Takes me back. Started Working on Arcade games when I was 14 and I was huge into the SF II Scene in LA back in the day. Did a LOT of Hyper Fighting Upgrades back in the day. I even have a HF Marquee on my wall.
I have this exact same cab, except it came already with Hyper Fighting and the matching marquee. I upgraded it to the CPS-2 Grand Master Challenge, and don’t miss HF at all. It just offers sooo much more, and is so much faster. There’s no coming back.
@@RetroRalph Thanks, still anxious to see the Virtual Arcade running FX3 tables. I got my Virtual Pinball cab up and running, but just the internals, I need to build the enclosure, and today I ordered a 27" mtr to replace the 24" playfield. I modified the Coinops Pinball Standalone, it now plays 68 Tables instead of the 40. But I really want the Universal Tables and the Williams ones, but I can't seem to find a solution, other than buying them all on Steam and using that FX3 software in the cab.
This was a great video. I had no idea going from SF2:CE to SF2T:HF were just some add on hardware. I always figured it was a new board. This is the one arcade cabinet I wish to own one day as an original. Nice to know I can get it as two versions (whenever that day comes)
Thanks for watching man! Arcade hardware is so cool, it’s fun to play with it and learn all the tricks the arcade operators had. Thanks so much for watching!
With the release of Big Blue and everyone playing Elderly Edition, this video is what the Arcade1Up community needs to see right now lol. I can understand if someone does not prefer Super Street Fighter 2 since it has a different music font style and some costume colors are just annoying subjectively speaking (banana ken, orange and brown ryu), but there's almost no logical reason for people to only play SF2 CE over hyper fighting other than they didn't realize they probably were playing SF2 Hyper Fighting or grew out of gaming before Capcom released the upgrade. But at the moment impossible to find HSF2/SF2T players. Besides that it was pretty neat seeing the original arcade board upgrade. It's great that you are preserving history in a way by documenting this so clearly and accessibly for us here 👍
Thanks bud, yeah, Hyper Fighting is my favorite of all of them for sure. Inspired by Rainbow, kind of a cool story and interesting that Capcom jumped to satisfy the gamers with their own version. Rainbow was crazy though... haha. Anyhow, I appreciate you stoping by and watching and especially appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Awesome man, how's the artwork on your cabinet? I'm ordering new artwork for the Bezel as mine is pretty beat up. It's reverse printed on the acrylic so it should be plug n' play. I didn't order the side art yet because the sides need some serious love first.
Retro Ralph hey man, thanks for replying. I want to redo all the artwork on the cab. Other people tell me it’s fine, but I’m very picky and would prefer it looking pristine. Thanks to you I’ve found a couple of websites that sell the artwork.
Also Ralph, can you share an image/photo of what the original artwork for a SF2 Hyper Fighting edition looks like? I have a feeling mine is not original. It has a texture paint on it.
I now own 3 champion edition boards i managed to get usa hyper fighting roms for 1 board and for the 2nd board i got hold of japan turbo roms, i like the Japanese hyper fighting because you have big turbo letters going across the screen.
Boss, i've got two questions for you: 1. Why? HF had more special moves. not starting a fight, i'm just wondering why you prefer it; i can't see myself using Chun li without a fireball, or Blanka without a vertical roll. 2. In CE, are Ken and Ryu's hurricane kicks identical- as they were in WW? or are they different- Ken's being fast with multiple hits and Ryu's having one hit that knocks the opponent down?
That’s really cool! Look forward to seeing how you are going to fix this up. So are there options out there to order the side art or will that be a special project?
Thanks for watching bud! There's a several options for ordering the side art but I need to clean up the sides of the cabinet 1st. Joe Szabo of Szabo's Arcades and Escape Pod both have the designs so it would be a simple order from them when I'm ready. How are things going up in Canada, you staying safe? Thanks again for watching, it's much appreciated!
Retro Ralph Retro Ralph Awesome man, well I can’t wait to see what you get done with it. Thanks for checking in too. We are still in the early stages of everything here where I am in Canada. Hope everybody is safe there too.
Just wanted to get your input. I found someone sells SF 2 Champaign Turbo. What is a good price for something like that? They say it works but have some glitches. Thanks
Oh man, I’m not sure. I know the MK at a local place by me made about $3000 last year. It’s nothing compared to their redemption machines but pretty good considering it’s been there since the 90s. 👍🏻
I won a bid on a street fighter arcade cab at an auction. Something completely tragic happened to me, while unloading it at home from the uhaul it lost balance and broke into pieces. The CRT monitor went. Heard all sorts of hissing(tube) and I pretty much lost the cab. Now, 2 weeks later a miracle has occurred. A street fighter hyper edition cab on Facebook that needs a new mother board surfaced but unfortunately it has a LCD screen in it. How hard would it be to install a new CRT monitor in the cab should I find one that fits? I’ve been trying to find a video of someone installing a new monitor in an arcade cab for reference but no luck. I know about discharging and all that but wondering about wiring
Also I’m having the new arcade cab delivered. Guy had it in the description stating willing to deliver. That never happens. It’s like, meant to be. I’m supposed to have this arcade cabinet.
It's pretty beat up as far as the cabinet goes but I got it for around $1,000. You just need to keep searching, people let them go for decent prices but they get snagged up quickly. Thanks for watching bud!
@@lchambers56 well there is a way to use a regular 25 CRT TV as your monitor but it's kind of a crazy conversion it will work just definitely one of those things you need to know how to do
There's a lose connection where the video input is on the monitor chassis. I know it's the cold solder joint because I applied a bit of heat and it works for a short time and goes out again. I believe If I fix the solder joint I should be good to go. I shorted the transistor on the neckbeard for red to make sure red is working and it lit up like a Christmas tree so that's a good sign. I'm learning as I go on CRT's but so far so good. It looks like it was recapped recently so I hope it's just the connection and I'm good to go. It's nice to know your willing to help man, I really appreciate it! Now I just need help on this whole fitness thing ;-)
Hyper_Sam Thanks for watching! I’m reading up on cleaning Arcade PCBs and there’s lots of crazy info from using a dishwasher to a garden hose, so I’m trying to find the best way. I have never put water 💦 and electronics together but we will see. I plan to do a video when I figure out a way that works. Thanks again for watching, it’s much appreciated!
