Maybe if it was MvC 1 (the good one).

>>9151181
That's honestly not a terrible selection. I'm shocked.

>>9151184
smartest /vr/ user

Fans have been campaigning for a MvC2 re-release for ages, so they stick it on a stupid plywood emubox with shitty parts for $600. Fuck you Disney/Capcom.

>>9151181
It's not for playing. It's for buying. How do you still not get it?

>>9151220
If it's for buying then buy something worth looking at.

There are several cabinet kits you can buy online for less than $600 which would beat this thing in every way. Some of them will let you use a 19" PC CRT, which would be perfect for MVC2.

>inb4 but I'm a dimwit who just wants to consooooooom instead of turning a few allen wrenches and plugging a few connectors together

>>9151181
For 1000 USD I build a 2/3 size MAME/RetroArch cabinet, popped in a RGB CRT monitor, using a APU based computer with RGB out, USB multi-control arcade controllers, stereo speakers with amp.

>>9151256
It's not for looking at. It's for buying. You buy it and coom, and then be sad again until you do another buying.

>>9151272
Why 2/3? Are you smol?

>>9151184
>>9151198
Pathetic samefag

>>9151184
Oh actually I see it has it now, probably still cheaper to buy a dreamcast.

>>9151286
Comfy to use while sitting, also fits perfectly with 14" 15kHz CRT RGB monitors.

I don't really care about MvC2, I don't even use a 480p CRT. But you could for a similar price and it will do a lot more and use an actual CRT.

Yeah they were cool when they were $250-$300. I don't know what they did to them to think people want all this extra shit in them that make them $600.

Acrade1up is cancer bullshit. Thanks for finding more ways to gatekeep non-rich people from playing retro games you scum
All of this would be fine if they just released collections on the consoles at the same time, instead it's just "want to play this retro game without buying a Dreamcast? Haha you cant, you can barely pay rent you shithead. You don't deserve Mahvel"

>>9151723
If you are not able to afford 600 why are you buying games in the first place ? The best way to play marvel 2 is flycast on fightcade And that’s free.

>>9151730
>If you are not able to afford 600 why are you buying games in the first place
Honestly the dumbest shit I've read in weeks, also you're intentionally missing the point because you're a cunt

>>9151551
They allow Fightcade to continue to exist.
You should thank them for that.

I just want someone to make a flat pack kit that will go together to make an empty shell in the shape of a Japanese candy cabinet that will fit a 19" CRT television or monitor.
This isn't hard to make
>ackshually it is anon because candy cabs have curves
Shush. You know not of what you speak.

>>9151268
How much is the aprox budget for this?

>>9151181
I'mma buy it just to spite you.

>>9151181
Poor

>>9151872
In taste

>>9151356
at least put scuff marks and scratches all over it
Original arcades usually need repair
The CRT's alone most of the time at bare minimum need capacitor change

>>9151872
It's exactly because I don't buy garbage like this that I'm not poor

>>9151837
You know you can get this shit made yourself if you use CAD and get it made by a sheet metal shop

>>9151181
All the MVC2 cabinets around me I remember had the controls out front almost free-standing away from the screen which had 2 huge speakers to the sides. It was the standard cabinet type for a lot of fighting games I played back then for Project Justice, CVS2, and all the games listed there but not in that style of cabinet. I vaguely remember the screen or glass was curved trinitron-style (cylindrical). What was that cabinet styled called? I want one for those games. It is cool the rights were allowed for the game to be available again for backwards compatibility.

>>9151181

>>9151998

Please don't tell me you actually did this.

>>9152036
It's a pretty direct port of the original NAOMI game because NAOMI games are easily ported to Dreamcast. PS2 and Xbox versions were dismissed by comp players (and most fans) for not being completely arcade accurate

>>9152036
All the other ports are inaccurate and have ugly graphics

>>9151181
>WIFI PLAY!
Is there seriously no ethernet connection? If you pay 600 burgers for this you need to deal with everyone lagging or disconnecting and need to put the cabinet near a router or whatever?

>>9152414
Europe also used bat top. Today europe is the main manufacturer of bat tops. Poorcel regions outside of asia also used bat tops.

>>9151734
How am I missing the point, we already have a free way to play mvc2 online, faggots like you begging for a shit port to waste money on is the reason the lobby is dead. Like vsav faggots all over again, love anything to do with the game except actually playing it noob

>>9151181
can some fightingfags explain to me why MvC2 is so popular?
Is it because of the capeshit?
I tried playing it for dreamcast and I just don't see why you'd ever play that over something like Garou or Soul Calibur, outside of the novelty of playing a bunch of Marvel characters

>>9152515
Wacky unbalanced bullshit with bright flashy lights and colors, peak zoomie ADHD

Is Flycast the best way to play this?

