Arcade Thread

nowadays theres not many cabinets other than full body experiences or other kind of machines that you cant easily replicate in home systems.

ive seen a few half arcade cabinets for around 300€ empty
is that a good price? I wonder if its worth buying one if it doesnt even have coin box

damn im thinking of trying something like that with a tiny CRT at my workplace if my boss lets me have it

And I wonder why no one will make a Raspberry Pi style microcomputer that outputs a 15.7 KHz signal so I can put my 8" PVM in my car with its 12v DC input.

well at least theres the Banana Pi wich i believe has VGA.
whats the target audience of a 30€ mini computer when it requires a 100€ HDMI screen ? other than bored geeks

why do the japanese arcades have 2 player mode in different cabinets instead of having both player controls on the same cabinet? and how does this system work?
Best regards

yeah i know x-arcade is garbage, im planning on using 1 or 2 USB sticks if i do embark on the journey of making an arcade cabinet

I wonder if Linux can make it spit out low-frequency progressive signals like 224p, 240p, 256p, 288p etc.

They became popularized around the time SF2CE was released. I'm guessing they give each player more room to maneuver and makes their actions less predictable to their opponents.
