Never used it though.

Yea, but don't expect to be playing GC games anyway quick through it if thats your plan - it is hella-slow. Maybe for emulators on it, but unsure of the point of that

GC comparable Wii with USB Loader GX is the definitive way to play GC backups on actual hardware imo.

I would have thought that was more of a €10 cart..

Bargain:

Cheaper than buying a box of fags.

No shame here
Literally a RPi, a case and a memory card

Not a dreamer, but its a rip off when the games are now tied to the account rather than the console and he was trying to sell it like it was.

Well they are... very optimistic?

airmax87

another one of them cabs you see everywhere and cant hold downback to play your game of street fighter with the buttons mapped wrong

Lightweight= there's only a raspberry pi inside
485 games= I only bothered to stick in a 8gb sd card I got free with a digital camera a few years ago

o1s1n

Really cheap looking build quality. I pity the person who paid a grand for that!

eddhorse

Ah no one will pay that much, the cab itself looks good but internals do not.

airmax87

I need to get in on this and start undercutting these lads but I'll use japanese parts instead..maybe

slap a Nintendo logo on anything and everybody will want it... including stuff that has existed for free for ages

They could stamp large cardboard boxes and sell it as affordable housing I'm sure

So what's a fair price to be selling bartops at?
Our shop is planning on buidling some (proper japanese parts, no tacky art etc)
based on a pandoras box.
Could be great for the shop if the margins are right but I've never seen these for sale at non silly prices

Depends on a few variables. Screen size, hardware specs, build quality/finish, quality of controls, 1p/2p, marquee lighting, etc etc. For the time & effort to make a nice one, I'd say it'd be hard to keep costs down enough & still make profit.

I dont think you can make basic(but good quality) bartops that sell for a reasonable price and still make a profit on them.
Now, if you can make something really great looking with an especially clean/sexy design, you can charge a good bit more a pull in a decent profit per machine.

Remember that dude who made the candy cab bartops? They were amazing. Prices were mental but they really were slick.

o1s1n

Was looking through some old photos and came across this beauty, jesus :eek:

Someone actually looked a a Domy Jr with no CP and thought, 'I know exactly what this small petite Candy cab needs, an aircraft carrier bolted to it'

CiDeRmAn

On a brighter note, the control panel also doubles as something to bury you in, presumably after you die at the hands of O1s1n, who loves petite Candy cabs!

"Bargain price" :rolleyes:

phily2002

hate to see the non bargain price!!

What does it cost to put a semi decent bartop together?
I've thought about it once or twice, might actually go and do something about it

Well you can get a bartop flatpack for around £100 on ebay, delivery prob expensive. After that either an rPi or old cheapo windows system and ex-office cheapo monitor on adverts would fit the bill nicely, plus knobs and buttons also from ebay, I'd say you'd be talking €250-300 total.
