Quick question. Received my cabinet and the monitor stinks and is only VGA even though I paid for an HDMI/1080P monitor. I am not really going to use my cabinet for newer stuff (Tekken 7, SFV, etc). Basically just playing retro games via Mame (Capcom brawlers, Neo-Geo, X-men, shmups) and will add my...

Anyone have a suggestion for a monitor that is somewhat affordable and mounts without too much effort in a vewlix/chewlix cabinet? I paid for a 1080P monitor in mine and they shipped it with a 720/VGA monitor. Can't you tell them to sort it out? or send you a proper 1080p panel? Did you agree on 10...

Put my order in through Potech on alibaba Will be updating on how it goes over the next few nerve-racking months. I would ask Rose Zheng to cancel the order if you can. I just dealt with Potech buying a replacement control panel and they are useless. They somehow made three waybills and I had two r...

The others like 9s are bootlegs of a bootleg and supposedly run poorly. If you want "official" it is the one sold on aliexpress through the 3AGames store front. Even most on amazon/ebay are not theirs.

If you think that's odd..

Haha...that's pretty cool. Give me a cabinet for Zero Gunner 2 that completely spins 360 degress like the helicopters and I'm in!

Explorer says there are 43 files, so you're missing over half of them. Should be a case of extracting the main archive fully then extracting the first numbered file to do the contents. Since the parity file is marked bad, I suspect the source is incomplete. I have all 43, the jpg isn't showing the ...

They are 7zip files.

Understood. When you extract them they become .084 file .085 file. They dont seem to extract properly into a useable state

I looked at the rules and if I goofed and this is not allowed to ask please delete. There are a batch of Laserdisc game files over at archive.org. I have downloaded them and they aren't roms or CHDs or anything. It's a weird batch of files ending in .084, .085, etc (windows identifies them as a 084 ...

I saw this the other day: https://m.alibaba.com/product/60638255466/Jamma-Game-Board-SEGA-Atomiswave-Naomi.html?spm=a2706.wap_new_search.1998817009.6.64eb284fLOI8gQ I presume these are bootlegged. How are they able to do that. I don't mean legally but from the tech side of things. Wouldn't sega have...

Licensed to, not licensed from Taito licensed the name to Chinese vendors to make knock-offs for 1/6th the price? That seems hard to believe... Yes,very hard mainly because it is very easy to enforce copyright in China :thumbupright: BTW, i highly doubt that the China Vewlix available these days, b...

Hello again. I was browsing around and came across this old discussion: https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27024&sid=138bce6bb9ed40966659d29eab81e4d0&start=20#p375004 the clones are different in every way, beside most part of the Shell (?). Taito licensed the Name "Vewlix" , nothing e...

You won't get an "official" one from alibaba. The branding on the ones I have is from the reseller... They have "vewlix" on the marquee and "taito" on the control panel. The decals were purchased separately What I meant was that Taito doesn't manufacture these. A factory in China does. I saw in a t...

If you want to run a Pandora - then the standard off the shelf JAMMA Chewlix with 2L14B or 2L16B control panel will work just fine. When you order it you need to make sure it comes with a full JAMMA loom and power supply - the Chewlix monitor is a 720P, 32" CD with DVI & VGA inputs (some come with ...

Greetings all. I am new to this after buying an Arcade 1UP a little over a month ago and having buyer's remorse by the 2nd day, not to mention instant carpal tunnel from the absurdly small size of it. At first I was all set on a Recroom Cabinet but then I saw that they don't even close in the back. ...

Player 1 coin and start work for player 2 and vice-versa. Everything is correctly assigned and works fine in every other title, save one other that I can't even remember which did the same problem. Anyone run into this before?

I would play Progear, Pink Sweets, Muchi Muchi, Mushihime 1&2, & Death Smiles, and ESPRade one last time BEFORE leaving for the desert island. I would not want to take them with me. Otherwise I would hate them. Like that stupid coconut... If I had to pick one probably Muchi Muchi Pork because it is ...

Who did you purchase from? I went with WanMo https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-arcade-games-taito-vewlix-cabinet_60681884644.html?spm=a2700.8443308.0.0.OXfmOm I pretty much contacted everyone I could on Alibaba and found A LOT of the suppliers are pretty much the same. Some varied in...

Hey, that’s my garage wall in the background. I can confirm vewlix F and FC (red) have a led strip underneath the holder. My L did not have It though.

Do you have official Vewlix units? I'm looking to buy one (preferably new). Where did you purchase yours?
