ugh my thread turned into a jo thread?  Shocked Shocked Shocked

the game was Macross Plus. pcbs run about 350-400 usd. there does not appear to be any sideart or marquee made, the conversion is just a pcb only, a poster and I think two cards that seem like the cards you put in the top of a multicart neo geo system...

wife vetoed me anyway. Id have to get rid of a pin and I'm not getting rid of a pin! thats sacrilege.

Thinking of buying a pcb and building a whole game/cab for a game that was never relased in the usa. no pics exist on the net I can find of any cab, it was side art conversion only. I cant find any pics of side art or the marquee so it would all need to be customised... i played the shit out of it in Australia but I dont remember what kind of 2 player cab it was converted in or if it had a marquee...

the pcb is not cheap either :/ but it would be freaking awesome.

The easy part, its a 2 button jamma, so basically any 2 player jamma cab would be fine...

I have 800k on my tablet. nudging the tablet is terribad, so to trying to use the magna save because its at the top of the screen, too slow to move hands up and hit the button. so thats 800k no nudge/no magna!

dont do leds. these old ballys run the "-17" boardset and they dont do leds nicely.

if you really want leds, you can get a led replacement board from marco,

loooove gorgar. hope the PF is very nice since its like a what 1978? 1979? and they didnt do mylar or hardcoating on the PF so every goargar I've seen has planking and super worn out through to the wood.

original system 80 game, with all the ground problems and board issues that come with it. lots of issues there.

the game itself, nothing to really do. 7 drops and really thats it. I would not want this as my only pin or first pin.
