Quoted from GLSP3022:As far as the marquee lighting....here's my new idea. Correct me if I'm wrong. There are 4 solder pads on the board for a usb hook up correct?
2 of these pads should supply 5v. Could I power 2 of the comet 6.3v led strips from this 5v source? Shouldn't be terribly bright.
are the marquees see thru are are they just stickers on wood?
Damn, my Walmarts don't have the sfii in stock and the online shows it sold out for online order. Oh well
Quoted from pinmister:I was just at Walmart and looked at one of these 1Up Arcades. What a cheap POS. I noticed wear all around the buttons, so I went up to check it out. I digged my finger nail into top panel and it literally scrapped away paint. Is it even worth $200? I don't think so, don't be a cheap ass-just save up and buy a real arcade like CGC Ultimate Arcade-imo
they are definitely a toy, not meant for pin collectors as a staple of the home arcade. I have a capcom big blue for all my fighting game needs. i wanted one to mod for my 6 and 4 year old nephews, but the street fighter ii is the only one with a good control panel for a multigame and appears sold out everywhere.
the control panel overlays are trashed on the displays but they are sending out a plastic overlay to protect em for free for anyone who requests one via their website.
Quoted from pinmister:Hindsight- I wonder how many returns, etc. they could have prevented by simply adding a plastic overlay protector. People's perception when they see the paint coming right off after a few plays-This game is a POS-Im taking it back! I thought about one for my kids room but said na I will stick with console games for his room for now. By the way I still need to come up and see you for helping mod my consoles.
yeah, agree that it is a pretty bad indication of quality.
im guessing people who buy them and dont know how to upgrade the stock joystick and buttons are gonna be pretty bummed when they crap out half way thru January and their return date is probably expired.
if you are ever up north let me know and we can play some pin!
well aint that some shit. the 199 sale is over, now they are 249 and sfii is in stock online again.
hmmm. not fishy at all. guess they had x amount to sell at 199 and once they met that number they marked them sold out...

Quoted from Malenko:MK3 instead of UMK3? odd choice.
that would be a big miss in my book
Quoted from Aurich:Make a Bubble Bobble cab and I'm buying for my wife.

those are pretty cool but for how much he probably spent in time and money to do that he shoulda just got a real big blue 
Quoted from brad808:No need to be sorry, I'm not arguing for or against the mini 1up arcades. They aren't for nerd like me and I'm ok with that. Again just correcting something said that was wrong. I made my decisions to not compromise a long time ago so I have all types of cab LCD CRT horz vert don't matter I play on device which will best suit each game. I'll give you clue which one I like more . [quoted image]
ahhhh i want those candy cabs
Quoted from Aurich:My garage last night: [quoted image]
I love candies, but mostly I like games that get played. Cabs that sit there unused are sad. MAME, LCD, CRT, whatever, if people enjoy them I’m all for it. Snobbery is pointless.
wish i lived on the coast! they never come up for sale in the middle of the country. just not worth shipping them at this point, maybe someday.
