I need to multi/mame my Mario bros widebody.
Now hear me out. I don't WANT to do this, however nothing would be damaged. Hell I spent $500+ converting this from a double dragon back to a nice looking MB widebody. However...in my 1 bedroom apartment I have only have space for 3 cabinets. (Mario, Pac, DK). My DK and Mario are dedicated and the PAC is a 60-1(with unplayable games turned off) which i am going to switch to an ArcadeSD when I get the funds.
My issue I guess is I ony have space for 3 games, and I have only 1 horizontal cab and I rarely play Mario(but I don't want to sell it). The plan has always been once I move out of the apartment, find a house with a decent basement and keep the Mario, DK and convert the Pac back to dedicated as it had no board when I bought it. Then I would get 1 25" cab for two player mame action.
I really miss some of the games I had on my old Mame setup, such as metal slug which my wife actually played with me, tapper, Marvel vs. Capcom stuff like that. And I have the widebody control panel that came with the Mario when I bought it that was drilled to hell, so I could easily use that and I already own an xarcade DIY controller board, so the only thing I would need is a VGA2CGA converter or an ArcadeVGA...I wouldn't even remove any wiring, would just disconnect the power going to the power supply. It would seriously take like 10 minutes to get Mario back to dedicated...if that.
It's so damn tempting and everything will be converted back when I finally have space...but man...I spent a lot of work on that Mario....
I'm sure I know most of your opinions already...but lets get everyone going on here for some good old fashioned KLOV drama!
