Well, I'm back - real life got in the way for awhile, to be honest. Managed to get my articulating monitor mount for only $20 CAD from amazon. The cabinet design has massively changed from my original plans though as I found a prefabbed cabinet that with only a few modifications will work beautifully. The question I have is A) Can I use anything from the tankstick? I've heard over and over that the controller is garbage- but I bought a DIY kit and it has a better controller (so I've heard). Can I still use the tankstick with this new controller? The current setup will have the tankstick sitting just below the line of the front of the cabinet so a person …

Purchased a case from Monster Arcades. They included 2 fans for the case for the top and bottom. These are just like for a computer with the same kind of connector. They have 4 pin connectors. How do you wire these to power? Cant find anything that extends too far? Thanks!

Hello to you all. I'm new to the forum and not sure if this is the right place. But I love games electronics and computer I've built multiple. Now I'm interested in building a bar top hyper spin system. I was looking for advice pointers and list of parts needed. I'm also confused on setup of hyper spins. Is it own form of a OS . Is it window based and if I get the hyper spins HDD does it come prepared to the point of all I have to do is plug it into my motherboard? All in all I want to build a Bartop arcade that will also be able to run. SFV / SFXTK / Injustice/ and all older games no matter platform.

I just recently purchased a very nice Gauntlet machine that is in pretty good shape and am very satisfied with it....but of course there is always the desire for more. The monitor has some burn which is not a major issue since I can replace it with an lcd monitor. That said I am curious if it is possible to pull out the Atari bezel and put in a full sized screen that fits nice and flush with the dimensions it could potentially hold. Specifically 23 1/2" long by 20" tall. I know, it could be a tall order, but it would be pretty cool in there.....and look awesome. As it stands there is a Game Elf 620 board which has some nice ga…

I am looking for a USB bulkhead. I plan to build a console with the computer inside, so I would like to extend the USB from the box through the sidewall of the console for accessories. The ones I find don't have the connection I want. I want a USB A from the computer to a pass through fitting with another USB A. If you have some suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Hey everyone, Here is my new project. I found this at a local hardware store. It was used years ago as the cabinet that held the paint matching computer and monitor. I saw it in the back with a bunch of other junk and the owner said that I could just take it. The guys there used a forklift to get it in my truck. It will sit in my shed for a bit while I finish some other work in our house. Thanks for checking it out!

I would like to pull some money out of the build if anybody has any suggestions. Here is my proposed build along with questions: Component Selection Base Promo Shipping Tax Price Where CPU …

I am getting one of these: Xtension Sit Down Pro Arcade Machine "Emulator Edition" for the kids downstairs. It comes with their Xtension Two Player Control Board "Emulator Edition". Looks like will work with MAME right out of the box. My question is if anyone else has this controller and if so how easy to setup for RetroArch and other EMUs?

Hi All. Whilst I know how to disable the default wheel sounds whilst scrolling through the wheels I wanted to ask if anyone was aware a less annoying sound pack. Whilst the sounds that come with hyperspin are cool they do get on my nerves after a while. Anyone aware of any sound files a little more subtle? Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Finally have a chance to try and finish my marquee (after years of using a faded MAME one). Been using photoshop 9 CS2 which has Imageready and I'm ok at doing most this in PS but can't seem to grasp the vector graphics part. This is probably the first time I'm using VG. I have an idea I want to go with, which is something like "Arcade Time Machine" but written in the Back to the Future font. Not sure If I want to add anything else from BTTF. Anyway, here is what I have so far...let me know what you think add change move...etc... And this time I'd like to incorporate HyperSpin somewhere in it. Lastly, want to add some classic arcade characters.…

My neighbor gave me an empty cabinet he had stored outside under an awning for quite a long time. It is not in the best shape but I figured its free so I might as well do something with it. My plan is to build a super cheap MAME cabinet to keep in my garage for when I have company over. I have a Intel NUC I plan on using to power it. Had it laying around and seems to do just fine. Purchased some buttons and an I-Pac controller to use as controls. I plan on expanding the control panel at some point. Im more focused on getting it setup and working at the moment. I have an old home theater stereo im going to try and integrate into it for sound. Thinking…

hey guys im going to try to make this as easy to understand as i can. I'm a bit confused by the I/o led section. I have daisy chained my positives all around the panel and pinned into the first "+" on the I/0. No problem there. I have 6 blue player one buttons, and 6 red player 2 buttons. 2 white/2green/2yellow up top for admins/coin etc. I am confused how to run single colour led's on the board so I can properly run led blinky. The board is being weird. The first row, where the daisy chained positive is channeled to the first"+" pin, pins 1,2,3 light up p1 buttons 1,2,3. Nothing wrong there. Second row, only pin 4 works (R)…

First off, Zac and I haven't been on the site in A LONG-ASS TIME! Looks great! Anyway, It looks like our HS-NES build thread went MIA in the website upgrades... so I figured I'd repost some stuff, and let you guys know that we're getting back into the HyperSpin game. Life's been crazy busy, and the both of us have gotten tied up in the whirlwind.. but we're now hoping to finally finish the HS-NES we started, and get back to the MK arcade project in the spring. That poor thing has been collecting dust in my garage Anyway, here's a little to get you up to speed on the HS-NES we started, and where we plan to go next with it. First thing’s first: We got a busted NE…

My brother-in-law came across a MegaTouch XL Cabaret that looks like this: It is in fair shape at best (Was left in the snow recently) so repairing it is out of the question. But would it be worth the time / Feasible to convert it into something like this: http://www.hayneedle.com/product/pacmansarcadepartycabaretbynamco.cfm Trying to decide on stopping him from Ebay parting it out. I will post an actual picture of it tonight or tomorrow.
