lucifershalo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yesterday evening I went to a film festival in Brussels, Offscreen Festival, and in the bar there was a Ms Pac Man arcade cabinet, with clearly a 7800 in it 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hmmm...That is indeed a 7800 controller, but that is 2600 Ms. Pac-Man. It could have been a 7800 controller plugged into a 2600; wouldn't know for sure unless you saw it running a 7800 game as well. Still, a pretty cool encounter either way. Never came across anything like that personally (I live in the US though) - Not sure how rare that is elsewhere. Thanks for sharing and taking pictures! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 That could have been done so much nicer. The concept is there, the cab looks great but the controller just sitting there screams budget job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Maybe it's still a work in progress! But I really like it! Would be cool to have one for every system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifershalo Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Knowing the festival and the kind of people I am sure it is a personal project offered to public to play for free so I thought it was nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, the cabinet looks great like a pretty lady that you scan from bottom to top and then when you reach the middle are like "GOOOOOOOOO!!"! Just wire the pads to buttons and joysticks. It's so easy, even I could do it!! Anyway, that's one beautiful cabinet! What I did on mine was wire Jaguar controls (flat padded and telephoned) and 7800 (monstorously finger freaking and wrist wreaking) controllers to the same Happ parts (competition grade controllers and buttons). I used a switchbox to seperate the 7800 buttons from the buttons that are shared. I really love the orange and the style of the cabinet itself. The art is excellent and the design is a good choice. I just want to go there and wire controls to it... Here's how I did it.. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/235363-jaguar-arcade-cabinet/ I like the orange, though..very nice.

Almost Rice Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If you put that much effort into making a cab, at least finish the job with an arcade joystick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 If you put that much effort into making a cab, at least finish the job with an arcade joystick. That's what I was thinking. And 7800 Ms. Pac not 2600. Those 2 things would make that cab a total homerun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrPac Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If I am not mistaken, that looks like my Ms. Pac-Man Arcade hack from a couple years ago. Would be hilarious if it was. As a member of KLOV, this machine is incredibly unfortunate from an arcade standpoint, though the concept is truly interesting and I do like the look of it. A mini cabinet would have been super interesting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) That could have been done so much nicer. The concept is there, the cab looks great but the controller just sitting there screams budget job. If you put that much effort into making a cab, at least finish the job with an arcade joystick. No kidding. I have made custom joysticks myself. See the flicker albums in my sig. If this guy has the technical skills to build a custom enclosure, he should complete the job with real arcade parts. Just need a power drill and a 11/8" hole saw, a joystick, and a couple buttons. Ooohh, and a copy of Pacman Collection by PMP!
