Next project: Duo_R's Supergun build
« on: May 19, 2015, 05:13:40 PM »
Ok I was so close to purchasing a Stryder cab but the seller backed out.

Too bad because I need a horizontal cab for all the arcade PCBs I own.


So decided to start a project in the meantime:

Shouldn't be an issue, I got stand offs for it so it's fine.

you at least need a plastic shield between it and everything else
the voltages in the supply would destroy anything they came in contact with

Appreciate you looking out, I have a plastic Sheild below. Just gotta make sure it's a solid install and nothing will come loose.

And also there is a cover for the enclosure :-)

Building a supergun can be fun, but the Arcade Forge MAK Strike supergun is so cheap (and nice) that it isn't worth the time unless you're just doing it to do it.

I'll have to check that out. But I do enjoy building and I would think I would save on cost especially since I already have slot of parts from previous projects.

Ok seems there are quality control issues

Yeah, those posts are from over a year ago and after looking at the pictures the ones they are selling now appear to be a revision which could possibly have addressed the issues.  Another person I was talking to on chat has one and they seem to love it.  I don't have the cash to pick one up now, but I would be tempted in the future.

I can only speak of my own experiences, but mine works great.  Uses Neo-Geo controllers, which I already had.  You can buy their power supply or just use your own.  It's RGB-only, so 95% of what it's doing is just pass-though.  Build quality seems just fine.  I think the quality of the power supply is more important, frankly.  This uses a standard molex or whatever connector so you could just as easily use a nice PC power supply with it, I think.
