Competition pro usb

[my_lo]

Bad news:

- My competition pro black/red oredered from Vesalia finally arrived but the right button is broken, i opened it and it's a plastic part inside that is broken, i can't repair it I am right handed, so it's not a problem to me but anyway, it was disappointing... I don't feel like sending it back and having to wait again to receive another one

- The shop in Brussels where i had ordered the adaptor and the blue version of the competition pro have sold it to someone else. I swear i'll never put a foot there again!

- I've lost an auction on an x-arcade and now i can't find any way to buy one here in belgium, except an online shop but i have contacted them by phone and it seems that it doesn't exist anymore (the shop). After what happened with the competition pro from Germany, i hesitate buying an x-arcade from USA. Damn, i really wanted one for my Mame games T_T
Anybody knows a way (safe) for me to get one?

Good news:

- I won an auction for a competition pro usb blue, it's already shipped, i hope this one won't be broken...

The UK company http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/ sell the X-Arcade units and ship worldwide.

DC might however know of a shop that sells them closer to you to reduce postage costs.

I don't know any shop that sells the X-Arcade here in Europe, so I guess the UK should be the nearest, however you can do a search and find someone closer, if existing. I bought mine in the US, but that's already some time ago, I got it for 150$ (dual version).

I only know a shop in France who sells very nice cabinets.

But i think i'll go for http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/, the x-arcade solo has a modified version with a sanwa joystick... I'm gonna have a week at home this summer, i'll try to manage the things so i'll be there for the delivery... Also, OMG, have you seen this: http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/products/zombie.htm I know, the price is killing but what a beauty...

Have you looked at the Army of Dreams site, they have some nice cabs too.

Yeah, the black pearl is really nice but i prefer the control panel of the zombie. To be honest, if you are looking for my next birthday gift, i'd be very happy with any of those (hint)

There are some amazing MAME arcade cabinets available to order these days. I've still not begun to remake mine, but I also had the idea to use an LCD screen to replace the very large and heavy 21" CRT I had in my old cabinet. Some of these new LCD based cabinets will give me a load of ideas on how to build my new one.

I wouldn't personally buy a pre-made cabinet. I would much rather build one from scratch, or customise a vintage real one.
