Making money with Multicades? worth it?

[wrongdon]

That is such a cool thing to do,i don't believe i have ever seen a handicap accessible arcade machine.Just such a great thing to do for them.

I guess my metal framed Multicade could be considered a scratch cabinet. It will look like the new Golden Tee cabs. They will sell for between $3000 and $5000 depending on options. I am also in the design process of building a wheelchair accessable Multicade for the kiddos that cant reach the controls on a regular size game. Its not always about the money. That and it always makes me wanna cry when I have friggin 80+ games in the arcade here, and theres nothing for the handicapped kids to do. Sometimes the dad will pick them up and put them in the driving games. Messes with my head. Hence the design.

Enjoy killing your hobby and risking legal consequences boys. It's your necks, not mine.

One day the only thing that will be left are going to be shitty cloneboards because people will stop bothering fixing original ones and will settle for the bootlegs 1900-in-1 megapacks.

Wow thats a pretty nieve stance. Multicades are out there.. their a tons and tons of people selling them.. far far more then are on this thread.

While I am personally against taking a real arcade machine and converting it to a multicade I see no issues with scratch building them. (beside legal)
I am not going to be so high on my horse as to condem others as the demise of the hobby for doing so. The own the machine they can do what they want with it.

Your avg homeowner is not going to buy and fix up an arcade machine. They want a ready made solution. Why should they spend 1k+ on a restored single game vs a multicade.
