Hi, her some pics of my Atari 7800 Mod. Found a rusty Atari 7800 (it was under water) and a broken ASUS Eee PC 1215B. It´s 12,1" size, now the board connections on both sides! Needs only a few modification to bring it in Atari case! Next step is a changeable 2,5" Hdd. The Hdd goes into a orginal Cardridge. I have decided to "ET the Game" The best Game ever Images from the current state.

Just checking, but a bartop arcade machine would only be suitable for consoles no later than PS1 due to the limitations of 1 joystick and 6 buttons ?

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted and decided so show some of the control panels for the projects I'm currently working on. Both of the control panels are originally nba jam and have since been changed. The first project is one that's intended to be a surprise for my uncle he is a huge cowboys fan and my aunt was wondering could I whip up something. I am going to keep the original blue nba jam blue joysticks for this one and have a mixture of white and blue buttons. More on the cab a bit later. I wanted to do something different so I said hey why not wrap the cab in turf lol. I was thinking of covering the artwork with plexi instead used mod podge an…

Hey there. New to hyperpsin and MAME emulation. Been using my psp for emulation but it does not do arcade games. I grew up in and around arcades. Countless quarters spent on Quartet, Double Dragon etc. I am now looking at creating my own Arcade MAME Cabinet. My friend use to have a Final Fight Cabinet but it was based on JAMMA boards. I just recently discovered Cabinet builds based on Hyperspin MAME emulation. Looking forward to reading the forums and checking out the builds. looking on craigslist for a beat up cabinet to refurbish and house everything. Is there a particular online store that you guys recommend based in Canada for buttons and joystick components? please l…

I've done some cursory searching on the forums, but haven't found anything. I found a product on Amazon, and was wondering if anyone had experience with it. The product in question is the "Reyann Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder". It seems really cheap at $12.99, even comparing it to the i-pac VE at $35. I understand that while they attempt the same thing, they are a different class of product. The i-pac ve has 32 inputs, and this seems to have 20. This would only handle one player, but two of them combine to a grand total of $26 for 40 inputs. Anyway, just wondering what you guys think. Would you risk it?

I'm looking for honest feedback regarding the Recroommasters Xtension Pedestal cabinet. I built my first cabinet back in 99/00 during the course of 6-8 months. It was a side project where I did a little bit at a time when I had free time. My original front end was ArcadeOS running on a Pentium II CPU with an actual arcade monitor. I fried the monitor New Years Eve night and have since installed a 20 inch 4:3 LCD. I still have that cabinet in all its glory with a beefier CPU and Hyperspin (as of last year). Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this wonderful project. Anyways, I want to add a second cabinet to our arcade collection in our basement and I really hav…

Hi Guys, I've got a 4670K + Noctua NH-L12 (biggest/baddest cooler that would fit) in my bartop and it's running great. I just started playing with overclocks. I'm up to 4.4ghz using ASRock OC presets. I was able to run IntelBurnTestV2 for 10 cycles all the way up to 4.4ghz and it passed. My temps did reach 100 celcius during the test, but they are idling around 45-50. Is this too hot for idle? Any recommendations?

Hoping that someone can help me. Just in the process of refurbing my cab and seem to have a config issue. I'm using a Jpac card to hook up the control panel. It all seems to be working other than Hyperspin isn't recognising the shift key commands - non shift keys are working. I've used passmark keyboard mapper and the shift key commands are being recognised so it does look like a hyperspin config issue. Any ideas?

Took far longer than I expected and I'm easily 60+ hours invested. Over 110 games are represented. The rules were: -Every game/series shown must have had an actual arcade machine at some point. -Use interesting art instead of game art whenever possible. -No CG art -All games must be iconic, classics or be important to me in some way. Obviously this is a low quality file. The actual image is 73" tall almost 40" wide, 300 DPI and over a gig in size. Time to have it printed! So what do you think?

All, I would like to use a CRT in a new cabinet. Is finding a new or used computer CRT going to give the cabinet the look and feel of a tradition arcade cabinet if done right? Is the computer CRT "too good (higher resolution)" than the old arcades used? I can find a computer CRT for $50-$200 depending on size. which is way less than $600+ for a Makvision which I'm afraid will feel too big but what do I know at this stage of my plans. Thanks, Andy

Well about 6 month ago I built this little thing as a bit of a folly Hyperspin based emulator for the console I spent the latter part of my childhood playing. (Megadrive with its various add-ons) using original controllers (had to happen - I don't understand people who emulate a console and then use xbox controllers or whatever) With a "marquee" style monitor in the cartridge which displays the actual cart art for the game being played. Started as faulty consoles sourced from ebay / facebook selling groups. etc stripped them out and built a mini ITX PC as per usual. I added a 500GB sata hdd (ample for the sega 8-16 bit sets - which is all that will be runni…

After three years of building a cabinet in my spare time, it is finally done. I think I had a better time building it and messing around with Hyperspin than actually playing it. Time to show it off and find out what you all think.

Hi everyone, First post on the forums and I am looking for some feedback on my first build, a 4-player pedestal. I was planning on going with a six button layout for P1/P2 and then four buttons for P3/P4. I have set up the computer already and I am emulating up through GC/Wii. I know for certain systems I will obviously have to go with a controller, so I am fine with that. My main question was really if P1/P2 should have six or seven (or maybe even eight) buttons. Are Neo Geo games uncomfortable to play without that seventh button? For those people with eight buttons, has it increased the number/types of games you can play with the control panel vs a separate controller…
