WTB: Portraits Olympia pcb board

If not correctly emulated (expecially the camera handling) MAME is not an option anyway unfortunately

I would MAME it, it is badly hacked already.

To me this says: make it a 2-player 6-button cab with mame in it, it's not original anyway. This makes me think he has given up the cab already so it doesn't matter if it's going to be a Mame machine or not.

Don't get me wrong, no offense to Syn9.  I just want to say: restore it! At least try to

sooner or later original cab will be revived

[vernimark]

No mame...i would like only original

 

[synonym9]

As far as your work is reversible , i do not see any problem using MAME to revive a classic.

I agree. If you cannot get a working PCB it is OK for me to use Mame. But I really don't want to see an original and rare cab to be transformed to a 2 player 6 button fighting machine running mame


And there are other forums with lots of people turning dedicated cabs into Mame or xxxxin1-Machines 

That's not the way most of the guys around use to go

Did'nt take much to change your opinion 180°......did I say anything about 2-player/6 button-setup???

[synonym9]

I think that game is not properly emulated in MAME.
What about the Portraits found in "the road trip of the century"? No PCB in that one?

I am still to busy with it and other operator-raids....so I did'nt look inside my Portraits yet, why do you ask?

[Q*ris]

Because if your cab is complete, you could properly dump the roms for MAME and help the community.

nice

There are two ways to use Mame on dedicated cabs...one is OK, the other one is totally wrong. I assumed you wanted to suggest to do it the wrong way.

[Tyrem]

no problem with getting something wrong. i still do not like the attitude that some people seem to have. i guess this will never change.
