Anyone traveling from Miami to Connecticut?

I went there when I was very young, in fact it was probably one of my first arcade experiences. I vaguely remember those cabinets they installed around the games (not the pinball ones though).

He basically cut a curved lens with a lathe and glued it to a 4:3 LCD. Here is his blog post where he explains the process.

I don't know that anyone sells a complete kit including a JAMMA adapter. At best you could probably find a complete MiSTer and buy a separate j-pac. The official forum is https://misterfpga.org/ maybe you could ask in the seller forum there, or Classic Gaming server on Discord.

MiSTer is great.

I have long suspected there is a market for reproduction candy cabs. There's not a whole lot to them. They could even be largely disassembled for shipping. People could install their own monitor.

If you want to go the proprietary route, you can buy this jamma adapter https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/product/jamma-adapter/ Or you can just connect it with a j-pac.

Wouldn't FPGA be the way to go, like MiSTer?

The Neo Geo core officially released. Looks really good.

I know how much everyone loves these. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will feature two games: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989) Turtles in Time (1991) The Marvel Super Heroes machine will provide thee games: Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men Children of the Atom, The...

I know Furrtek's Neo Geo core has actual circuits implemented, but why does the circuit itself have to be duplicated if the output is identical (other than for historical purposes)?

I think all the active devs are striving for signal level accuracy. I can't personally attest to the accuracy of the older cores, but Alan Steremberg (co-founder of Weather Underground) is going through them and making corrections. It really is an exciting project though. In some ways it feels...

I'm in Norwalk

Been wanting an Outrun for a while, what's out there?

The MiSTer project is attempting to do exactly that. There are contributors decapping custom ICs and translating them 1:1 in HDL. Once that's done an FPGA could be used to replace any custom chip you need, but they need help as it's a slow and expensive process, not to mention the cost of donor...
