My arcade cabinet

You little prick tease.

Can't wait for the pics


I can also recommend killer cabs. I got my chinese neo candy copy cab from Tony and he was unbelievably helpful.

Just been to pick up my cab. Needs a clean and have to move it into the best position in my garage but will have to do that after work. Pics tomorrow! Was switched on when I went to collect it, and the screen seems to be absolutely fine - it is clear and colourful. Cannot wait to try it.

Here it is! As I said before, it a'int as nice as the likes of Super Monkey Balls cab.

But you know what I like most about this cab? THE PRICE.

Had a few problems though. Any advice appreciated.

First of all, the bloke gave me a standard SF2 cab instead of one of the CE ones, so was mildly disappointed with that - and there are a few things that need sorting out (heeelp me) -

-the 2P start button isn't working
- I need to replace the buttons at some point
- at game over, there is no continue option
- am not sure what sort of cab it is and what I can play on it, hence the pics of it's innards

Overall it works very well. the joystick is nice, and I was doing hadokens and dragon punches almost immediately! Cosmetically I will also be giving it an overhaul. Am getting a second cab on saturday, and have ordered a new board (Soul Edge), so need to make sure I know how to change them over!

Finally, does anyone know of a place near to Southampton that can carry out basic maintenance and suchlike on arcade cabs?

Buttons and sticks - www.ultimarc.com - ordered loads of bits from him and always good service.

And as for your continue, probably a dispswitch issue, have a read of this

[eastyy]

Strange thing is while i liked playing arcade games i could never get the hang of joysticks no matter how much i practiced.Dragon punchs i really struggle with

[babs]

Sorry for all the posts, It seems your Soul Edge board is a System 11 one, I'd do some research.

Have a look here and here.

(Hope some of this is helping )

Looks nice Sean, just needs a bit of TLC, keep the pics coming with your progress.
What size monitor is it by the way.

[Big Seany]

Christ knows - it is a decent size though.

Dipswitches - where the hell are they located? Can't find them anywhere.

The "no continue" issue sounds like a setting on the board. Cant remember if the original SF2 has dip switches or a service button, either of which should be on the board itself close to the jamma connector i reckon.

[Big Seany]

On the SF2 board, right? Will have a look. COuld it be on the underside of the board, perhaps? I have taken a pic of the actual board which appears above.

[geldra]

No, it should be on the top where all the components are.

You know what banks of dip switches look like right? They'll be like a blue or black block of really little white switches....

[Big Seany]

Right - I will check that out when I get home. Thanks for all the help guys.

[geldra]

it could also just be a single switch that puts the board into service mode and displays the options on screen.