>>9152436
It isn’t the 1980s anymore. WiFi is more than any game could need.

>>9152553
>WiFi is more than any game could need.
this is bait. there is a reason players in fightcade for example get marked with an "!" if they use wifi instead of a cable. shit is unplayable for everyone. you must have really low standards if you cant tell the difference.

>>9152553
No, especially when many people would want to put this in a garage, basement, or other place that's not the middle of their home, or even have a soundproofed room for games / music. If someone's got a bigger setup then you end up with a shitload of devices all on the wifi. Many otherwise first-world countries also have deliberately shit internet, not to mention people that live out in rural areas and don't have access to the best internet so the wifi stinks. For 600 dollars you should have an ethernet option. You're going to be playing this with a small group of people who all bought the same expensive set, and going to have to settle for playing with people pretty distant and with shit internet.

>>9152090
I wonder how often you play your collections, i think the time i find the SMS scart, the controller ,plug on tv , power cord, find a game to play etc, i would just give up already, sometimes just browsing my retroarch playlists i got bored, couldn't imagine dealing with all this shit.

>>9152587
Not him, but you have to decide on one game at a time, and decide beforehand, then play it to completion. Otherwise shit is a mess and no matter what it's not as fun as you're not really getting into a game and focusing on it.

The ONLY reason why people like MvC2 is because of the fuckhuge roster. The game is a broken mess with shitty stages, bland and out of place music, and a retarded OC boss.

You're referring to a showcase cabinet.

>>9152036
It's actually arcade-perfect-er in a way
I remember pros complaining that they couldn't mash Storm's super out as hard on the DC version because there was less lag there than on arcade

>>9152429
What were the issues with the PS2 and Xbox ports anyways?

>>9151181
i've built an arcade machine for around 1000€, using a sff i5 comp with its own distro for mame.
it it's possible to mod that shit, it's not that expensive.
this said, the decoration is horrendous

>>9152025
While I agree, most people hated that version and preferred it on PS2. I remember everyone was cheering on MVC2 tournaments when they smashed up Dreamcasts at the end of streams back around 2004-2006 because they hated them.

>>9152090
Yeah, thanks to Capcom, they got me interested in characters like Psylocke and Rogue. Capcom has always known how to design characters catering to my tastes I did not know I had.

>>9153139
YES!! That is it! I would love to have those but I don't have the money nor the space to house one, but I can only dream when I win the lottery, so I'll try to remember "showcase cabinet". That is how a MVC2 cabinet should look like. The one in OP's picture looks more like a Mortal Kombat cabinet than the ones that housed MVC2/Tekken 3/Project Justice. I think there was another kind of cabinet with a larger (guessing it was projection screen) with free-standing controls in front that I remember seeing MVC1/X-Men Vs. Street Fighter housed in (it might even be the same as the cabinet for Mad Dog McCree), I remember the speakers were underneath the viewing area, which would be more suitable a look than the cabinet OP features.

>>9151495
did you expect them to start the manufacture of crt again just for some cheap arcade.

>>9154785
>While I agree, most people hated that version and preferred it on PS2. I remember everyone was cheering on MVC2 tournaments when they smashed up Dreamcasts at the end of streams back around 2004-2006 because they hated them.
Nobody hated the version of the game, it's objectively best on Dreamcast (arguably to this day), they just were annoyed that they had to keep using shitty old Dreamcasts nobody cared about anymore

>>9154793
Ps3 and 360 versions of mvc2 added "QOL" changes and removed glitches that everyone liked making them worthless for tournaments.

>>9151181
>MVC2 and a bunch of marvel fighters
if i was the kind of person who would buy these this is one i'd probably get. my main gripe with these is that it's usually and odd or random selection of games.

>>9154815
>removed glitches that everyone liked making them worthless for tournaments.
if glitches are all it takes for you to win EVO then you don't deserve to win EVO.

>>9154785

couldnt you build an actual MAME cabinet with a crt for half that price? obviously you need to build the wood cabinet itself but im pretty sure you can even buy that off people online, etsy or something along those lines.

The Japanese versions are actually worse, unlocking things is a pain in the ass because there's additional currencies you could only get by playing online over dial-up and playing in the arcade with your VMU. PS2 dropped the arcade currency but still required playing online; the Xbox version is the only Japanese console version to use a single currency like the US version, because it had no online multiplayer.

>>9151184
It includes MvC1.

>>9151998
There's no single name for it since several manufacturers made them in different styles and for numerous companies, but I do know that they're meant to be frontrunner cabinets for big earners and are there to garner as much attention as possible.
Midway called theirs the "Showcase" model.

