I still have yet to see one of them rotated vertically in person. Must look absolutely huge!

People are probably sick to death of me posting pics of my own cab now but we completely moved the sitting room around today. Manged to get a **** load more space around the candy. Was finally able to take a proper photo of the whole thing.

I think I watched a porno that was filmed there

I see you managed to prevent her covering the candy in Christmas lights this time. :P

That's similar to the type of comment I used to get when taking photos of consoles. Ciderman used to call them 'boudoir shoots'.

Funny thing is, they were taken in my old apartment.

Why does every house I live in end up looking like a porno set?

Yeah got it off Ronnie, he added the ps360 for 95€, could have hacked a pad myself but I just wanted everything working when it landed. Had to take the front door of the apt of the hinges to get it in. Worth it though

I have the Hori arcade stick for the 360 that i can gut for the 2 player. That Toshiba trisync looks sweet. Looking forward to hooking up the dreamcast for some lightgun axion too.

:eek: easier than taking the control panel off? Or is it a bit of an issue to remove from one of them?

Excellent! Can't wait to see some photos of that

I'll still too afraid to rotate my one. Raiden 2, Mercs and Game Paradise sitting there unloved!

Nice one, I was looking for those stools after Casy120 posted pictures of similar white ones he has a while back. They really look great.

Would love to know how that goes. I've been deliberating for a long time about rotating mine. Old post on AO has some handy tips.

Actually the white one looks pretty cool.
Buy a couple and stick a few TAITO stickers on them and that would look pretty good beside my Egret 3.

They only seem to have purple and red at the moment and if you buy instore they are 49€ each.

Hey o1s1n, you need to get at least one of those red stools for your boudoir/sex cave

Already thinking about it

Anyone ever consider a two seater type bench? This looks pretty nice. Expensive though -

Lol dude you're edging closer and closer to this:

o1s1n

Here's Casey120's egg stools, hope he doesn't mind me reposting his image. Just to show you how cool they look with a sticker.



And here is why, no matter h0w much you want one, you should never buy original arcade stools from Japan

Ahhh how did you manage to get one of those ps360 boards..they seem to be like gold dust.
Also are you running the 360 with out a Jamma board attached.
I've heard With out the board taking the load your PSU will give up the ghost fairly quickly

Not sure about the load as the jamma converter seems to be an extra.

For a Mame machine? Nah....

Why don't you need an OS for a mame machine? I know you can change the shell in windows to your emulator but that still requires the OS running in the background. How do I boot straight into mame, and wouldn't that leave me other issues like my keyboard emulator and other OS dependent hardware not working?

I think he meant more along the lines of 'forking out' for an OS...

Perhaps one might procure an ISO file from the internets, all illegal like for such a machine :eek:

Ah. Well that's different then. I was coming at it from a purely technical angle. Doing something like that just wouldn't occur to me. I can't imagine ripping off a quality software vendor like Microsoft. Their pricing is so reasonable and they care so much about their customer base...

*sarcasm detector explodes*

Casey120

Or buy one of these !

CiDeRmAn

So, lads, how much do these beauties cost?
Seems to be the one piece of information that is missing!
That and links to the places they are bought!
Is this information so closely guarded?
O1s1ns cab looks perfect tbh.
Would it be possible or advisable to shoehorn a 6 button setup in there?

Casey120

The Egg stools are sold in a lot of places, they use to sell them at Ikea but I didn't saw them the last time I was there .
Prices range from € 15,- to € 30,- , that's ex the Ebay sticker :pac:

They vary in price, Ronnie seems to be the easiest to get in touch with

http://www.rklok.com/

http://www.neo-legend.com/ they quoted 290€ shipping, Ronnie is 195€

TechnoFreek

Jeff is around 125 sterling shipping.

It really depends what you're looking for. Here's one annoying fact about them - the smaller the cab, the harder they are to come by (and in some situations, more expensive)

Things with a 29 inch monitor like Astros, Atomiswaves, Egrets and New Net Cities are some of the easiet to come by. They look small enough in pictures, but believe me, they're still big machines. Don't have the height of a woody cab, but they sure make up for it in girth - an Astro you'll probably need to take the door off the hinges for. (or else learn how to strip the whole thing down)

An Atomiswave should cost in the region of 700-800. Although I know Jeff had some for sale recently for a bit less. (possibly around 650?).

If you have the space though, they're amazing.

If you don't have the space, then you obviously need to go smaller. This is when you really have to play a waiting game and may have to break out a little more money.

My one for example has a 25 inch monitor, which really impacts on the footprint and the cab is a good deal smaller than the 29 inch ones above. It's still a big enough yolk though, but fits through doors as is without need for disassembly.

From what I remember I think it was around 700 or 800 euro. Shipping cost 195 from the Netherlands. A big industrial type step down transformer was 40 or 50.

So whichever way you go, you're probably talking about the guts of a grand after postage if you go via Jeff or Ronnie.

If you want to go smaller again, there are Capcom Cutes and Neo 19s (19 inch monitors) - but as far as rarity goes, things of that size are an absolute bitch to get your hands on.
