Truly an honor to have been a part of this build! Had a blast!! Can't wait for the next one! 🤘🏽

Outstanding job. You and Jojo killed it.

This thing is beautiful! Love that red and black look. Brings back some great memories from Round Table Pizza

I really like how you reconditioned it even the little touches like how you change the buttons to make it more universal while still trying to keep some of the original style❤

KAG, TheWickedArcade & YourMKArcadeSource - The Holy Trinity of anything Killer Instinct and MK arcade cabinet related. That or the 3 Amigos of the KI&MK community...🤣

The button on the coin door looks great and very stealthy.

Amazing job!! Def going to build one for my own collection soon. Just been scared to dive into all the drivers setup with using the crt. Thanks for the shoutout. The finished product is a beauty, the hard work you and Jojo put in shows!!

The Mortal Kombat Cabinet MAME was finished and then, it changed by Maximum Force. You're a hero!

FYI, Batocera now has CRT support and Groovy mame is already built in 💪💪💪

Your arcade story is identical to mine. I was a chucky cheese fan then one day I went to my favorite arcade and saw a big crowd. It was the first day mk1 was showcased. After that I was a fighting game addict. Mk1 has a special place in my heart too. That cab is sick and I am jealous of and happy for you!

So awesome that you finally fished the cab Can't believe its been 7 months already I remember your first video talking about it but Congrats!!!!!!!!

Wow this is absolutely incredible! I'm so glad you got it set up, brother! 👍👍 I also really enjoy minute of this video MK content is absolutely the best.

Man, it was amazing. Beautiful work. Congratulations!

thanks for finishing up this project with a wrap up video. I love the passion and enjoyment of arcade games. Thanks and love to those who helped you on the way expecially Joe Joe for going above and beyond by being awesome.

Im glad you made it into a MK1 cabinet I think it looks great the outcome is awesome 👏🏼 congrats

Congrats. Looks great, a lot of hard work into it. Would love to have that at my home to play all the classic arcade games on that glorious CRT monitor.

Dude, it’s beautiful! Glad you got it set up! 👍👍👍

It must be nice to have a nostalgic arcade cabinets in your very own home Because where I live back in the 90's, I used to always enjoy hearing the arcade each time I was close to one. But it was more awesome having to be in a arcade place and just seeing the variety of them. Now in this day and age where I live, we don't have those anymore and miss those places.

Was there for that stream. Beautiful build f the haters. And glad you had a replacement screen. GG on the all the builds❤️

Wow KAG I can tell that you put a lot of work and effort into this project

Great job 👏 Looks really good and sounds amazing.

Looks awesome! Been waiting for this video since the livestream. I like the new layout of the shed-cade the racing cabs fit well like that.

Your cab looks awesome :)

Nice man. I’ll definitely tune in on the next stream.

Congrats dude!!

very nice

Love it! You guys did an amazing job restoring this cabinet and turning it into a beautiful work of art. I personally enjoy the MK 1 theme and think you made a great choice for the artwork! Excited to see more videos featuring this cabinet!

Looks great

Looks fantastic. The shed cade is super laced up with legit cabinets. Good work KAG

That’s beautiful dude! Looks incredible! 👊🏼

Damn!! Nice work sir!!

I've been looking forward this video man! You've come a long way and got your reward in the end! Thanks for taking us on this MAME Mortal Kombat I cabinet journey! And for sure please put some more arcade games on it for more variety for the different generations of fans. Thanks!

This is perfect-- MAME PC with a CRT is exactly what I would want if I had the room for a full-sized cab. Personally, I'd do MKII because it's my favorite game of all time, but this is the next best thing. Nice work!

This is amazing! Great job and Jojo is the man!!! I hope you feel better soon.

Beautiful 🎉

Congrats 🍾 🎉 You seem so happy with it done!!! 👏 🕹️ 🪙 📺 👍 Enjoy!!

You did a great job!

looks so good!

what a wild ride, thanks for sharing and enjoy the cabinet!

I am on the hunt for a Capcom Big Blue w/ Qsound board. I love SSF2 and that's what I need in that cab. I'd like to do SF 3rd Strike artwork but I don't think that was in a big blue. I'll worry about that if I ever find one. here in Massachusetts its a lot harder to come by.

Love the work you did here…just subscribed! MK is special to my childhood. I actually build miniature stages from the trilogy that I show on my channel. Videos like this are very inspiring

You did a great job! i enjoy every minute of this video mk content is the best. very beautiful cab after all

Was there any artwork under the paint? you might have been able to use something like citristrip to remove the paint. Sometimes the paint even helps preserve the vinyl artwork so it looks nice and bright after you remove the paint.

Nice work 👍

luv the channel kag ur videos and live streams are awesome!

That thing came out incredible! Who did the control panel artwork for you? I’ve been looking for a supplier of that tougher style vinyl

Jojo went ham

Epic build KAG! Pity the haters, their life is sad and empty. Also, keep the Velcro.

Awesome! That’s the best way to go imo for a mame cab if you have the space and ya mk1 is also one of the main ones that got me into arcades too and I’m sure a lot of people so it makes sense to use that for the theme. One question: and I ask because I’m probably gonna use my arcade1up and buy a real coin door: what did the monitor cga adapter have to do with the coin door buttons? I wanted to use a monitor and the standard encoders is that possible?

In the future, people will play video games on laptop computers that have numerous other functions... but for now, in 2024, we have no choice except to fill up our homes with these enormous machines that play only one game each...

Looks great! Any chance you could share how you made the monitor work with MAME? I really wanted to do this but not sure how to connect a CRT. Thanks again for all the awesome videos.

No ragrets😂 That's a killer explanation

Yo KAG , im jealous of that Sharkfin shaped MK2 1-UP you have there 😢

Tight😎👊

Nice!!!!! Congrats!!! Did you put MK4 and Killer Instinct in it? How do they look? I have them in mine and they don't look good. MK4 has glitches and KI has bad definition.

Chris need a lil help so check it..i did a geoovymame on my mk4 real cab on a switcher ..how would i do the kick harness hook to the jpac terminals screws. I have a kick harness mk Consider board tho too that has if thats how you spell it lol.

Excuse my english, I ony speak spanish. ¿Exit button? You have a j-pack, right? What is that button doing? It is a Test button? or it is just a Esc button? If it is a Esc button, you dont need it. You just need to config, in MAme - General, a combination of buttons that work like Escape button. In my machine, I had Player 1 + Player 2. In J-pac if you hit Right and enter (wich in my machine is 1Plyer button) is like you hit Tab, so, you can open Mame menu directly, and there you have not only config, plus Test mode. In J-pac down +1Player is Pause (wich is very handy when your playing and have to pause for any reason, like your reading a comment in your streaming). Up+1Player open +/- volume. And thats are likely the most used (in my expirerience) shortcuts that J-pac allow. So, truly I think that you can do a lot more without need of that extra button that can be hit with your knee, using more of that J-pac that you have.

Any plans for modding live on stream?

I've always been curious as to why you have so many MK and Killer Instinct games but nothing like, say, Street Fighter. Is it just a case of not growing up with the more Japanese titles?

Are you using a front end? Or just mame?
