Decided that the two boards that I had, I really wanted to play and see what they were like so I mustered up the ambition to switch the horrizontal monitor to vertical and changed the settings ect.

  • suitable for Japanese vertical shooter.

  • Man, I wish I could do stuff like that. Maybe if I can figure out what to go to college for, haha. Great video!

  • man u need to invest a bigger room or a repair room and a game room

  • Yuo can normally tell the difference between the two because of the heat they give off.

    I had a 50" plasma until it blew up last week and the thing gave off so much heat, I needed the AC on in the middle of winter!!!

  • No, you're right, most are LCD, I have a tendancy of getting those two mixed up in my head. The LCD ones look horrible but The newer fighting ones like Tekken 6 and Virtua Fighter 5 ect are running on Plasma I believe. The design ot the cab is totally different and the picture quality is amazing. Much smaller and thinner and very bright.

  • Really? They're definitely plasma, not LCD?

    I'd have thought that's be a bad thing for an arcade game, since there's always a lot of static images and text like "Insert Coin" on screen for hours at a time, and that'd cause burn-in after a while.

    My Enduro Racer machine has "Insert Coin" permanently burnt into the screen and that's CRT even.

  • Fortunately it was only the glass bezel that was chipped, which I plan to replace some time in the future, the CRT is tough as hell :-P

    The glass on the face of the CRT can be as thick as ~6 cm!