>>9151551
Anon, Capcom doesn't have the Marvel License. Arcade 1Up weirdly does. Also it's bullshit that there's no crossplay for the fighting game collection.

>>9152036
MvC2's hardware is based off of the Dreamcast itself, and more importantly there's zero frames lost and the game behaves 99.99999% the same as it does in the arcade. Only difference was you had to legitimately unlock characters in the Dreamcast, whereas in the arcades you could just ask an attendant to put in the cheat codes through the service menu. Also you had to use the Dreamcast controller if you didn't have a stick, it was really shitty when I think back on it.

>>9151551
They don't, they just know they can make money off dumb nerds, and that purists would complain about it no matter what they did

>>9151181
I bought the MK2 cabinet on sale at wal martfor 200 dollars and it's actually been a blast. There are cheap kits to make them mame machines if I want to down the line. But I might not. Fuck it.

>>9154785

>shoves in cvs into picture

>>9160156
"Showcase" is the generic term for them. It's similar to how "Candy" was the name of a specific model of Japanese sit-down machine, but ended up becoming a universal term for the things just because people didn't have anything better to call them.

>>9151584

Yes indeed, my fellow legitimate anon 4channel user!
No true owner who paid an economical 600 dollars for this reproduction cabinet with a beautiful LCD screen, fantastic sound and tournament-grade controls would ever complain about anything and would be perfectly satisfied while waiting to play one of the other 2-5 people possibly online out of the STACKED userbase of 50+ hardcore gamers over a reliable wi-fi connection!

Exactly what I, as another completely unbiased party much like yourself, was thinking! If anyone had the money, they would indeed buy this! It's the best possible decision you can make with your money! Only about 50 gamers will have enough to purchase this fine unit, so make sure you cycle through all the games on the hardware when searching for another player who is online! Be one of the elite few to be able to afford this top of the line piece of history!

Nice Reddit spacing, but the argument was never about affordability, it's that it's overpriced for an inferior version of what is already available, aka better screens, better online, not locked into using wi-fi, better controllers, better sound, etc.
You're either a shill or trying to cope with your purchase. In the event you actually bought one of these, maybe it's for you, but it's not for me or others, but if you enjoy it, that's good. I'll pass and discuss why I am passing.

>>9160805
I think you're underestimating how many people buy these. You can get them at fucking Walmart. I see people in buy/sell/trade groups selling these all the time and they pretty much always get a fair a bit of interest. I've never played one so I can't speak to the quality but it seems like quite a few folks love the idea of turning a room of their home into a mini arcade.

>>9152436
i know wifis gonna be worse than connected no matter what but I heard that the netcode on these is supposed to be fairly decent, dunno how true it is but eh

>>9161630
It comes off as a shill post if you end it with a 1970's infommerical phrase like
>it seems quite a few folks love the idea of turning a room into a mini arcade!
Anyways, in the event you're not a shill, I'd love to see the sales or an online report for stuff like this. Most sites like Walmart have only a small amount of reviews for the units and they also come off as astroturf, but even then, if they are legit you have to wonder the appeal of MvC2 for 600 dollars in the current day and how many serious players will get it and how long they will play it for. Besides all my other issues this would be my biggest concern. If the company can show proof their online shit actually has a sustained userbase then that would be good.
>>9161795
I would hope so, but they need to put an ethernet port in.

>>9153124
>The machines were not scratched and scuffed when arcades were in their prime.
They absolutely were. The area around the controls were always covered in burn marks since people chains smoked as they played and laid their lit cigarettes above the buttons. People also routinely carved their initials in them (the same 3 letters they use for entering high scores, often words like ASS or FUK, or drug references that teens thought were hilarious like LSD or POT). You routinely saw these in high score lists and also carved on the side of the cabinet or down low around the coin door.

Crowds of teenagers gathered around the machines in their heyday and graffiti was inevitable, especially if the arcade operator couldn't see. My own tekken 2 cabinet has "LSD" carved in the side of it.

>>9161851
oh for sure, lack of ethernet is definitely weird considering it shouldn't cost too much extra to slap one in but whatever I guess, as long as the wifi is functional. as far as playerbase goes, the best youll probably get is word of mouth from people who actually own em. i heard the mvc ones only tend to have decent player counts for mvc and xmen, seems like MSH and MVSF for example are doing too hot because they're locked to respective cabinets. since they're compiling all the games into one cabinet player counts will probably be a bit healthier overall, but I imagine youll still struggle a bit with certain games

>>9161630
You're not wrong about their popularity, and I got one so I'm contributing to what a lot of people here hate, but as far as turning a room into an arcade: I kinda better like the idea of the wall hanging models. If they had more versions of those, ones with more/more advanced games I would've gotten that instead. And I might gotten two since I have more space for it (assuming I could play MP over network with them).
Just seems like a better fit for a product like this for people like me that don't mind some novelty shit.

