Not if they don't have to. It would cost more money.

Agreed - they're probably just repurposing the existing control decks, not reinventing the wheel.

What bugs me about that SF2 Projectorcade is it looks like it keeps the same control deck width as the A1U cabs. Given how cramped the cabs are with two players side-by-side, you'd think A1U would expand the width equal to a full-size cabinet.

we'll have to wait until they come out. since they are HDMI, i am guessing,

i will get the atari 12-1 to test out.

 

then we'll know the size.

Never liked those designs to be honest (wallcade.)

[Vrock]

I don't play fighting games, but if I did I wouldn't want a 1 player version of SF2. The USB input is an interesting idea, but not ideal.

I picked up a gen 1 Arcade1up Asteroids 4-in-1 cabinet today. There's no deck protector but it's still in pretty good condition, since the previous owner didn't use it much. I'm looking forward to fixing it up a bit with a new spinner.

[Vrock]

Hope you got it for a good price.. The vector emulation is rough on that cab, and the gen 1 monitor makes it look even worse.

Nah, its fine for what it is.  I've got the Asteroids Deluxe cab and the 12 in 1, they're fine.

I got it for $80, I should be able to do several nice upgrades and still come in for a fair bit less than when it was new. As for the appearance of the vectors, it doesn't bother me.

 

I was looking at the size of the cabinet and wondering if there would be enough space in a cabinet of this type to do a proper Asteroids Deluxe with the two-way mirror and blacklight painted background (or a second screen to include other games that used a similar technique, like Omega Race), or if I'd need to build my own from scratch.

You did great for $80. Thought about modding into a Pi cab?

I'm definitely considering it. I've only read about Raspberry Pi's though, no hands on experience with them yet. If I go that route, what I would want would be to set it up with a small group of games that work well with the Asteroids + spinner layout. (No desire to add joysticks or otherwise change the control panel layout, because I already have another MAME cabinet with joysticks.) And I'd want to have a nice front end that loads up automatically when you power on the cabinet and shuts off safely when you power it down.

[Vrock]

Plenty of great games for that layout, and you get the benefit of better vector emulation and backdrops for games like Asteroids Deluxe and Armor Attack. There's even room on the Arcade 1up deck to add a joystick if you want. 

 

Retropie goes straight into a front end called Emulation Station, and you can also safely shut down from there. If you plug your PI, monitor, and speakers into a power strip, after shut down you just flip the switch on the power strip and you're good to go.

I did all that with a PC, and much better results. Although I used an all in one.

 

 

 

backdrops and vector games look better, and are a big improvement.

I may have asked this before but you guys who are replacing the monitors in your old A1up cabs.. what are you using? I have a 12-1 with a dead monitor. I have plans for it, but I have to figure out a suitable monitor first ?

[Vrock]

Your best bet might be ebay, look for a replacement Arcade1up monitor. Otherwise, Tulsa Arcades sells a mounting kit that is supposed to work well for monitors up to 20".

Is your PC inside the cabinet?

For all in ones, the pc is inside the monitor.

I see. So you mounted the monitor into the cab, then?

 

Have you considered a front end so you can ditch the mouse interface? Plenty of good ones out there.

i can't stand any of the front-ends out there. none of them do what i want,

i want a basic simple, customizable one, and most are way too bloated.

 

i'm not using a mouse, i have a trackball, and spinner connected. I'm also

hooking up a major havoc 'roller' USB replica to it also.

 

i want complete control of the icons, which game, and where they are placed.

so that's why i chose that one.

I'd be interested in seeing pics of your setup at some point. I can see the advantages of a full fledged PC vs. Raspberry Pi.

[Keatah]

Yup. PC was the original way in how these things were done.

[Vrock]

Sure, but more difficult to integrate into a cabinet than a PI.
