Anyone has one or knows where to get in Malaysia?

How do arcade centers get their machines? Surely must have some distributor.

Distributor=PDRM. They confiscate the machines from unlicensed shops and distribute it to licensed shop. LOL.

Haha... can imagine PDRM house got even better gaming room than ours.

If old machine maybe PDRM has it, but what about new arcade machine? Sure got distributor somewhere

you can try googling for AllGaming Sdn Bhd...

in the mean time lemme dig for their agent's namecard..

I believe this website will give you another inspiration.
http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade.htm

Wonder how the arcade centers operate .... based on lease machines or buy. And what happens to the old machines... hmm.

Interesting to know.

If im not wrong.. They would normally purchase the machines.... never heard of leasing. Old machines.. are normally pushed to other outlets..
TKA (Msia/Singapore) and Cosmic(Penang) are rather huge here.

You can visit www.tkaworld.com , they sell arcade machines n cabinets.

Wah... their website looks good, started from Singapore and have grown.

But no mention of sale or prices.

those old arcade machine can only play 1 game. most people go for cabinet with MAME. http://www.x-arcade.com/htm/cabinetimages.shtml#images

basic setup cost around 3k, in USD. that's why a lot of people built their own.

OH ... forgot to give the website for COSMIC. Here u go www.cosmic.com.my They use to put the prices on their website. For a PCB board of old games, its around RM1k. Cabinet is around Rm4-5k , new games can go up to RM7-14k.

Yea its not pratical to buy a single game machine. Unless u r the arcade owner. Maintenance of the machine also will kill.

Go Sungai Wang or Ipoh Parade thr playing arcade gameslo

What kind of maintenance is there? Isn't it the same as home consoles?

remember chandler(friends series) play arcade game, pac man in his house.

Hmm... the monitor(projector type) i heard doesnt last long need to change wor.. , machines needs maintenance.. buttons rosaks, stix cacat... all of a sudden no sound... its complicated.

The parts isnt tat cheap. For a button its RM8 , sticks Rm65...

I see. I thought the stick and buttons are stronger than the home consoles. So many people whack the machines, but can tahan, compared to home versions.

As for screen and sound, not sure what kind.

Will be cool to have one.

How to get the arcade machine?

hmm...this is something i am interested in also...

If you guys are interested....i heard abt recond machines complete sets, but without games.

There are ppl doing this recond business in town...

I was thinking of buying the cabinet and then from there figure out how to install a working mame system into it....

They say u can get a used good cabinet complete with A/V, TV and controls and all minus games for less then 2 k

Games range from few hundred onwards.....phew depending on how new and popular it is...

i thought arcade game is illegal in malaysia to own 1??

Only if it's gambling.

its illegal if u have an activated coin slot on ur cabinet. Gambling machine is a different thing all together.

There is a device to hook up your PS2/xbox into the arcade cabinet... Will post the link when i find it.

I wish I know where to find one too

sorry for reviving old topic
curiously
for pinball machines
know anywhere to find locally?

Wah. It's nice to have an arcade machine inside the house. It was my dream back then to own a Daytona machine in the house.

i also wana play daytona,ever mastered the hard difficulties.

If you are into fighting games, the next best thing would be to get a couple of good joysticks. The Hori Real Arcade Pro uses components from the actual arcade machines. Cost about RM400 each.

Wrong, only the stick is arcade component, the buttons are Hori's. If you want real arcade component then you can choose between Madcatz SF4 TE stick or wait for HRAP SE, nearing RM1000

wah so mahal !!!!

True, buttons are Hori. But seriously, I love fighting games, and they're fine to use. I'll only swap them out when they stop working. To me, not worth the extra cost of the SE. Of course, if you have the money to burn, then by all means. Gunning for a couple of Madcatz TE's myself.

That being said, I still believe that for anyone who loves fighting games, a couple of good joysticks does a lot to bring the arcade experience home, at a fraction of the cost of getting an actual arcade cabinet.

is xpensive arcade sticks more accurate than the cheap ones and better durability for bashing?

Yup the joysticks I use are very accurate, I manage to do whatever I need to. Not much of a basher, I tend to tap the buttons, but some of my family are, no probs so far. The joysticks are very solid, and can take a bit of bashing. Definitely worth the investment, if you're into fighting games.

Just in case you're wondering, I'm using two Hori Real Arcade Pros, for the PS2, and I also use it on the Wii using a Gamecube converter. Currently eyeing either a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 (should be similar to mine) or the Madcatz Tournament Edition for PS3 woot!