Still might mod mine into a mame machine, but it's nice to just be able to slap it together and have it working instead of having another project to do.

>>9160986
Maximum dunning-kruger moment, anon.
MVC2 runs in 640x480. The same for most other NAOMI and Atomiswave games.
A PC CRT (preferably 19" screen size or larger) is a perfectly valid monitor choice for an arcade cabinet.

>>9161857
You're referring to the days around the early 90s in the fighting game boom. That's not really the prime of the arcade imo. Also that was more of a convenience store and bowling alley situation you're describing. Or smaller arcades next to liquor stores.

Big budget arcades you'd get into deep shit for laying your cigarette on the cabinet or carving into them.

I'd really like to know the sales numbers on the different Arcade1up units. I dare say the MVC2 one could end up selling more units in the USA than real NAOMI units were sold in the same country.

>>9160262
$200 is fairly reasonable for what you get.
You should definitely MAME it. It's very easy.

>>9160739
I've owned real cabinets, pal.
My first thought when I saw an arcade1up in person "you have got to be joking" in regards to how tiny they really are. They are not even sit-down cabinets. They are not even as big as early gen Japanese cabinets. They are literally kid sized.

just look at this shit

r8 pls

>>9151842
To be quite honest with you sempai you would be better off buying a couple of really nice fight sticks and a big CRT.

>>9162174
Some arcades were seriously sketchy in the mid 80s. We frequently had copcars show up at my local arcade looking for local troublemakers. Nothing serious, mostly minor drug dealers and people who skipped their court dates for vandalism and shoplifting etc.

This arcade was a meeting place for a local fence who handled a lot of stolen goods, they would meet at the arcade and then go out and pop the trunk of a car and move shit to his van. There were no cel phones yet so the arcade was a good place to hang out all day when people needed to find him to offload goods. We never had anything like stabbings which were frequent in bigger city arcades with ethnic gangs. Mine was 100% white people, with just the skids who hung out there causing the problems.

If you wanted to buy a dime bag or sell a stolen tapedeck the arcade was the best starting point. A lot of local politicians were calling for laws forcing arcades to close early or shut down entirely because of their close association with petty crime and selling drugs to kids. This went national and all arcade games were eventually required to flash a "winners don't use use drugs" PSA starting in 1989.

I guess it really depends if your local arcade was a chuck-e-cheese family place, or a place where people 15-24 would hang out. Overall arcades were a nationwide concern although the media hyped how dangerous they were in the mid 80s.

>>9162206
Looks fun.

No thanks I bought this for 500€ instead

>other versions have to have downsides too
they do. they're all significantly worse then the dreamcast version. even the ps3/xbox360 version is all fucked up and some characters lost infinites while others like black heart gained one when he didnt have one before. its fucking awful. The only right version to play is naomi/dreamcast.

>>9162164
bro dont bother. he's just regurgitating the same dumbass phrases every one else does like a fucking npc parrot. he doesn't even have a reason why he said that. he just said it like a degenerate retard because he was born this millennium and doesnt know how to use a can opener.

pretty based but I put my stick on the desk

>>9162639
>>9162230
meant for this guy

>>9162639
I have one of these I break out sometimes when I want that cabinet feel. It really does change the way the stick and buttons feel.
By random chance the table I have + the height of the arcade stick is right in line with the height of a candy cabinet control panel (26 inches).

>>9162652
i play with the stick in my lap some times. it depends. my arm rests kind of get in the way when i do that though.

>>9162604
Or it's just the area I live in.
I can still find plastic TVs on the side of the road time-to-time, but console tvs are dried up here.

>>9160168
dreamcast is faster and some move frames are different. basically shit only top players cares about.

>>9163117
The Dreamcast version was used in major tournaments so it's as valid as the Naomi anyway.

>>9162547
got the street fighter legacy one for 299 and it's nice to sometimes scoot over and just play loopmaster and final fight for a few minutes.
The buttons and joystick are egregious though, I need to put sanwas in it.

>>9163353
Seimitsu is more accurate for a classic SF cabinet.

>>9160156
>>9160275
These were everywhere around me. I think I did only once see a X-men Vs. Street Fighter in a blue cabinet that typically housed Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo or the D&D games, but that was in a movie theater's lobby. How much do these cabs go for these days?

