MVS is so damn cool!! Congrats on the new cab, didn't you just paint up your other machine a little while back? I also just wandered into a glorious 4 slot cabinet with 4 games in it.

interesting the 100 game cart doesn't work. The cool ass guy I bought it from is a big time vendor and said he could get me the newest 100ish game cart at cost. I'll do some reading but I don't think its a compatibility problem.

How is the condition on your cabinet? Mine is a legit SNK cabinet with working headphone, memory card, lighted 4 slot marquee. My main board has a crummy solder on the interconnect between the 2 main boards. Causes a video problem every time I reboot but just re-seat it and its all good.

550 is ok if its in perfect condition. my 6-slot was $200 with 6 games but the cabinet was in crap condition. as for the 100 cart, sell that and get some real games. there really arent that many good ones anyways and mvs carts arent that bad in price. after buying 50+ carts and playing thru all of them, i only kept about 12. also, dont believe the hype for pulstar and blazing star, theyre not good.

Right now I have Art OF fighting, Metal Slug, World Heros and Samurai Showdown 4 in it.
Congrats man, that is awesome news.

I need to try your tactic of just asking store owners if they will sell their cabs. I could see how that could actually work.

You don't know anybody that's got a truck? I didn't either when I bought mine, but we managed to fit it in the back of a friend's SUV. I don't suggest trying that, but it's a possible way to handle it.

The only reason I don't own a truck is because I'm afraid all my friends will ask me to help them move.

my moms boyfriend has a nice big truck, but i just dont know where to put it in my house, plus getting it in will be a huge challenge, my front porch has tons of steps and my backyard is all sand and it would be a bitch to drag a dolly with that cab on it through that kinda crap.

maybe next week i can afford a $4 slot, i could buy a 2 slot right now, but the bigger the better!
