Building an Arcade machine.

Post by Zoel »

Seeing Mushihimesama Futari, and guessing there is no possible way to play the game unless i built my own arcade machine,

i was wondering if anyone here can give me tips on building an arcade machine.

If you're looking to build a cab so you can play PCBs you might look into getting a supergun first so you can play with your TV instead of getting an entire cab.

The idea sounds interesting. I probably start with that first. But i really want to have an entire Cab. Is there pointers out there?

Instead of building one, maybe have a look around your town and make some offers to local arcade operators.

Heck, even run a search on your local craigslist, maybe someone has one for sale for a few hundred dollars.

Yeah , i try some of these solutions. But arcades are just non existentent in Calgary. I got no results in Craiglist either. I guess i have to order an Egret from Japan or something.
