Arcade Enthusiasts?

Is it weird that I dig up this thread in 2 year increments?

Because I've set up a new cab. This one has a Neo Geo MVS in it. I didn't even shock myself once this time!

Very nice. Are you buying bare parts and building everything or what’s your process? I know a guy who has a cabinet that he bought from like best buy. He then modded that machine to play various roms.

I'm buying bare parts and building everything, but not back to original spec. I basically run a minimal conversion build in my cabinets for efficiency. To get an Arcade PCB to turn on and give signal, you only really need a few parts --

A JAMMA harness, A Power Supply, and a Video Converter Board with a Monitor. After that, you connect some buttons and you can play.

The cabinet is the same size as a 1-up, but it's a blank from Gameroom solutions. It snaps together like weird Ikea furniture.
