Chilliwack, BC
I made my MAME cabinet rotate the LCD, its dead easy as they are so light. People do with CRTs as well but it takes a lot more effort. I spun mine with a 12v motor and two cut off switches.

Quoted from vid1900:They said at CES that they were "looking to address the spinner control feel"
Who knows when that will be.......
I haven't had a chance to play one personally but I see people online are modding the track ball to try and get better control out of it.
I was most interested in the trackball variation, some good deals out there on the 12 in 1, just such a bummer that both controls are reported to have issues.
Quoted from vid1900:Congratulations to you and your partner!
In the States, it's only been legal for 3 years, so it's still a big deal that we get excited about.
Well considering they are both Canucks and its been legal here for 14 years. I just thought it was a cool picture, I did wonder if posting it here was a good idea, this place can be weird.
Quoted from benheck:I'd like to apologize for making that divorce joke as it triggered politics in this topic.
Is that what passes for politics these days, it just seems like gibberish.

I didn't realize people find MAME so hard to set up. It was a little tedious for sure but it really depends on how many games you have. Once you purge all the clones and duplicates and only have games you want it's really simple. I think the biggest issue with MAME is the 1000's of games why do people put so many games on their cab. If you have 12000 games 98% of them are shit.

Quoted from girloveswaffles:*8 way. Most Konami games of that era were 4 / 8 way joysticks. A couple had 2 way sticks. Never heard of any game with a 16 way joystick.
Yeah it’s been a while since I played an actual time pilot. I thought it might have been like Sinistar.
Quoted from racer_x:I can't imagine trying to play Frogger with a Monroe stick from a Time Pilot or vice versa...
So Timepilot did have a specialized stick, I remember it had unique control. It did not seem like a standard 8 way. It may not have been analog but it swiveled like one.

Quoted from Chosen_S:Went to Walmart today, the price tag was $449 for Star Wars, I walked away from it and the electronics manager told me to hold on a minute that they were marking prices down. The machine got marked down to $225, I said loader up!
Damn thats a score I just searched on line and none are listed for Walmart.com.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:Expect to see dragons lair this year, next year at the latest.
A1U seems to follow their customers wishes and that one of the most wanted.
They would have to remaster all the content, I run it via Daphne and it really does not look good on an a modern screen. Those old CRTs really hid a lot. I guess they could just keep it original but I think people would be super disappointed.
Quoted from iloveplywood:I haven't played it in a long time, but didn't they have a version of this for the ipad that looked pretty decent? I think they've made a million versions of Dragon's lair over the years so hopefully getting it to look decent on a LCD won't be too hard.
Yeah that's a good point if it looks good on an iPad it might be ok. I have a 21" 1600x1200 in my cab and its pretty ugly. What size and resolution are the 1up screens, they are pretty small aren't they?
I checked and the 1up screens are only 17" so it would probably be fine. I know the first time I played it on my cab I was very surprised how bad it looked. I just remember it being the most amazing game I had ever seen. I think it would be bigger than Star Wars especially if they can keep the price down.

The bench is cool but I didn't realize it's just the standard cab with piece that fits on to it, I wonder if they will do sit downs for others.

Sit down is pretty cool, I never thought much of Outrun. All the Sprint, Pole Position, Turbo, that is where the nostalgia is for me. Hard Driven and Race Driven I would jump on in a heartbeat they raised the bar. Also I would jump on the driving shooter, Spy Hunter and Road Blaster. Out Run though was always just kinda meh.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Outrun was pretty weak from what I remember. They should have done the 4 player off road. Much better game.
I was considering Off Road as part of the Sprint series but realize I have no idea if they were actually related. I was just thinking of all the mutli wheel racers. That is the racing combo they need to do.

Quoted from JPloof:Super excited for the Dragon's Lair cab, will look great next to the Neo Geo MVSX that's on the way. In case no one else realized, they also advised the Dragon's Lair cab is full sized, not the standard 3/4 replica!
Are you sure it looks like its still on the standard riser?
