Building my first MAME cabinet. I scored a Golden Tee '99 cab from a local thrift store for only $25! It didn't work, that's why they let it go so cheap. Got it home, plugged it in, nothing. Luckily it had the keys with it, opened the back, and the plug was disconnected from the power supply. Plugged that back in and it worked!
Digging around in the cab, which was just plain black, I saw that it started life as a Killer Instinct. Was stoked, but alas, all that artwork was destroyed when whomever in the past converted it to the GT'99.
Decided to try to strip the paint off, and lo and behold, the original artwork was intact! Ordered a new OE marquee and CPO, some Happ controls, etc. Making big progress on it, I should be up and running in just a few more weeks. I got a JAMMA to USB interface and an ArcadeVGA to drive the W-G monitor.

Well I don't like that. Original cabs/parts are getting harder and harder to come by not to ment-
>it's a golden tee
I have no problem with this
>oh shit! It's actually a KI!!
How cool is that? Congrats anon.

I want to be able to play more than one game. So sue me. At least I'll still be able to play KI.
Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. I'm restoring the cabinet back to it's former glory. The only thing I won't have is the actual KI Jamma board.
I'm not hacking it up at all. I actually saved it from being a wretched fucking Golden Tee. Besides, being Jamma, if I ever want to sell it as an original cab, go on eBay, get the board, plug it in and ride. It would take literally 10 minutes to do that, only because I'd have to re-wire the kick harness.

I just started playing Dungeon Master. Seems fun, but I am not very good at it. Any tips for someone new to the genre?

That's a composite cable shader.

The PAL version is a joke. Even the music is unoptimized and runs slower, which shows how little effort was put into it considering most 8-16 PAL conversions, even if running slower, at least had the musics right.

that's not even what it looks like on a genesis

I thought sonic team learned their lesson while making nights into dreams that free roaming in a complete 3D environment is horribly disorienting and difficult to control which is why they eventually set it along a 2D plane? then why did every 3D sonic since go back to the free roaming shit?

Was it ever explained what the fuck Big Whoop actually was? I tried playing the Telltale games but found them painfully boring so I stopped by the second episode.
Not that it really matters anyway, since everything after 2 is just progressively worse fanfiction.

Anyone else who's favorite game is generally considered bad or disappointing by most people?
I don't even bring mine up anymore most of the time because I'm tired of the same "how can you like that game?" and "that game sucked" comments.

Well, let's hear it OP.

Naming my favorite game would make this thread about that game. The point of the topic is having a favorite game that is generally disliked.
>>
I like ff8 for its mechanics, tone rebellion, and chaos legion (not vr , though). All those games have fun systems, but feel unpolished to most people.

Hey /vr
I just finished loading up RetroPie on an old and otherwise useless Microsoft Surface. I totally wiped out the Windows 10 OS and installed Ubuntu then added the RetroPie as well as Kodi and some other stuff. One of the best things that has been changed is the battery life went from about 3 hours with Windows to 9 hours with Ubuntu. Thoughts?

Hey guys,
Just wondering what your favorite games are that you can beat in one sitting, or just an afternoon.
Looking for some to play with a mate when he visits, preferably SNES games.
One of mine is Super Mario on Super Mario All Star.

If PSX is an option, the original Resident Evil.
If SNES is what we've got, try Doom, Mario Kart, Street Fighter 2 or Final Fight 3.
>>
>>4196229
Megaman X is a personal favorite of mine. I like the other two on SNES as well, but the first one is nice and simple, and I have all of it down solid. Good afternoon killer right there, even if final Sigma gives me some trouble here and there

Fuck Sega and Nintendo for baiting us with their new mini-consoles and then under-supplying to get all that free publicity for what turns out top be crappy little emulators in substandard casings. Wankers.
.
I'm buying a 3D printer to make my own. The only problem is I'm a tech-retard and I don't want to miss anything when build it.
So I was going to make either a scaled down original style Japanese Megedrive with a Mega CD unit underneath to put a hard-drive in, or a Japanese style snes and I'll design a mock cd unit for underneath, similar to the pic I posted.
What would /vr/ build?
What computer shall I install in it? rasberri pi or strip an old laptop (then I might also install some sort of flip out screen?)
Any and all advice welcome

If you just want a SNES/Gen machine then a Pi would do. Otherwise I'd build a mini-ITX PC with a proper case and maybe get some ornaments or shit made out of resin or plastic or w/e they use and paste them over the case if you really want that old console aesthetic. There's a big PC case modding scene and they've done things more far out than "old console", maybe google that stuff for inspiration.