>>9154793
I can't find the old footage, but they did purposely destroy a lot of Dreamcast systems because of MVC2. I remember they went on a hammering spree when it was announced MVC2 was to be released on the 360.

>>9154845
I don't really collect. Just happen to have kept a lot of the stuff I had back then. Got a lot on clearance shelves/bargain bins.

>>9156990
Yeah, I remember "HK silvers" were very popular and all over the place back then. We used to burn so many Dreamcast games for everyone. It was a huge network of people sharing every Dreamcast game. Good times.

>>9160269
I was mentioning the cabinet that OP displays is not how I remember the cabinets for MVC2 looked like. I'm trying to remember, but it doesn't even resemble Final Fight cabinets which were more "inset" for the screen and the controls at more of an angle. I remember 2 World Warrior cabinets, one with a large speaker grill underneath the screen and another with the controls flat/level with a wide base sort of like a Pit Fighter cabinet. I think OP's cabinet is supposed to be for Mortal Kombat and not MVC2.

>I remember everyone was cheering on MVC2 tournaments when they smashed up Dreamcasts at the end of streams back around 2004-2006 because they hated them.
I was deep into fighting games at the time and don't recall ever seeing or hearing anything like this. It sounds like an isolated incident.

>>9163668
It was at evo. During huge matches they'd constantly have random pauses thanks to the shitty dreamcasts they were using.

>>9162230
Based set up. I have no clue how people play on the ground.

>>9162502
Looks cramped.

>>9163673
That was due to loose controller ports from plugging and unplugging over and over. Could have been easily remedied by using a controller extension cord.

And anyway 90% of the time the pauses were from people aggressively mashing supers in that game in a time when arcade sticks didn't have the start button in a recessed area.

>>9163685
>that was due to loose controller ports
So, shitty dreamcasts?

If the Dreamcast didn't have a short lifespan then Marvel tourney organizers would not have been easily able to attain twenty of the systems for cheap, and the MVC2 scene may not have ever become what it did.

>>9163690
Can you really blame the system when it was never designed to have controllers harshly plugged and unplugged every three minutes for 40 hours straight? The plugs on the MAS sticks of the time might have come from dubious sources too. Mine seemed to fit very snugly in my DC compared to the official controllers.

>>9163702
I didn't have 40 controller being plugged and unplugged from mine and I had the exact same problem. I had to change controls often depending on what game I was playing but that was it.

>>9163706
the 1p port on my DC also became loose over time

>>9162592
Edierre, it's Italian. It's spare buttons from the seller (a friend of mine). They are admittedly shitty because they have too much course and are too clicky for my taste. Gonna swap for full Sanwa soon.

The character/color unlocking system was fun to me as a kid, I'd get a glimpse at some super expensive character I had never heard before like Thanos and wonder what they played like. Then there was flipping back and forth in and out of the shop to try and get the best deals possible.
Playing it today it's basically a waste of time where you just run through arcade ladder over and over but whatever

Lol
It'd be cheaper to build one with a pi or old computer, mame, and have thousands of ROMs

I've got bad news for you most arcade operators started switching to LCDs about 10 years ago because CRT repairs cost a fortune and there are only a few places that do them

Isn't that their advertised business model, though?
I've never used those Arcade 1up cabs, but I thought they campaigned on the fact that they're fisher price versions of full cabs, at a fisher price cost

So, what?
What now cunts?
You can make the claim with impunity?
How would you suggest someone fucking prove it?

>>9154785
CvS and CvS2 are better than any MvC.

>>9163126
pro players prefers dreamcast version over arcade.

>>9156320
horrible faggy idea

>>9152090
You bought a bunch of emulators and stow them away in your wife's storage room, along with the rest of your toys.

>>9166070
how the crap is it faggy to install MAME on a non-original cabinet that runs off emulation anyway?

>>9166150
I believe he was reacting to you using the wrong emulator, not an issue with using emulators in general. Mame is dogshit for MVC2. At the very least use FBNeo or just dreamcast.

>>9151181
Really? A fucking cabinet? No MvC2 HD rerelease? Fucking hell.

>>9166143
kek

3 of them are from craigslist and have jamma pcb in them/hardware swaps

If that's his wife's storage room she's not storing shit.
Peopl post the weirdest cope on this board.
>lol look at your collection I bet you have a wife
what a sick burn

>>9151181
Man, these things are alright, but that price is ridiculous.

>>9166976
General consensus of the thread.
When they were 250 it was reasonable. 600 is for people with too much money.

>>9166991
Yeah 250 to 300 is fair considering the quality. I have a better mame cab thats much bigger, but I wouldnt mind having one or two of these.
