Hi everyone!
I'm from Perth, and I bought a neglected but functional LAI Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting cabinet a few weeks ago. My plan is to put in a PC running MAME and replace all the controls but use the original monitor. This is my first time working with an arcade cabinet, and I've done a bunch of research but still have a lot to learn - Chris @ OzStick was very helpful and generous with his time when I called about ordering some parts, and he pointed me towards this forum.
I'll be making a post in the Arcade repair (or maybe MAME project?) forum in the near future with more details of my project and my million or so questions!
Until then, happy to be here and learn a thing or two while working on the arcade machine of my dreams!
