Item description

Looking for a new home for my Mame cabinet. I've owned it since 2003, and it's seen very light use since then. It spent many years in storage when I was in a small apartment, and has been in my climate controlled basement since 2014. I've gotten to the point where the pins have taken over and she really needs to go a to home where space is ample and somebody will actually play it!

This is a sit down style Japanese Neo Geo cabinet. The original CRT monitor is in fantastic shape, no geometry weirdness I can see... the whites do seem to be a bit cool/blue-ish but I presume that's a simple fix for somebody. I've always been too scared of getting shocked so have never messed with it!

The PC is connected to the Jamma harness via a JPAC card and Arcade VGA, which means everything has been programmed to run at the proper resolution and frequency so it's fairly true to the feel of the originals. Computer boots right up to the front end which is super simple to navigate, arcade games only at the moment. BIOS shoots a quick warning when it boots up because time and date are not set, the battery in the motherboard should be replaced if it bugs you but it doesn't affect anything.

All the controls work great, I have a button set to add credits but it also has a functional coin slot that you can use if dropping quarters is your thing :)

Plastics around the bezel and top are slightly yellowed, could be spruced up by removing them and re-painting... some scuffs around the sides of the cab as well. She's not going to win any beauty contests in present shape but is functional where it counts, no weird smells, etc... definitely not a beater... would clean up nicely but I've always just kinda played it and not worried about it.

If you look at the inside of the cabinet you'll see some dirt on the right floor and back, as well as the JPAC card itself. My storage space flooded in 2007 (just a lot of rain, no sewage) and that shows how high the water went. I had the computer out at the time and luckily it stopped short of any electronics. I removed and aired it out the same day, no mold or rust... and found a new storage space for it after that. probably should have cleaned it but again, it always worked fine so I left it. The JPAC card got covered as well but has always worked 100%, so didn't want to risk damaging it by washing.

This does not have any hardware to hook up Neo Geo carts, so this is probably best for somebody that just wants a cheap fun Mame to play as-is... or put a little elbow grease into making super nice. The PC plays everything really smoothly that's not 3D.

Here's a quick demo video, the monitor works great and those diagonal bands are the phone getting confused by the refresh rate of the CRT.
