David The 8-Bit Guy restores a Street Fighter II game in a Dynamo HS-1 cabinet for the Time Rift Arcade in Bedford, TX.
Street Fighter II changed the game. Literally. Released in 1991 by Capcom, it revolutionized the world of arcade fighting games and laid the foundation for the genre's global popularity. Featuring a diverse roster of characters, each with unique fighting styles and special moves, the game allowed players to engage in intense one-on-one battles. With its innovative mechanics, iconic characters like Ryu and Chun-Li, and competitive multiplayer gameplay, Street Fighter II became a cultural phenomenon and a cornerstone in the history of video games.

@@skunkwerkz777 well that I did not know. I thought it was just for the logistics of. I want to keep this kind of material on this channel and this kind of material on the other channel. Because the viewer that wants to watch 8-Bit computer system videos may not want to watch him restoring arcade cabinets. So it makes sense to have two channels.

An inexpensive 40" wide plexiglass heater/bender would be a good addition to your shop. With that, you could have added wrap-around plexi on the control panel to avoid the uncomfortable edge. Even a sanded and flame-polished edge can be uncomfortable on the wrist and palm after a few minutes of playing.

@NONO-hz4vo Ай бұрын

Yeah there were a lot of things that were not done well or efficiently as far as the cabinet goes. I am assuming this guy is more of an electric wizard than a craftsman.

@1stage Ай бұрын

@@NONO-hz4voI don't agree. A lot more care was taken with this mod/refurb than was taken with 90% of the conversions that happened when the original kit was released. Between Dave & Mike, they've got more than enough craftsmanship to go around, in addition to the electronics background you suggested. Bottom line is that this is their cabinet, so they can do what they want. For me, it was a great watch.

The trickiest problem is that 32 byte memory window between VRAM and System RAM. You either shrink the characters to roughly Double Dragon relative size (32 pixels high on average), or else settle for 30 Hz frame rate(or slower) and/or at least 32 second load times between matches. Oh, if only there was another processor on the VERA board to babysit the blanking cycles, leaving more clock cycles for the 65C02 to load tiles and sprite frames into VRAM...
