Would love to use a CRT monitor, but its too complicated to get one, get it serviced and then get it connected up to the PC and my graphics card, probably would need some connector/conversion board or something. Might do a similar sort of thing, but might put some foam in it and cover mine in some quality black vinyl instead of foil and get it cut to shape so it looks much nicer. Old one was literally a bit of cardboard covered in foil then sealed with a slab of glass. Its the only thing the cab has thats pretty standard. Getting the marquee printed is the easiest and cheapest part ironically enough. (might re-use it to build a plug in pi-stick) Should be simple enough to swap out. Got a new IPAC-2 coming since mines a really old model and its a bastard to program. Had to order in a new stick, new stick ball tops, and a load of Sanwa buttons. The buttons are all over the place), mapping onto the paper the dimensions of the new button layout (going with the newer 8 button Sega style with white 1p and 2p buttons in the middle which I plan to have illuminated) Then I had to make a paper mockup of the new control panel I plan to build, (the old one the original owner made is very much not flush to curves of the cabinet and looks damn ugly. So I had to measure the cabinet, make a mockup side art in Gimp to scale (and had to make a rough scale mock-up outline of cab as well so the art and logo aligns up properly) to eventually get it printed locally somewhere. (Not unless I wanted a big white gap on the side) What makes it worse is that it used to be a sitdown enduro racer cab which is both shorter and wider than a standard cabinet so I can't just buy a premade print. >tfw you head into revamping your converted MAME cab into a Marvel Vs Capcom styled cabinet pretty much blind. On the good side of things, this niche hobby is full of engineering nerds, and there are at least 2 separate groups of nerds who are releasing very high quality home pads to the market (plug and play into your PC stuff) I think the popular one was a $350 pricepoint and has 9 panels instead of 4 so you can also play 5-panel Pump It Up charts, or if you are into the fan custom stepfile stuff people will be making all 9-panel charts too. I'd say expect $600 for just arcade pads in decent condition that will still need work put into them if you play like higher than 8's. For official arcade pads, you need to internationally order certain parts, while other things like sensors may be cheaper to get stateside, and getting the pad to interface with something custom like a PC or console instead of a standard cab introduces new elements of headache if you don't know anything about it.īut the biggest kicker is actually that rhythm game players are now getting jobs and buying up cabinets and pads for themselves everything - the market is VERY difficult to find anything for sale, and if you do it will be in very bad shape or an unreasonable price or both. ![]() In terms of maintenance a nice home pad is much easier since you know exactly what went into its construction and will be needed for repair. ![]()
