Horrible MAMEcabs

[Boredom]

Maybe it's a really confusing mahjong controller.

 

[Jeneki]

Maybe you play the game by flipping the controller on the floor, and the buttons detect how it rolls around.

 

[ballzdeepx]

It's perfect except I would have ported in a fleshlight instead of the side joysticks. Nothin like playin mame while bricking in a piece of kit at the same time.

don't have room for a shitty mame cab?

need to play mame at your desktop yet you want to keep the shitty cab experience?

no problem!

 

[Jassin000]

Wow! Now I really have seen it all...

Seems like they could have squeezed in a 3" trackball onto the backside of that beast as well, dual benefit of being able to roll it across the floor easily.

Another bikini-clad woman advertising a below average cab that also does MAME? Say it ain't so!

the builder couldn't even use carriage bolts for the joysticsk... does it come with a pair of left gloves ?

 

[ballzdeepx]

Wow its the same girl from earlier, glad shes still jammin on that jamma. Ya know that stick a few posts up with the 500 buttons was probably designed for a new fork of MAME called MIME. multiple input machine emulator, for those that just want to input. It looks like a cash register from the early 1900s.

A high-end MAME cab

 

[Jeneki]

Hmm, it sounds more like a 60-in-1 board than mame. But yeah, that design is definitely not for me.

I believe that was taken off a movie set.

"MOMA deserving design"

This is an actual design that the MOMA felt was deserving of exhibition. Do you think that is a compliment?



One player only with two buttons? That vertical screen is perfect for Batrider, too bad ya can't play it!

 

[SNKorSWM]

Two buttons? That's perfect for Divekick. XD

 

[trenog]

With this cab you can finally pretend to play pinball!

 

[SNKorSWM]

Might as well add some crazy tilt to make the experience more surreal.

 

[Boredom]

I can't think of any video pinball games that use an actual plunger, can you? How would you even rig one up for digital input?

I was gonna say "Game Over, indeed," but then I realized he has a flipped "NOT" between the words. Maybe a ten year old would find that clever.

 

[cornerstone]

Yeah, why don't the "NOT" in the marquee and side art match? The side art is completely upside-down.

Holy shit that looks heavy.

 

[trenog]

Hey dudes, we can ALL play on this cabinet

 

[cornerstone]

Found this on the KLOV forum today....



I can't actually say it's a mame cab for sure, but I just don't think the Tekken 1 CP art, the Tekken 3 marquee, and the giant shopping cart sized control panel is being used for just Puzzle Bobble. Someone mentioned it previously being a light gun game. It must have taken a forklift to move.

This is bad, like really bad....If a showcase cab and a woody had a retarded baby, this is what it would look like.

 

[skinny503]

I thought that was a sit down driving cab at first......

Things have actually taken a turn for the interesting. It seems as though this was a cabinet design that was actually produced or at least prototyped, along with a few others, from an independent company.

Since I know everyone here are such big fans of xarcade,



Enjoy proper Metal Slug, widescreen the way it was intended, with glowing lights to distract you.

And hey you can kick it all you want with those metal plates (just avoid the glass on the side). Or maybe to mix it with DDR?
