Just realized I never posted the side art I mocked up, it's not bad, but my attempt at the "clouds" isn't great haha. I did end up selling the machine, but maybe this will help someone in the future. https://files.catbox.moe/f1jde5.png https://files.catbox.moe/ejkoyq.png

Would you meet me halfway at $800? I think $650 is a bit lower than I’d like to sell it for.

SOLD $800 Hi, everyone! I'm looking to sell my House of the Dead cabinet that was converted from a Virtua Cop 2. It's been repainted, has new T-Molding and been cleaned inside and out and runs darn well considering the machine has over 100,000 plays on it. This sale includes the cabinet and...

Update. Replaced a bulging cap but still no luck. Ended up having to order a new PSU from Suzo Happ. It sucks but at least I can play House of the Dead now :thumbsup:

Hello. I'm still working on converting a Virtua Cop 2 into a House of the Dead. Unfortunately, I've run into another issue after hooking up my new HotD board. The power supply has started hissing. The monitor does not turn on and I can't hear any sound out of the speakers. It honestly scared me...

Came across this thread which described a similar issue. Just had to bridge earth ground and regular ground on the PSU. Seems to be a common issue in Suzo Happ PSUs. Monitor looks good, still didn’t solve the light gun issue though ||...

Hello. I’m slowly working on repairing a Virtua Cop 2 and the monitor needs some attention. It has these thin lines at a slight angle that move across the screen. These are different from refresh lines as they’re visible with the eye. I’m suspecting a grounding issue or possibly a monitor pot...

I’m working on restoring a Virtua Cop 2 and I ended up botching a wire repair on the wire that runs from the game board to the audio amp. Does anyone have a spare or know where I can purchase a replacement? Here’s a photo of the wire (before I messed up lol).

Yeah. I’ve come to that conclusion as well. I’m going to try my hand at restoring the artwork since I’ve come across a few high quality photos of it. I’ll post my results here if it turns out decent.

I have the upright mirrored cabinet.

Hey, everyone, I'm currently in the process of converting a Virtua Cop 2 into a House of the Dead. As far as I'm aware, HotD cabinets were produced using the same design as a VC2 mirror cabinet or a conversion kit was sold (not sure which one is true). But, I have seen multiple photos and...

Hi, all, I'm looking to purchase a House of the Dead 1 PCB w/ cage and the filter board. I'm actually converting a VC2 into a HotD cabinet, so if anybody could point me in the direction of reproduction side art and CPO art that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!

Hi all. I'm interested in purchasing my first candy cabinet. Looking mainly for Astro City, Blast City, or Naomi Universal. I'm hoping that someone has something semi-local, NC or SC preferably. Working or non-working I'd be interested in both. I'm absolutely aware of importers, but I'd still...

Hi, everyone. I've lurked Arcade Projects for a couple years now, it was a great resource while I was working on my Neo-Geo Goldie. I decided to join because I'm looking to add more cabinets to my lineup and have decided on acquiring a few candy cabinets. I'm planning on having a cabinet for a...
