Slikstik MAME Arcade cabinet installation

Posted on Aug 6, 2007 07:04:45 PM

The retroblast “review” video that comes with Slikstik’s arcade cabinets shows off the quad player control panel model. They’re a little pricey and if you have good wood working skills, you might be able to save yourself a lot of money making one like this.

Go arcade cabs!

    If Ikea Made Game Cabs This IS How They Would Make It.

    I actually built the “trashcade” cabinet but that’s it. I’m not spending money on all that hardware and stuff.

    hey,

    I’m in the UK and could not afford to import a flat packed mame cab. Instead I am purchasing an old Mortal Kombat II arcade machine, which I will convert. Do you think it will be easy to create the keyboard drawer on an old cab like this?

    Hey, let me know what’s the aspect ratio in arcade screens and the color temperature these screens use.

    I mean it. I really need to know.

    From google translation, I guess you’re asking about putting in some console game inside? If so, you can if you want. the monitor accepts vga input.

    sucks they went out of business. I have tried building my own and what a freakin pain it has been. I would have totally bought one of these when they were around but I never had the money while they were in business.

    This is soooooo Efin’ kool!!! I purchased an authentic cab for $30. It used to be a game called Regulus. The cab was gutted but I did get 2 leaf switch buttons, a coin door, a working speaker and lighting fixture (for the marquee) out of it. My cab is playable but only about 75% finished. When completed it will look just as nice as this one or better.

    That is pretty impressive. It’s amazing how it’s so easy to put together and with the hiddend drawer it looks sharp. If you took a first look at it you would think that it was just an old cab converted. Really sharp.

    Its ok I think they do too much of the work for me and I am going rather go a more one off approach. And Parts can be found … I just never find exactly what I am looking for or the combination and with the kinda money it will cost … I rather keep looking and planning for now while I build up the funds.Thanks for the heads up though Aberran

    Can any tell me how i can get my pc to boot straight into mame game list

  49. November 13, 2009 05:23 pm
    amiga2000

    There are several ways. Try putting the mame.exe shortcut in your startup if you’re using windows or in the rc startups if unix.

    Yes good product and nice idea! But I’m working on my cab building it from myself…and I have to admit that some details on my cab are worst and less professional (just a little) than this, but the satisfaction is huge. It seems to me that having a cabinet by building for yourself can be more precious than just buying it. Just opinion!!!

    I’ve seen a few people make their own in BA. I’m not aware of any commercially sold cabinets down there. Perhaps you can find a knock off on Florida street! :-)

    Thank you for your answer, but i’m not in Buenos Aires, anyway some how i allready know that it is not easy to find something like this in my country. Maybe i’m gonna have to try to find an old arcade cabinet.

    I have been thinking about making my own arcade cab. Putting it in my closet. That is the only place i can fit it. Anyone know how well arcade guts and game boards would last in a hot garage. Keep in mind I live in east Texas.

    amiga2000

    @PearlJammer07 It depends on your components. If you use an LCD panel and a low power computer, you should be good to go. CRT’s on the other hand…

    ashcroft83

    @PearlJammer07 dude, you have absolutely no idea. They are not just staying in business, in fact, the owner Ingvar Kamprad and family are the 11th wealthiest people in this planet. And that’s because it is affordable, it has great designs and the business design is nearly perfect.Oh, and I am wondering how cheap and ugly looking are your clothes, for example.
