Hello everyone!

[AntonGonzalez]

Hi

I've only just gotten in to the idea of having an arcade cab recently. I've had a Supergun for over 10 years and mainly use it for MVS stuff but have also got Moonwalker and Turtles JAMMA boards. My main focus has been retro consoles but I'd like to add a few arcade games to the collection.

I'm hoping to learn a lot from here and maybe pick up a few bits.

Cheers
Anthony

Hi Anthony,

Welcome to UKVAC!

They are great games, I played moonwalker again recently and was impressed it still worked. I must do something about that suicide battery soon! Is yours still the original battery?

I love Neo Geo stuff, I've got an AES but in general the games are way over priced and I've got a CD but the loading is awful, you can forget what game you're playing by the time it loads, hence the MVS found a way into my home.

Mine is still original battery - packed away so it may have died

Nice to know they can be resusitated though

I got back into retro in the later part of 2009 with buying and selling some neo geo gear, then got a neo geo cab, now have a garage with 1 gun game, 2 pinballs and 3 (soon to be 5) candy cabs

welcome dude.
I had an aes for a bit but ended up with a proper neo cab in stead. Much nicer

I've heard mixed things about moonwalker. I'm thinking of (very carefully) replacing the battery in the 68000 CPU.
I would love a pinball table but no room for one at the moment and the one I want is Addams Family which always seems to command rather high prices.

Any cab would be a start for me! Can't decide what route to go down though, do I buy a working cab an empty cab or build one?

And before I forget thanks for the warm welcome people, it's a nice start on the journey

There's tons of cheap jamma cabs out there that would be good to learn the ropes on so to speak, then you could progress from there?
