Hi yall. I just finished my Street Figher Alpha 3 cabinet. It's running the original cps2 USA version of SFA3, although I had Razoola from cps2shock modify the roms so that they would work without the suicide battery.

The cabinet was originally a Data East cabinet used for a cheap SFII rip-off called Fighter's Destiny. Here are the modifications I made:

- new sfa3 marquee from http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com/

- black bezel with original instruction and move list inserts attached

- new plexiglass coverings for monitor and marquee

- new 2.1 Creative T3000 speaker system

- removed coin door and installed subwoofer in its place

- rerouted the port of the subwoofer to the front of the cabinet using pvc pipe (notice the white part near the bottom)

- added two buttons in coin door area for inserting coins

- new joysticks and buttons from http://www.x-arcade.com/

- new Capcom control panel overlay from http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com/

- new lock for back panel of cabinet

- some rewiring on the inside of the cabinet

Altogether, this was a really fun project. The cabinet plays and sounds amazing.

*samor wants a silent scope arcade machine but really can't afford one

I use to be pretty good with a keyboard on my old comp, but the laptop I use now only allows 2 keys max pressed simultaneously in most cases, which I'm sure you'll agree makes it quite difficult to pull off even rudimentary moves. So the only way I can even play fighting games on my laptop is using my ps2 pad with an adapter, which still isn't that great IMO. Even though I don't play online that much, I'd love to have a match if we can get decent ping (less than 100). However, I'm not sure if that's possible since you live in Germany, and I live in the US. If you'd like to try, just name a time and server, and I'll be there.

Oh, I use kawaks. I hope that's ok.
