Ha! I know I showed ninja, meant to show you as well. I ended up just taking shortcuts. That is a BLAZE twinstick (the SE, not the mini). Not terribly common, but the PSX BLAZE is in fact common, and can be used too, just need adapters if using it on SAT or DC, etc.SpoonyBard wrote:I meant to ask the same thing. Can't believe I let the weekend pass without looking at that Tetris cab! Does that mount on there? Or is it just resting on top? I've been wanting to put something together for 6-button games (especially after last weekend) and that seems like an easy way to cut out a lot of work getting a panel to fit.thatdanGguy wrote:What was involved in grafting on that candy style CP to your tetris cab?
I removed the original panel and just cut a custom one out of plywood and painted it. The panel top is 3/4" wider than the actual stick, so then I cut a 3/4" band of plywood and mounted that on top, it's a pretty good cut, so it acts as a good brace, the stick is in there, but yeah, it can be removed. The entire panel can swing open if needed, it's mounted via 6 swing hinges.
I just have a standard monitor, and a dreamcast in there. The dreamcast is in the old coin door (so it takes 3 seconds to open and switch games). and the controller cables drop in and underneath when I open up the panel, really clean look. Currently hooked up via s-video, but going to get a JNX VGA cable w/SLG so it feels like a legit arcade cab.
Yeah, I had everything but the puzzle mahjong game or whatever it is and Cyberbots. Even had Rockman 1 (extremely rare on cps2, extremely common on cps1). At the time I had convinced myself I couldn't get my kick harness wired correctly so sold all the fighters and then sold the shooters too, for some reason. I had convinced myself the SAT/DC ports were as good...but they just aren't for the most part. I'm close to a full set again, but I won't shell out $450 for Rockman 1 again, which is what I sold it for.
