Copying and pasting my description from Craigslist. I'm located in Columbia, SC.
Hi, this is a custom 4 player arcade pedestal created by www.dreamhomearcades.com as well as a 55" HDTV and the custom border I designed for the TV that I had created by a local sign shop and TONS MORE!
I had this made for our game room, but it doesn't get as much play as I had hoped it would and I could use the money elsewhere. It has a computer built inside of it and is running Windows 7 (on a Samsung SSD) with a "Forever-Updates License" of Launchbox. It also comes with a 3TB hard drive to hold all the games (it's not full, so there's plenty of room to grow) as well as the original hard drive that was sent with the machine (I didn't use it as their setup was absolute garbage and running Windows XP) It's on casters, so you can roll it around wherever you want or adjust the distance from the TV on the fly.
The top controls are all wired into an IPAC4 to send keyboard commands whenever buttons are pressed or the joysticks are moved.
It has built in speakers with a subwoofer inside and includes connections for USB controllers (included) and gamecube controllers (included). It also comes with a DolphinBar, so you can even play a good chunk of Wii games (controllers included). Also included is a steering wheel and pedals that can clamp onto the front of the control panel and a USB fighter pilot joystick (for things like TRON, etc.)
I'm also including a 600watt PC power supply in the event you should need it (bumping up the graphics card, etc.) I had plans to upgrade it, but it never happened.
This thing can play just about any game you can think of from back in the day and even some not so old ones! - Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameBoy, Sega Genesis, Sega GameGear, PSP, GameCube, Wii, and even PC games! There's TONS of games already on this thing that I have working just fine.
Most of these are played using the controllers, but it can also play almost all of those old school arcade games you remember - Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, DigDug, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and HUNDREDS more! I didn't have the patience to get all these old school arcade favorites configured with the controls and everything.
**********************************************************************************
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A PROJECT MACHINE. THE HARDWARE IS ALL PRETTY MUCH IN PLACE, AND A GOOD CHUNK OF THE SOFTWARE IS CONFIGURED, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO SPEND A GOOD BIT OF TIME GETTING THIS THING WORKING WITH MAME AND OTHER EMULATORS. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WORKED ON IT, SO THE EMULATORS AND LAUNCHBOX PROBABLY NEED TO BE UPDATED.
DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST GET IT AND START PLAYING EVERY SINGLE THING LISTED ABOVE.
**********************************************************************************
If you're up for the challenge of getting everything configured, you'll be rewarded with an amazing arcade cabinet and an AWESOME addition to a game room. These don't come around every day...like I said, I had this custom-built. I even did the individual Ninja Turtle artwork on the control panel above each player's controls and had them add it to the machine.
These cost around $3500-3800 from dreamhomearcades.com to have them make it and ship it. They are truly awesome cabinet makers, but their software really sucked. This is truly a STEAL and it even comes with a 55" HDTV!!!
Cash and Carry! I can't deliver, so bring a truck or something big enough to take everything. The top can technically separate from the base, but I'll let you decide if you want to do that to move it.
Let me know if you are interested or would like to see any other pictures.
This machine is more suited for a home game room, not a business - just something to keep in mind.
PM me! Let's talk! I'll also consider trades!
