I am looking at someone who has a dedicated Killer Instinct cab and is willing to trade for my Area 51. As much of a fan of Area 51 as I am, I do have these things on location and want to know if I spend a weekend trading these cabs (which I can bet mine is in near perfect condition and his isn't) will I be getting the raw end of the deal if I have to replace his monitor.

I would also like to ask if I do end up getting this cab, is it possible to later put Marvel vs. Capcom 2 into the cab and run both games inside at once, or if it will even run inside with the KI kick harness?

Fighting games are not my specialty at all, but I have requests for them daily.

I plan to eventually make a dedicated cab for MvC2, but right now I just don't have time to learn how to make a nice enough cab. (anyone have resources to teach me how, please let me know the best one)

Any help or comments would be nice.

*On a side note, going to pick up a might as well be new Ms. PacMan/Galaga 25th Anniversary Edition for $1,000 from a coworker of my father today.
 
Marvel vs Capcom 2 would use a Capcom CPS-2 kick harness so it would not be a simple plug and Play situation but it can be done. I'm not sure what kind of kick harness Killer Instinct has but basically you would have to wire up both kick harness' to your buttons.

Area 51 vs Killer Instinct I'm not sure who is getting the better deal. Both are pretty desireable. And as far as monitors go, who knows. Even your monitor could go at any time no matter how mint you keep your cabs lol

I think most people may lean towards the Original Dedicated Killer Instinct cab
 
Personally I would rather have the KI but Area 51 still earns pretty well in most places. You could put MVC2 in the KI but it only uses 4 buttons. Any CPS2 fighter would be a better fit in a KI. Just don't hack the cabinet all up, please.

Wouldn't Marvel vs Capcom 2 require you to have a Naomi setup for your cabinet, or am I wrong about that?

Youre absolutely right. Marvel vs capcom was CPS2 but Marvel vs capcom 2 is a Naomi game.

That would complicate things even more. Probably better off with a dedicated cab justfor marvel vs capcom 2
 
Marvel vs Capcom 2 I/O and Maomi motherboard with mvc2 cart, kick harness

I can get these right here, and I believe KI has a duel Stick w/6 button Control Panel as well.

No, I don't want to gut the cab to pieces. (if I wanted to do that to a cab, I might do to my TMNT with the sound issue on the board)

Any info on how with the above there^^ I would go about just building a cab for the MvC2?

Thanks,

You may have trouble getting someone to trade you a KI for Area 51, I'd value the KI at about twice what the Area 51 is worth, but if you find somebody who would prefer a shooter over a fighter, they may bite!
