Video Game "Look what I found"

I do have a couple cabs, yeah. But, I actually play these on a consolized PGM board:

Very fun (and unported) games.

Oh you have got to post a full review, never heard of this.

I put a post about in in my gameroom thread - 4p support using anything w/a neo input (composite and s-video out).

I very much enjoy oddities and one-offs. I have a CMVS but those are becoming fairly common. I also have a consolized Atomiswave.

I've thought about a consolized Taito F3 system, but i'm not sure there are enough solid games to justify it.

I may at some point do review of the PGM library. There is so much great stuff and almost none of it is available anywhere but MAME and then the actual Arcade carts.

How much did you pay for the consolized Atomiswave if I may ask?...

And where did you get it?...

[mjmjr25]

The one we are talking about right now is a consolized PGM - right around $400.
The consolized atomiswave was $550.

Cost will be determined by cost of a motherboard (Neo 1 slot, PGM, and Atomiswave) all are in the $100 range, little less on neo, little more on atomis.

Then you're paying for the input connectors, the AV out options (the more options, the more it costs), and then depends how nice you want it (casing). So right around $200-300 is the cost of parts, then it's just labor and casing materials.

They pop up on more arcade-y forums - they can be bought on ebay as well:

Ouch, didn't see that one coming. I was thinking more like 250 bucks. But seeing as the parts already cost more than that, it's not gonna happen. Anyways, I know nothing about arcade hardware. So I will have to educate myself a little more first...

EDIT Just found this one on eBay:

ARCADE SUPERGUN JAMMA PCB CONSOLIZED NEO GEO MVS ATOMISWAVE ST-V CPS2 NAOMI PGM

So I guess a supergun is a consolized arcade board, and I only need this and a JAMMA connector to play certain arcade games on a monitor?... Shit, I'm totally wrong. I just know it... lol

Yeah, that dude is an odd guy, but he will sell it to you off ebay at a slight discount.

That is a 2p only setup of course. It doesn't have component out, which is something most of us would want, but looks to have RGB which is what you'd use I imagine, so that's good.

The major drawback, aside from looking very utilitarian is that the JAMMA connector (where you'd insert your board) is built right into the system and not attached to a harness, though you could by a an extension harness.

So yes, that should play anything w/a JAMMA edge. So, bare PCB's you could play, anything like Atomiswave / F3 / MVS / PGM / CPS2, you would need a motherboard which plugs into the JAMMA connector, and then buy carts individually.

You could prob offer him $225 shipped off of ebay, paypal goods to EUR and my guess is he'd bite.

You can email him via his site (his email is on there). http://www.iinventgadgets.com/

Like I said though, he's a bit odd, be prepared for very short (and perhaps non-sensical) replies, but he will do a deal.

I have a find today. Found a guy on craigslist with an Atari Lynx with Ninja Gaiden, Gauntlet, gates of zendocan, and Shadow of the beast. He wanted $20 or would trade for ds games. I had an extra copy of Contra 4 sealed that I got at target on clearance for $5. He lived out in north Kc but he was willing to meet me like 10 minutes away from my house at a Quick Trip gas station. Pics up later.

Good haul, but too bad the Pikachu N64 doesn't have the expansion slot cover.
