Food Fight-emulation for a Food Fight-deconversion

[GoldenAge]

According to the properties of Food Fight on my rig (MAME32), Food Fight displays at 256x224.

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/ is probably a better forum if you have further emulation-specific technical questions.

Thanks for the info. Anybody here who got MAME-machine in the same room as a Food Fight to compare how accurate the emulation is?

Awesome project. Any progress?

Sorry Sir, not in the next time.
Thomas (my friend who is in the USA for a year) is still not back and he thinks about to go to the canadian border before he comes back.

So it can take a year until I see this machine.

Wow, now THAT is being patient!

But we are not so patient as you might think, we found a marquee today and yesterday we could´nt restist to peel the woodgrain off the machine.
Although I love woodgrain cabs (I really do, nothing cooler than a Frogger or Convet-a-Cab) we wanted to know if the there is a small chance that the foil went on the machine early enough to preserve perfect art.....it was early enough.

What we found was mint Food Fight art all around the cab:









As you can see it is one of the early white-stripe-shirt-models, but it is a lot earlier than we expected, it says machine serial #28 on the Cab, the monitor and the power-transformer.



So far I am very pleased with the machine...how could´nt I?

Wow, that's amazing!

Looks like MINT artwork -- beautiful!

Yes, so far we are very happy with what we found.

My boys had an operator raid today and found a marquee as well...maybe we find the cabinet to it next time as well.

wow this is truly incredible ! that artwork was preserved ... Food Fight's not only a rare classic but it's actually a great game, good luck on the resto.

Given how nice the cab is you may as well spend the $ to get a rebuilt stick, an original pcb, and a modified DigDug harness (probably a grand altogether) and you'll have yourself one heck of a nice FF worth way more than you have into it. Congrats on the score!

 

[synonym9]

The grand is the problem, since I am not intended to sell my games the resell value is not important.

 

[timiskander]

That brings a tear to my eye... [emoji51] Really incredible that the art is so nice under there.

A chance popped up I go for an original setup....I am not spending a 1000 dollars though.
The operator we visited yesterday had a FF-marquee. As good as he is sorted we might find the cab and probably the PCB...with a hacked harness and a good source I found for the stick I found already I might go the original route.
