    Yeah, thats what I'd like. But I'm not great with PSU stuff really. I know it needs 30A on the 5v rail, and 12v I think for the sound. But I'd rather have someone with more experience than me set on up. Don't want to completely knacker the thing :)

    Have a read of this it might help

    They're a gorgeous little 19 inch cabinet once they've been done up.

    P1040638.jpg

    €2300 for a knackared one though has to be taking the piss. That's €900 more than I paid for my 25 inch Pony which came freshly painted and minty.

    You'd need a bucket of filler and a respray facility on hand to get the cab back to spec
    So, take that 2300 and add another 600 to it... 2900 for a candy cab!!!

    I just don't like candy cabs in general. I find them soulless.
    can't beat a nice wood-grained, spider-filled, marquee-adorned piece of kit.

    as an aside, when did they come to the west first ? I just don't remember them being around when I was a kid or teen .
    Is it just a byproduct of the everything-japan-is-awesome craze that seems to be dominating and re-writing the history of video games in europe these days ?

    I'd never played them here in Ireland as a kid, it was all woodies and the like. But when I started going to Japan around 2002/2003 I first experienced them and thought they were awesome. I then forgot about them, wanted an arcade machine years later and this forum reminded me about them :)

    I think they both have their place, but i do prefer a Candy to a Woodie these days.

    I got the Classic upright in first (waahey!)
    The candy came later.
    If I'm to be honest, the upright has far more value in terms of nostalgia but the candy screen... It's just gorgeous!

    I remember playing the royal rumble naomi game somewhere in donegal in the early 2000s, candy and all.

    Candy cabs are amazing pieces of kit. There's such a rich history to their design and manufacture.

    It's very difficult to go back to small monitor chipboard generic western wood cabs when you've tinkered around with full metal Japanese cabs. They're just superior in every way in my opinion.

    And no, it's not 'everything from Japan is cool', they're just better made with much nicer monitors :pac:

    Just to go one further, there's an amazing element with candy cabs where they're actually made to order and branded by the games manufacturers of the Japanese games youre playing.

    I find it more enjoyable to play an snk game on a Japanese snk cabinet rather than a wooden electrocoin westernised version for our market.

    It's almost like playing a console game on an original console versus a playing it on a clone.

    There's definitely a nostalgia with woods cabs here but if you're interested in original hardware it's just so much more enjoyable to have exactly what Sega/capcom etc intended.

    To add to this , I've always hated some of the **** wooden cabs we had ,most are ones that where crapily converted from poker machines (mozies conversions are example of what should be done )or the likes or not really fit for purpose or maybe my dislike came because some of the wood grains remind of the crap decor we had at home. lol
    We had a good selection of cabs here in limerick, outside of the dedicated ones ,in the savoy they had a good selection of silverline and electrocoin cabs with sf and football champ in the electrocoin duets :aw: The Vic had better again (ive never found reference to what the cabs where and didnt pay enough of attention at the time ,too busy spending my money
    These where plain red cabs square with seats and 25" monitors ,all universals nice and uniform and really good for a gaming session but quiet big iirc . stix and superbowl place i wont comment on ! kilkee was even worse again for cabs

    Im with o1s1n here ,candys do the universal thing better than nearly all other cabinets and believe me the nanao screen are so much nicer than any hantarex' /wg.

    some good old dedicated are hard beat in some forms though. anyway we'll still get asked the same questions no matter what it is and its always the same with any cab ive gotten "what game does it play ":pac:

    Nice new hat!
    Pimoroni are selling a new Picade hat, turning a vanilla RP3 into an arcade machine.

    https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/new-products/products/picade-hat

    It has inputs for a single stick and 10 buttons, not including a soft power button.
    It also includes a handy mono audio out jack too.

    They also have a kit with everything you need to get started, I wonder if this will drive down the prices of Bartops everywhere?

    That's a very neat little board actually, and not a bad price on it. The ipac/jpac work out of the box on the Pi, but not at this price :)
