John Stamos Mullet Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm picking up a Pac-Man cab and riser Friday at Walmart. I'm planning on converting it to a MAME cab at some point in the future but keeping it stock for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negative1 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Are you sure you don't have a defective unit? I've also noticed you're the only person bringing it up... have you spotted the same sound delay on videos of the same machine(s)? It's been a known delay across most of the games, maybe it's more noticeable on centipede and other games. Most people don't know about it. I'm using the USB mod, so I can access MAME directly and alter settings to minimize the issue. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128Kgames Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Trackball, but is it a new trackball? https://arcade1up.com/collections/spinners/products/atari-12-1-spinner Lazy web site management - it's actually listed as a "Centipede" trackball but they just re-used the 12-1 link...

Flojomojo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Oh my. There are going to be a lot of very happy thirty-somethings as a result of this announcement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONLYUSEmeFEET Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Oh my. There are going to be a lot of very happy thirty-somethings as a result of this announcement. Twenty-something here and the Marvel cab will likely be the one A1UP cab I buy. Hoping these are still hackable as while I love the game selection (Marvel Super Heroes is my favorite CPS-2 fighting game), Marvel vs Capcom 1 belongs here. TMNT would also interest me, but I was never a fan of its button layout and being authentic, the A1UP version has not changed anything about it. That and I've heard A1UP's 3 Player Rampage was very uncomfortable to play, so I can't imagine 4 player TMNT is going to play that much better...

Rampage wasn't good because they didn't increase the control panel width. TNMT will have a wider control panel (from the picture)... but the players in the middle will probably still be crammed together and the players on the end will see a washed out screen unless they've got a better panel for it / viewing angle issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the panel itself, that doesn't bode well for larger-bodied gamers trying to play side-by-side. Otherwise, it seems like a good design and a reasonable price.

They're all 'hackable', you can just add any machine you want to it, get a video converter, and customize the control panel to whatever you want, add games that work with your machine, and done. later -1 Edited June 10, 2019 by negative1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I don't have the room but damn I'm tempted by the TMNT cabinet. Ugh... I do have to wonder how they wrangled all those permissions for the TMNT licensing. You have the actual turtle owners/creators and their interested parties, then Konami was licensed and made those games, but then the turtles license has been shoveled between hands in like the last decade now. They must have put some good lawyer foot work in to pull that one off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBerel Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If somebody made the x-wing flight yoke again for the $100 bucks it should cost, then you'd have something. Best you can find is a custom tooled remake for $600+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they just needed Konami and Nick approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
