View Full Version : Convert Build
Hi All,
well since my hyperpin cab is complete i am itching for something new and i got a perfect opporunity today:
I have already a converted royal video cabinet to MAME but it uses and x-arcade and its really well not so good :) the monitor is also at an angle i cannot use lightguns.
today i bought this :
I don't know the cab model but it house a 28 hantarax monitor which works good says the seller and also the control panel he built custom it will be empty but i will be using my modded x-arcade with led buttons for the new CP
what do you think ? do anyone now this type of cab ? he says its from 2004
Anyone know the resolution the hantarex 28 can take? i don't know the model until i recieve the cabinet next week
i am going to use my vga breakout cable that i used with my old hantarex soldered to the vid inputs i hope
The cab is coming in tommorow so i stripped al my led buttons and the led wiz from my x-arcade
Rewired them all to the new ipac2
i will be using the old sticks from the x-arcade until i can save some money for two balltop u360's and a new trackball and spinner
Sorry for the grainy pictures crap iphone camera will post better ones tommorow
I got the cab
the guy forgot the adjustment board for the monitor so that does not work yet
but i got the power hooked up , hacked my vga cable to the jamma connector like i did in my old cabinet
installed two sticks to see it if will fit the CP
will post pics tommorow

I think its a purdy cool cab
thanks im still waiting for the monitor adjustment board to come in so i can finally fire it up
Well luckky me not :(
i got 2 chassis with the polo 28 one of dead the guy said the other one worked
so i fired up the working chassins and wham the screen works i like yes let me check if my vga breakout cable works and fire my pc up ( i did the same with my hantarex mtc900) and i heard only POP buzzzzzz fried :(
i got reall pissed with yesterday and almost selled it all but luckily someone from BYOAC forums offered me to fix them for me !! sweet !
here are two more pics
Also when the chassis is fixed i am going to order an arcadevga this will be the safest option for me not to frie the chassis again :)
Some members are real helpful amazing the community surrounding this hobby.
Good luck with the rest of the fit out.

:top: This looks great, have fun on your build.
The monitors chassis boards are en route to the repair guy in england
I ordered the Arcade VGA from ultimarc only the agp version but hey its better then blowing up my chassis everytime
hopefully this will run KI2 as good as my 6600gt
Status update:
the guy who is fixing my chassis got 1 working already the other one is a lot more work seems both where not going to work anyways...
DHL will deliver my arcadevga today so that is very cool, i cannot wait to get started on this project
One of the chassis is fixed :)

the next one will be this friday
have you any plans to/is it even possible to sort out the backwards 2P arrangement?
Well not yet the cabinet is mostly used for games like metal slug and lightgun games to the backwards 2P should not be of any big issue
a friend of mine has a metal shop and i can deweld the CP and let him make a new one if needed but when i will do this i will also add a trackball and spinner
The chassis will be back this week so i can start again with the project finally :)

I got super curious what game this cabinet was. Turns out it's a Greek bootleg multi board.

That speaker setup is strange!
If you don't mind telling, how much did you spend on it? And how the heck does one acquire a Greek commercial mame cabinet? Do you live in Greece?
the speaker setup is a test with one screw if you look at the first post you see that the speakers will hang facing forwards ofcourse.
i spend 150 euro on it with the monitor included .
and no i live in holland i bought the cab of a craigslist kinda idea
Did Some Test Fitting Today:
I got the cabinet placed at it's location also i test fited all the gear below to see if it would fit after i bolted it down on a nice wooden plank with a rail.
I still need some help with the arcadevga because it seems some resolutions seem al lot better then others, maybe it's mame but i used avres to get all the ini files i needed.
