Are you going to put a Jamma board in it or mame it ?
right, i'm a pinhead through and through, so i don't really understand either of those terms. i've been reading both of them for so long now that it gets harder every time to ask, but i'm gonna bite the bullet here. all i know is that mame is an acronym for some emulation or something, and that's it. and i know both terms are something to do with playing videogames. is the jamma the original board, like in an old Galaga or something, whereas the mame lets you play dozens of different games on the same machine?
be gentle with me
JAMMA (Japanese Amusement Machine Manufacturers Association) is a wiring standard for arcade machines so, like you say Dan, Jonathan would put an original SF2 arcade board into his refurbed cab hooked up through a JAMMA wiring harness. MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is software emulation that allows you to run arcade ROMs (the same thats on the chips on an arcade board) on a PC.
MAME lets you run thousands of arcade games on one PC (but emulated so not quite the same as the original board) where as JAMMA lets you play the one game thats on the board and you need to swap boards in and out of your arcade cab to play different games.
As Jonathan is building a dedicated cab then I'd assume he's going to use an original SF2 board for that authentic feel.....the question is, which SF2 board are you going for. An original World Warrior, a later CE or Turbo version or a bootleg like Rainbow edition?

Nice one Dan, glad you asked it as I'd like to know too!! And whilst we're asking questions! Where do babies come from?
A stalk delivers them duuur
When a man and a lady love each other very much, he puts his peepee in her noonoo and wiggles it about until magic sparkles come out. Then nine months later the babies appear behind a mulberry bush. And a stork appears doing his flies up or something.

SSF2X eh. Very nice. One of the best looking beat em ups out there, though I always felt some of the moves were hard to make. And it doesn't flow as much as some of the others.
They'll probably fix it up when the software is finished though.

I can't find a suitable 'whooosh' smiley, so I'll just have to type it instead.
Whoooosh!
Whoooosh!
Nice find.
Gotta watch those Capcom CPS boards, a lot if them have batteries that have died.
See, it's not just the bane of pinball owners
I remember being in an arcade and first seeing that intro on Super where Ryu threw a fireball directly into the camera. It was like the apocalypse.

I can't understand why they never went the same way as pcs with the button battery. Fair enough the ones before the 80's
Not that kind of battery, like Duracells.
CPII system contains a powered encryption known as Suicide Battery. A finite amount of life on the B board that would ensure that that the board became unplayable after a certain amount of time. It was a prevention against hacked B boards being combined with other games to bypass encryption keys.
"Conveniently" operators could ask Capcom to replace these batteries.
For a price, of course.
A good few years ago some techheads reverse engineered this device and the boards can now be hacked to prevent the encryption keys from expiring.

Oh right sounds complicated
Looks the biz
The only thing I'm not happy about is the fact you used a video wizard. I have an affection for these cabs. I think they look great as they are. And you've raped it....
Nice work, that looks great :thumb:
