Hi All,

I'm fairly new to this hobby, jumped in with a blast city and a MiSTercade. Hoping to get into some real hardware.

Thanks,

Robert

Hello everyone, long time retro gamer (probably for around 30+ years) here!

I have a modest Retro collection (some stuff that I kept from back in the day) and I have been wanting to get a cabinet for a long time but never had the space until recently. So hopefully being a member here will help with that in some regard! I like old Sega games, Shmups and Fighting games.

I'm very happy that something like this forum still exists I look forward to interacting with you all!

Hi all, I'm an Irishman living in London - I have been into retro gaming all my life, primarily through emulation which I discovered in the early 2000s. Spent lots of time on various retroarch setups and console homebrew stuff. More recently have become passionate about the hardware side of things and have been learning electronics soldering etc, modifying fight sticks, and making DIY machines. So far I've built a 12" mini bartop and a 32" virtual pinball. I live in an apartment so don't have the tools or space to do woodworking projects, so instead I've come to this forum in search of a Taito Vewlix, Namco Noir or Sega Naomi Universal cabinet that I can tinker with.

Welcome!

You just missed a Chewlix being sold, but Videotronics still has some Vewlix and Chewlixes.

Hello everyone!
I'm Mike currently residing in Florida. Pretty recent to the hobby and community. So far I have 2 Dynamo HS-5 Cabinets with 25in K7000's. Both are supplied with Mistercades as well as a slowly growing original PCB collection. Big shmup fan so a single horizontal cab was never going to cut it, although I love me some R-Type. Anyway, hello all and long live coinop!

Hi Guys !

very happy to be here.
I'm Cedric akka Amobile, 44 Years old, i'm living in Chambéry in the South East of France.
I'm collecting old consoles systems since beginning of 2000's and now i think i have near all the games i would like to process on the consoles systems.
So i started to buy some arcades cab (Rit legno, A virtua Fighter to restore, and an old jeutel).
I installed first a PC in it, then a raspberry Pi 3 with the Rpi2Jamma interface to play at the 80's/90's 2D Arcade Games. (Mister solution is too expensive at this time)
But now, i would like to find some games i knew in the 90's like Street Fighter, Final Fight, Asterix or Alien vs Predator (or the dedicated T2 arcade cab !!) .
I consider myself as a beginner in the Arcade domain, so i'm very pleased to be here to learn :)

See you later guys :)

Hello everyone

I come from France and I love arcade games, the feeling to plug a PCB and play right away.

I have 3 cabinets and some PCB specialy shmups.

Thanks for your welcome

Hello all, new user here. I've just got into Sega Naomi having dreamed of having one since the Dreamcast days. I finally spotted some for a fair price so am taking the plunge. Will be seeing if the super caps need replacement and also using peroxide to neaten things up. Hoping to learn more and more with the hobby.
