buying this item, you have agreed to do so at your own risk of these typical dangers (again, I mention this because it's a DIY project I assembled a year ago so is not a retail item, but has been made with some off the shelf parts).

LOL - you have been warned

Well **** me sideways,
Bravo sir, bravo

That has to be a wind up?

‘Selling because I want to make space for my girlfriend when we do decide to move in together. Got to plan for the future you see. This would make a great discussion piece in any house and ideal for the retrogeek’ lol

Jack burton · 26-10-2019 5:36pm

No way is that real, has to be someone taking the piss

26-10-2019 6:34pm

Might be a cheap pi and joysticks buttons for someone tell him to burn the rest

o1s1n · 26-10-2019 8:47pm

Can you reassemble it into a bed for when all the ladies come over?

CiDeRmAn · 27-10-2019 8:47am

Just behind it, against the door, are the pieces for mounting the head board back where it belongs, just legendary.
I thought too, for a moment, that the screen might rotate, but I think not.

Oh my lord.

It's from 2001, so you can only hope that it has since caught fire and burned down his whole workshop.

I almost wouldn't believe it other than the fact that the second picture still has a Pony IV plastic bezel around the screen.

KeRbDoG · 23-11-2019 2:38pm

The irony of the message on the screen in the 'MAME'd photo

Ronan|Raven · 23-11-2019 10:38pm

It cannot be real.. can it?!
You could rent the control panel out as a bedroom in Dublin these days.

What he said about the original candy cab

"The cabinet itself is ugly as heck however inside it were a number of the goodies I needed to make my cabinet real."

According to a copy of the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy that fell through a time warp from 100 years from now, he was first to the wall when the revolution came.

I think you'd have to pay someone to take that off your hands.

Quite the button layout!

o1s1n · 22-01-2020 9:56am

I think I'd rather burn my house down than own that.

Needs more buttons. I'm a member of the MAME Arcade Cabinet Builders page on Facebook.
The crimes commited to some nice cabinets on that page would make a man or woman cry. Little 18" wide cabs with a 20 player control panel ****ed onto the front.

Quite like the repurposed Gin bottle lamp.

Must have polished the whole thing off while designing that control panel.

BGOllie · 25-01-2020 1:43am

jesus :O ... and to think they called it an upgrade

Not far off having enough for a qwerty there...

Kidchameleon · 02-05-2020 12:09pm

Not exactly a MAME but great nonetheless...

Tom Mann Centuria · 07-05-2020 7:47am

Maybe I'm being harsh, the comments on the reddit are very complementary. Just looks like a well crafted mess of an unusable table to me.

o1s1n · 07-05-2020 10:12am

What in the jaysus.

8 buttons each for when you want to play some Street Fighter 2 in vertical mode

CiDeRmAn · 07-05-2020 12:50pm

With all that woodworking skill he/she should have made the monitor rotatable....
Ah well

To be fair, it might be neat for a child's room

To be unfair, it's listed as "arcade"

Kidchameleon · 08-05-2020 6:57pm

Scots home early!

Jack burton · 17-05-2020 1:18pm

One from the Facebook

o1s1n · 17-05-2020 1:34pm

Haha that's ****ing mental, I love it, vertical one in the background too!

CiDeRmAn · 17-05-2020 1:42pm

In fairness, it will probably work grand, depending on the hardware driving it...
I mean, it's an official control panel and a day-cent display...
If they could throw some panels around it, to hide it's feet of clay, it mightn't be too bad!

Jack burton · 17-05-2020 6:15pm

Oh yeah like the bones off it are solid. Good display too, just loving how ****ing blunt it is haha
