If anyone is looking for a really great Pro Sony LCD monitor, there's been an LMD 232W on adverts for an age now. Currently going for €70.
https://www.adverts.ie/other-electronics/sony-professional-monitor-pvm-grade/14285745
It has BNC inputs. Exactly the same as the LMD I have connected to my PVM CRTs.
Comes with the stand too (I had to pay €50 or so alone for that)
Does the stand have any vertical adjustment and maybe allow it to be rotated?

Unfortunately not, hori only I'm afraid.
you can mount the panel on a standard rotating stand though.
Main draw to it is the BNC inputs. Means you can have all of your consoles displaying on a CRT and LCD simultaneously if you have that kind of a setup.
So your PS2/Dreamcast/Wii era consoles can be connected up to both and can play on an LCD if you want a bigger screen or can switch that off and just go with the CRT instead for lightgun games.
It's also a great way of showing sceptical (!) people the real time difference between CRTs and LCDs for 240p content. (the amount of times I get that 'but why??' look when people walk into my living room and see a big square CRT!)
On top of that, it also has SDI input boards so you can run modern consoles into it too.
Building a new gaming PC soon and am almost tempted to buy it and have a dual monitor setup with two of them.0 -

Did not grab me at all either. It feels like a game you play with friends that's on in the background while you chat. And the humour is just regurgitated internet means that have aged like a carton of strawberry milk left behind a school radiator.

now you have to tell us what were the mystery games?
Only one,
A good one to be fair.Super Street Fighter 2 the new challengers,working.
The cab is a fairly rough to be honest.
I wouldn't personally spend the time/money on it.
Monitor tube is good,chassis is dead but I'll get to it.Sticks and buttons need replacing.The best part of it was the bezel but someone has scraped away the top corner to display the "tax discs".
I have a plan for the SSF2,It involves a nice 29" monitor I got off a member here :cool:
Maybe a darksoft mod but time will tell.
If anyone wants it (not for flipping) let me know.0 -

Some still hold up. Turok is actually more fun than you would expect, especially in the recent PC ports from night dive. I'd avoid a PAL N64 due to the slower games and lack of moddability. They can be gotten so cheap from the US and Japan that it's more than worth it. Plenty of N64 games still hold up. Must get mine from the parents place and play some more Sin and Punishment.

Cool thanks for that, seems i just have to saw off two plastic bits to let pal games work. Looking forward to it!
PAL games might have issues on a NTSC machine. You are better off buying from the US or Japan. Ends up cheaper anyway.
Just be aware some PAL games are speed optimised meaning they might run too fast on NTSC or will play ok but the music will be sped up and sound awful. Unoptimised games should work ok but some will have glitches.
Just get NTSC. No real point owning PAL games and taking a chance. Places like Luke games website and eBay store are priced competitively and US games are cheaper than PAL usually. There's very few PAL exclusives and none really worth outside of maybe Rakuga Kids.

I sold the street fighter on here i think a while later. (regret)
I love getting a new cab and opening it up and seeing whats inside, the amount of old irish money I have at home at this stage. I have my space invaders cocktail setup working with old 10p pieces i got from cabs and just have a load of them in the coin drawer.
I sold all my pcbs off last year, and of course now looking at getting some of them back again, the prices are unreal. on ebay TMNT and sunsetriders are selling for 500 euro!! no chance ill be buying them back!
At first I was thinking that you were looking at advertised ebay prices, and I wouldn't have been too shocked.
But I just had a look myself, at sold prices, and yeah...turtles is regularly going for 400+
Ouch!
No way id be paying the average going rate now. I think the most I ever spent on a game was about 150, and that felt rough enough!
Ive said it before, these things *could* be future antiques. Not many left to begin with, unique, cant be copied (can be emulated, but that's very different), and already many decades old.
Or its a bubble waiting to burst. Either way, the main thing is enjoying a game of them 0 -
