Between some of the Arcade1up machines that have been coming out and some of the Black Friday sales that'll be happening with certain Arcade1up machines I'm coming really close to pulling the trigger on one. I remember hearing mixed things about the quality of the emulation and the buttons in some of the early machines but it seems like some of that stuff may have improved? Hopefully some owners can shed light on this.
So the machines that I'm really looking at are the TMNT unit, the Marvel unit with Sanwa parts and one of the Head to Head cocktail units. The TMNT one is easily the one I want most because of the attachment I have to those games, then the Head to Head unit but I'll probably prioritize the Marvel unit above it due to the potential limited availability. Obviously these purchases will be spaced out as they're pretty significant investments and I probably won't be able to actually justify buying all of them but those are the main units I'm looking at.
So with the Head to Head cocktail units, I'm currently undecided which one I want. Out of the 4 units I like the look of all of them except the SF2 Champion Edition style Head to Head unit. I prefer the games & control panels of the Capcom Head to Head units but the black Pac Man Head to Head unit looks awesome. Having said that, I actually contacted Arcade1up about if they'll be selling replacement parts for all of the cocktail units (with the thinking that I could just buy one of the Capcom units and somewhere down the line replace the table top portion with the black Pac Man table top) and they said replacement parts for those units will be available on their site but they don't have an exact date as to when that will be the case.
What machines are you interested in? Also, it sounds like converting these machines to MAME machines is a pretty easy process. So what's the modding scene like for these machines? Any recommended mods?
