    Just added pics so you guys could know what I'm talking about:







    This is super mario world, instead of starting normally you just play out in zones.'








    My goal is going to be simple; basically modify it to be a nintendo/mario cabinet. Yes I can use mame, or a pc hooked up and emulator but for $300 complete it saves a complete hassle and and basically its a super nintendo cabinet!

    If you don't yet have an account over at KLOV, by all means create one and get a sound drubbing over there for wanting modify a unique dedicated cabinet.

    Either way, you'll get much more info over there.

    thanks for the link I will check them out.

    I'm still debating on purchasing it, but I think I will I see it as a great marketing tool, and I can also eventually retrofit it to run a PC/PS2/Xbox one

    They have one of these cabs at the newly-opened Pinball Wizard in Pelham, NH! It's so quirky I couldn't help but play a circuit of F-Zero on it...
    Feels weird playing an arcade cabinet with a D-pad, but overall it's pretty cool!

    Yes please don't destroy this cabinet! There are plenty of collectors on KLOV that will give you 3 empty dynamo cabinets for that unique machine!

    Please... don't buy that cabinet. There are PLENTY of Dynamo generic cabinets out there that you can hack the shit... leave the dedicated cabinets... well... dedicated.

    Please.

    Please do not hack this things up! I would love to add one of these to my collection, especially for only $300. You can easily get something else running in an already empty cabinet, like a dynamo.

    This is the exact same cabinet I used to play on the ferry boat and at Funplex when I was a kid. I read somewhere that they were intended to be used only in Japan but it appears that it is more common in the USA than people imagine. A lot of us got to play on these things.

    Too bad the versions of MAME that run on Xbox, Wii and the Ouya don't support this rom. These Nintendo Super System Roms were not added to the set until later, so these older console versions will say files are missing. I downloaded a full matching rom pack but these games were not even included.

    I hope maybe someday I could save up for a house so I'd have room to collect cool things such as these. (and more games for what I actually do have)

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
