Nintegageo | 582 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 It is actually exactly the type of thing I wanted as a product. Can rotate the screen 90 degrees, has 2 models, good materials, JAMMA ready. Anyone else excited about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,410 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 There's some wonkiness with the display. They originally claimed it was 1600x1200, people couldn't get it to work properly, and now for this product they're claiming 1440x1080 (so a different panel?). It looks cool but I'd wait for reviews to make sure they don't half-ass the finish line the display because you won't find a 4:3 replacement as big.

Nintegageo | 582 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Ya, I read they were aware of the screen issues and addressed it. Here's hoping. The cabinet build certainly seems legit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I was interested in this when I first heard about it, but then I realized most of my favorite arcade games are pre-JAMMA and I really don't need to fall into the arcade PCB rabbit hole haha. Still think it's an extremely cool concept, though. [T-Pac] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to avoid this thread cuz this seems up my alley and I don't have "buy an arcade cabinet" money at the moment, but this might go on my "when I do again" list. When you've spent some time with it do you mind doing a writeup on your thoughts, and tag me on it? I'd love to know what you think after you've had time to tinker. Also how quick/easy is turning the monitor? I love TATE mode games but I'd probably be switching back and forth if I could and if it's a huge pain I know I'd not do so.

Nintegageo | 582 Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 @Gloves absolutely. This one isn't mine though, they just keep teasing photos. Once mine arrives, then am happy to. Heck, if you're ever in Ottawa.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most pre-JAMMA games can be converted into jamma with a very simple adapter. There is no uniform standard before ~1986'ish. At least seven of my PCBs are pre-jamma, and none of them have weird unique inputs like trackball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem: Early 80s arcade PCBs are nonstandard and an expensive rabbit hole. Solution: Buy expensive adapters to play the expensive PCBs on the expensive new arcade cab. ...I think I'll stick to Namco Museum for the PS1 haha...
