    What's the lifespan of somebody staying in the hobby?

    I would imagine the longevity of participating in any hobby relies on a small set of internal and external circumstances; financial, communal and general interest being the driving force for most. If you budget wisely and control your impulses you'll last a long time. If you suddenly can't...

    PCB Identification

    Someone nearby is selling a bunch of arcade PCBs, but no idea what they are. Generally I'd steer away from these, but this one caught my eye. I have an idea of what they are, but I'm not that experienced. Anyone good at identifying PCBs by sight want to give a guess?

    The Grails That Were not to Be

    I stalk the monitor repair/marketplace mostly. Sometimes when I'm bored in the shop I make these pointless ramblings. Indeed, that's why I started there. My first fighting game! Alas, I don’t own one yet. I am very much still in the bargain basement phase of collection. I've seen a few for...

    The Grails That Were not to Be

    Necroing to muse on this topic: I was fortunate in that my "grail" was the first game that started my collecting, Soul Calibur 2. I got it half a year after starting my search and it holds a prominent place in my arcade. Sure, there are plenty of games I'd like to own, but nothing is...

    My experience with the Unico Phoenix 26" LCD monitor

    I can now definitively chime in on this monitor, having received one in a Tekken 5 cabinet: it's pretty crap. It appears the menu options do not effect the signal coming from VGA input, the view angle is super shallow, and the remote is unintuitive and on a short tether. 2/5

    Best ARCADE FIGHTING GAME in your opinion

    As a former professional fighting game player: SSF2T, aka Grandmaster. And that wasn't one of my games. (Also, my games all had console ports that were superior to the arcade releases, so they don't qualify)

    4-Player Dynamo ID?

    Looks like they misspelled their own name. Or the "DYANMO" Corp made it.

    Dynamo Showcase Cabinet Transport... solo?

    Someone in my area (sort of) is selling a Dynamo Showcase Cabinet, which I've wanted for a long time. But it's far enough away I feel bad about asking someone to make the trip with me, so I'll be wrangling this thing alone. I have a cargo van, and I've loaded regular sized cabinets by my self...

    What do I do with this cabinet?

    I mean, sure, but what do I do with the other 23 hours and 55 minutes of my day?

    What do I do with this cabinet?

    I recently came in to possession of this cabinet with Gal's Panic III in it. The body is some generic manufacturer that no longer exists in meh shape, the t-molding was poorly affixed and should be replaced, the CP has Gal's Panic II logo, the fluorescent ballast was broken, speaker needs...

    What is the best way to convert the cga from a jamma harness to a vga or hdmi or anything?

    Thank'y! Finally got me a real working Soul Calibur II kit, thought I might make a cabinet to go with it. Couldn't come up with a solution to go from JAMMA to HDMI and, lo and behold, ol' jimbodeanny done solved the problem for me. You rate quite highly on Google, it seems.
