I saw a Street Fight II machine for $500 in the Quokka last week. Apparantly arcade machines with orginal "moves sheet" for games like sf2 are getting to be collectors items, so the prices are higher than usual.

Might be an idea to build a MAME cabinet and run what ever game you want .

Jojo told me about the new buisness venture. Sounds like fun, good luck!

I just download MAME for free and find ROMS on the net, all the nostalgia without the cost.

yeah i would say build a cabinet to house a monitor (LCD maybe), and run a old PC with MAME.

it shouldnt be hard to script a program with a menu so that it looks like the real deal + you have all the games at your fingertips with upgrade capabilities.

why do you want one pal?

Yep, I have done this & it's the go. I believe Leisure & Allied Industries are based in Perth & can steer you in the right direction for a cabinet.

Do a search for & you should get quite a few DIY pages if you're so inclined.

if its for a busines you may have to look into the licensing and legality of using a PC with roms off the net for profit
