In Reply to: New Project started, few questions... posted by Chris Wilson on 19, 2000 at 1:26 PM:
: Last night I picked up my cabinite, a Dynamo cab with a standard res moniter, that had Cobra Command in it. The cab is in good shape so there won't be much refinishing I need to do.
: I am going to set it up for 2 player 6 buttons per player (fighting game style).
Depending on the style of your Dynamo, this is real easy, you can get a *new* panel for it that's already for SF2. (which reminds me I need to email Dynamo and see if I can get a new panel for my HS-5 style cab, instead of having to get one on Ebay)
: The computer parts I have so far for it are:
: Abit BH6 mobo with Celeron 333 (gonna upgrade it)
: 128mb Ram
: Creative AWE32
: ATI All in wonder (w/tv out)
Sounds good.
: now for my questions :)
: 1) I want to leave the cabinite JAMMA so that I can hook up some of thoes non emulated games (mk2,nba jam)
: Where can I get a Jamma finger board?
The Real Rob Robberts site, its in the link section.
: 2) What interface is best? IPAC, KE72, PSX through parallel port?
Depends on what you want, if you're going to have PSX in the cab too, then interfacing the pads is best. If you don't have many buttons and don't plan on using an arcade trackball, then the Ipac is probably what you want. If you have a four player panel, or plan on adding an arcade trackball KE-72 is worthwhile.
: 3) is there a way to modify the coin mechs to take any type of coin (i.e. make it a big piggy bank)
take apart the mechs and leave only the switches in, I think that'd do it.
: 4) Should I cut a hole in the back and put a fan in for ventalation? or is it not neccesary?
Depends on your computer, if it runs hot then you need a fan, if not don't bother
: 5) is there a way to hook up the TV out to the arcade moniter instead of going from VGA?
Not currently.
