So I am being offered a chance to buy a non working Mechanized Attack.
It's in good shape but I'm wondering if it's possible to turn it into a MAME cabinet.
I've even considered turning it into a maximum force cabinet.
It's for personal use but I need help in any way about conversion.
What can I turn this thing into?
 
There is just sooo much wrong with this.
 
Let me be the first to welcome you to the forums. Welcome. :)

Secondly let me be the first to warn you MAME and MAME topics while in general are OK to discuss, some people here find the word and more importantly the "conversion" of any game to MAME, to be in the same realm of evil as..... say dropping a nuke on a city of children.

Me... Meh do what you want.

Mechanized Attack Looks to be along the same lines as operation Wolf T2 Revolution X ect...

So at least IMO it is not a "classic" cab. It uses the reflected mirror type NON optical Joystick Gun So it is not a "standard" direct View cab. this could be a issue in converting it and making it look right. YMMV

Converting it to a Max force will not work because the monitor is underneath reflected from a mirror. Shots may not register.

If it was me.... Keep it as it is and enjoy the game (if you can fix it) because converting it will be a pain.
 
Don't do it, Mech Attack is not a common cabinet so would be a shame to destroy one to make a generic MAME cabinet.

That aside, if you want to make a MAME cabinet you are better getting a cabinet that is closer to what you want out of it, ie one that is actually more suited where the monitor is actually in front of the players face, rather than lying down and displayed via a mirror.
 
You can convert anything to anything, but it won't look right and will be way more trouble than it's worth, and you'll ruin a good game. Mechanized Attack is fun. It does have optical guns, btw.
