That is awesome

I think it's rubbish!

I only say that coz i'm super jealous

That really does look awesome! I'd love to be able to play all my favourite old arcade games on a proper cabinet. Something like splatterhouse would be ace on that.

Very cool indeed.

Is the screen CRT or TFT?

Wow. Where did you get it?

fergie666 · 23 Sep 2010 at 10:54

Thanks for all the kind words guys

Here is a picture of me holding the original Paperboy board that I took out of the cabinet. Wonder if it'll run Crysis ?

I found the broken Paperboy arcade machine locally on Gumtree, I then stripped it and built it back up using a PC and CRT monitor

That looks awesome, so jealous!

The size of that board in the last picture :eek:

Will have to subscribe on your own channel, fergie, some good stuff their.

Andr3w · 23 Sep 2010 at 11:41

Thats brilliant, the original board is HUGE

Mr Latte · 23 Sep 2010 at 11:53

Forgot to say Fergie, it would be great to continue this and show us more on the front end when you get it all sorted. For me Id maybe be interested in a steering wheel arcade unit, or Daytona and other classics yet know very little about much of this.

Wyrdo · 23 Sep 2010 at 12:07

That is really cool, good job!

And lol at the size of the original board.

The guy I got the Paperboy cabinet off, had an upright Super Monaco GP cabinet also, it wasn't working but it was complete. Great base for a conversion : )

Will continue the vids on the front end once I have the latest version of Maximus Arcade installed : )

Cheers
