Because a lot of serious cab owners are pretty anal about keeping arcade games authentic, Until it suits them to add things like auto fire it would seem :think: :awe:
"Yeah lets all get ponys instead, wait no lol trendy cabs" Err I think you meant Ponies didn't you ?

If i got it on Xbox I'd play it on my telly. If I had the PCB I'd play it in a proper dedicated Jamma cab. I wouldn't however play the Xbox on a converted bookies cab. :sick:
But surely thats all psychological? I could buy a Vewlix and Taito board with SSFIV for thousands of pounds. Or I could pay £100 for a cab and stick the xbox in. For me its more about the feeling of sitting down at a cab and playing than knowing what hardware its running on. I used to love playing SFIV on my Naomi online and for me this is a cheap way to get back into it.

Remove the base, respray, new sticks and buttons and we are good to go :mrgreen:

Cheers. If I end up buying the cab Im thinking of a Black/Grey/Orange theme for SSFIV, similar in style to the SFIV Marquee MCS did for me.

Im not going to put in as much effort as that bloke did though :lol:
