+GoldenWheels Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Anyone try and of these giant all covering decal kits here yet for the 1ups? I have to admit I want to turn by Rampage into a 3 player Simpsons or TMNT. But I've laid vinyl before and I am looking at those side pieces like....woof. Ain't no way those go down straight and smooth easily. Maybe I am wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negative1 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 because its cool, thats why. added bonus points for the wood grain, but minus points, since he didn't use replica or original atari joysticks which would have looked better. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negative1 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) lots more stuff about the talking plushies, and a much better look at the tiny cocktail tables: xmen makes a test appearance on the MK2 cabinet around 10:30: later -1 Edited January 15, 2019 by negative1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 xmen makes a test appearance on the MK2 cabinet around 10:30: I sure hope they aren't including that. X-Men: CotA is a six button game. The MKII cab only has five on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 They'd need the rights from Capcom and Disney for that. It'd be kind of cool to have an X-Men / Marvel Super Heroes / X-Men vs. Street Fighter cab, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely, it's just a test, or something they left on there. And you're wrong about Mortal Kombat, ultimate III has 6 buttons including the run button. later -1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray the surface and the back of the vinyl with warm water. start from the top and using a squeegee, work the water out from the top down. The water will push the air out and you will have no bubbles. Watch some videos on window tinting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll watch some vids to see how much water they use, thanks a lot. The directions in the vinyl package never mentioned adding moisture and it never occurred to me!

No where in the picture--something I based my statement on--is there a MK3. It's true that MK3 features a sixth button, but if they want to get the layout right, that button will be at the bottom left of the main set of buttons, not in an ideal position for another non-MK fighting game.

Guess you need to learn how to read, and watch the video. It has MK1, MK2 and ultimate MK3 in the video. The run button is exactly where it's supposed to be. It's been shown several times, and commented on also. Sure, it's not in an ideal place, but it's still useful, as all the buttons will be there. later -1 Edited January 16, 2019 by negative1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't no way those go down straight and smooth easily. Maybe I am wrong? I ordered one for my Galaga cab. I figure I'll put it on the backside of kickplate to preserve the factory graphics. I'll post on how it goes. If these are relatively thick decals, it shouldn't be bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrock Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 My thoughts exactly. If you really wanted that, you could do it with Retropie. But playing Atari 2600 games on a cab seems kind of pointless to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 My thoughts exactly. If you really wanted that, you could do it with Retropie. But playing Atari 2600 games on a cab seems kind of pointless to me. If it had been a recreation of an in-store demo kiosk, I could understand the appeal as that was something that existed at the time the 2600 was current. Given that the 2600 was never intended for or placed in arcade use (by Atari, anyway), sticking one into an Arcade1up is kind of an odd thing to do to my mind. It's trying to make it into something it never was by way of a cabinet design that never would have been used at the time it was on the market. To each their own; I really don't care if this is what someone wants to do. Doesn't mean I'll understand their reasoning behind doing so, however.

mr_me Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Turning the atari 2600 into an arcade cabinet offers a different experience and way to play these old familiar games. And panel mounted joysticks are much better than handheld joysticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I mean it's like taking ANY console.. whether it's 2600 or SNES, and modding it to fit in another form factor, like an arcade cabinet housing & controls, a handheld, or in this case, a friggin arcade1up mini-cab. i.e. questionable desirability, but a project that someone can do... if they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 25+ year old joysticks he used will probably last longer than the 1up sticks it came with. (And for the record, I think it's cool. Not for me, but cool. Since we're all giving our opinions and shit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
