d0s posted:I make low-mid 5 figures and still manage to have a good selection of PCBs and now own most of the boards I've wanted, all it takes is knowing how/where to get deals and what stuff is really worth, and not spending a cent on other entertainment/etc outside the hobby. you have to completely shun the normie life and go all in Arcade_doomer.txt There's a couple of arcade/route servicers in state that probably have a warehouse of boards -- I just need to turn the screws on and see what I can get for the low. Unless there's someone with more money and time than I have in state with the exact same thought who already bought everything 2 years ago. It's like the pvm/bvm rush of the last few years who've now migrated to the ultra high end consumer crts. Though with a total economic collapse looming, maybe I can catch a bargain here and there.

This happens more often than you can think and a few posters in this thread could share piles of stories as you can't escape lovely assholes. Also regarding hitting up a distribution route - unless you befriend the person who manages the inventory you won't get anywhere and even then distributors are a pure profit driven company. They don't care if you want a board or game if it's still making money and it's far easier to just recycle things than bother with selling for most of them. The arcade boom already happened it was well before the retro boom as a whole. Games that were $10-20 10 years ago now net an easy $100-200. Take Pit Fighter or WWE Superstars for example - back in the early 00s people couldn't get rid of these games fast enough as they were the SMB1 of arcade pcbs and now they're both $100 games.

I remember going to a weird storefront/warehouse in town that had a bunch of beater cabs during the recession (they were closing the space and consolidating) and trying to see what kind of stuff they were selling. Most of which was a metric fuckton of kiddie rides from a ton of different eras. Some cool metallic-paint buggy looking ones and then a full fleet of Walmart truck rides. I ended up grabbing some random CPO parts for some stupid diy MAME cabinet I was thinking I'd build. Certainly nothing of value, like the SNK rotaries, 49-ways or any of the Wico 360s/optical buttons. Walked away from a ton of stuff. Mainly because I was injured, out of work and broke. Largely I didn't really know what I was looking at etc. Though I was inches from a ok condition stand up Outrun and I really regret not getting it for ~200$. You kinda have to get intro'd to the scene to really start having an eye for it I think. Unless you just want some random cabinet, which is probably going to be a Street Fighter derivative or an MVS with Puzzle Bobble and a Metal Slug. I mean I do now but I'm still just about as broke hahaha.

I've seen Vigilante go for over $100 which is mindblowing to me because it was always the definition of "$20 PCB" to me for a long time, even after the boom in arcade prices. The dumb thing is I actually wanted that board out of nostalgia from having the TG16 game as a kid, but always put it off because I figured it would always be cheap e: the distribution route side of things is mostly for people looking for US style cabinets, if you're only interested in PCBs then it becomes easier by just learning what forums have good sales boards and how to use Japanese auction sites

Only time I saw a cab like this one in the wild was like 20 years ago in a small arcade in a seedy, run down mall in NH and it had Dead or Alive in it. I was too tall to sit down in the seat without my knees hitting the control panel so it might not have been this exact one. Also if I had an arcade cab I would choose something like Point Blank 2, even though I assume the upkeep on a light gun cab is more of a hassle than normal.

I don't think upkeep on a lightgun cab would be anything much more crazy than a normal cab, like I'm not 100% familiar with them but it's just a different input method and you probably just wire it up and forget it (unless you already bought it as a light gun cab, in that case just clean it/do standard repairs and play) d0s fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Is there any way through some sort of hack or something to get one button fatalities to work in the MK arcade games? I've never really heard of MAME cheat codes or MAME ROM hacking but it was one of my favorite codes ever on the snes and I would do anything to be able to do it in the arcade versions.

Mame does have cheat codes baked in if you have the cheat file plugged into your mame setup. Hbmame may have something you can burn into a rom. If that's what you're looking for. I'm not in front of my actual mame setup to tell you for sure. 2reachmu fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Is this a situation where someone has already done "created" this code/hack and I just have to find it and enter it somehow / patch the ROM? Or do I have to learn programming or something?

T2 uses analog inputs but Operation Wolf does use lightgun tech, notice that the screen flashes white when a shot is fired and that you can "blind" the gun by putting your hand in front of the barrel unlike T2

falz posted:Wait what, for real? I spent I have to assume it was cheaper to just do the whole thing with a glorified analog joystick, since the players aren't gonna be tossing around the (for the time) large gun-like unit, and I guess calibration is pretty stupid simple (just aim at the corners, those are your max values). Terminator: Salvation sort of disproves my initial theory though, since that gun (though still not technically a light gun) is huge and not attached by anything but a cable... There must've been a reason to do it that way.

going analog also allows for on-screen targeting reticles and removes the need for the flashing white screens that could potentially induce seizures in some people. Terminator: Salvation uses infrared tech much like a wii remote. I was about to say that analog and IR allows for multiplayer but then i remembered the Sega Master System game called Gangster Town that can be played by 2 players simultaneously if you have 2 sega lightguns and the Lethal Enforcers arcade game by Konami Jello Robot fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Apr 23, 2020 |
