Thank's to fellow KLOV gentleman and scholar Eseyo1 for allowing me to pair up these two games together in my room. This one is a keeper. Thanks for making it all go so smoothly!

The new X-Men will look heroic next to Spidey!

that spider-man has a wallet that says "Bad Mother Fucker" on it.

i liked it so much before, and now it has a play friend :D
 
You better make sure the audio hybrid module is good on X-Men!
 
I don't even know what that is. I also don't know who about half the characters are on the side art.

Look up Prairied. He's doing some research/cap work on audio on these Konami boards.

Find Captain America and you have the trinity of Marvel beat em ups. :p
 
I had mentioned the potential audio board issue in my FS post and John is aware of it. As of now, the board works 100%.

But yes, highly recommend getting the audio recapped eventually by Prairied1ll0. He does great work. He also sells the cap kits if you prefer doing it yourself.
 
If it's a keeper than you'd better just have it capped so that you don't have to worry about any issues for the next 10+ years.

We should do something at CAX so that we can save shipping/gas one way.

Thanks. I do remember Jess saying something about this early on but it's not a big deal to me since I have other plans for this game anyway. I won't be using the internal sound system. I will, of course, leave it all intact so that future owners can enjoy it though.
 
My 4 player X-Men board seems to be holding up pretty well. No leaking caps from what I can see. Hrm.....makes me want to put my board through a few tests.....I'll have to check the audio quality again.

Do you need another HyperSpin MAME cab?

I haven't decided about Hyperspin yet. I may give Mala a try since it gets a lot of love and will work on a bit slower computer. This cab is perfect though. This way I'll have 2 four-player cabs so up to 8 people can be going at once on just 2 games. And the Spiderman game only has 2 buttons per player so it's not good for NBA Jam and some others. I've been using a Pit Fighter game for my second Mame cab up to now but it's only 3 players and not nearly as nice looking as this one so I'm going to move the innards over to the X-Men.

What I like to do when I have people over who have never seen the game room before is set up the Spiderman game so it's actually playing Spiderman at first and just let them enjoy that. I'll probably do the same thing with X-Men and then it's a surprise when I show them the secret key sequence that opens up the menu for more games.

I think it makes sense that you plan to have MAME as an option, especially when you're always having get togethers with the youth kids who I'm guessing will get tired of X-Men pretty quickly. Like you said, you can easily switch both games back to original setup if need be.

I'm doing the same thing eventually with my SFII:WW. I will maintain the original wiring while having the option to plug-and-play my Hyperspin setup. Nothing original compromised and the ability to make more use of a cabinet. It's win-win.

Sometimes I'm tempted to hack in a trackball or something though. Heh. But I won't. I guess I could add in some light guns without screwing with the control panel. But it seems like it would look funny.
