@zanzibarlegend: seriously?

Robotube

Gee, for someone who gets to own Street Fighter IV in his home before most people, he sure does a lot of complaining...

DukeOfPwn

@gilley:
So, hey you want to invite some Kotaku friends over for an oldschool SF tourney! =)

-EDGE-

@SpishackCola:

Another I/O board is 100 bucks

gilley

@xAnarChisTx:

100 bucks

gilley

btw, it's not a supergun as one poster said. It's the actual Taito system. Big difference.

JaseDH

@t0yrobo:

Good job watching the video dude, I said I bought 2 boards for 2 player!!

gilley

Ouch, fried one board. That couldn't have been cheap :/ Other than that, pretty nice he was able to get it to work (albeit at a crappy resolution) on his TV.

SpishackCola

22"??? get it on a Big Ass 50" HDTV, if he can afford two arcade boards he can afford the big ass TV!!

Also whats with the wires every where?, if you are going to do something do it proper, use that old PC case and get it sprayed up in Street Fighter 4 Decals sort a proper cable from the Stick to the Board, or at least gut a Snes and put it in there! can you imagine that under your TV in Snes casing..

haritori

Bah, wouldn't even be worth it, if he was missing out on all of that screen real estate.

And I'll agree with him, it does sound like a jet engine. And I don't want to hear a jet engine that close. Just ask Travis Barker. :(

DoomDoomDoom

@zenius:
For what? Purchasing a copy of the arcade board? Sure, most of those things say not for sale outside territory X, but you don't see Capcom going after the few arcades left in the US here. People buy/sell/trade boards of all types that aren't meant for a specified region.

StupidDufus

TheNocturnalSun

Why not just keep the arcade version intact instead of trying to "consolize" it? well, people must have their reasons...

I have always dreaming of having a full-blown arcade cabinet (for whatever game was the rage at the time) in my house.

TheContender

Looks interesting but I just couldn't justify the investment for that...

I'll just happily wait for console. :)

SMDoles

Oh man, he fried one of the boards because the schematic was backwards? I wonder how much that cost him!

xAnarChisTx

It's a supergun, nothing terribly special. What's amazing is the guy shelled out a huge amount of cash for a fighting game that he can't even play two player on.

t0yrobo

@firelogic: As much as I'd like to play the game in my home right now, I wouldn't want to screw with my home theater setup. Like I said, I'd like a version with the bugs worked out and extra characters.

Plus, there's a ton of games on my pile of shame to get through, and I don't need another one.

But yeah, it does sound like hating. I'm not hating, btw, just saying I'm patient and can wait until 2009.

banana_ridah

These are the kind of epic tales that make girls fall to a man's feet in bars.

Ashurahori

but where do you insert quarters for continues?

FAIL :P

zanzibarlegend

i'd wait for the console. i read that arcade board was going for like 20 grand or something. but kudos to that guy for gettin it setup like that tho.

DoomLight

capcom will sue

zenius

@banana_ridah: ease up there because if you were given the chance to hook that baby up to your TV you'd jump at it. Don't be downplaying what this guy did just because it's not you.

firelogic

He recorded this 30 minutes before the Police arrested him.

Orionsaint

Awesome. You spent a ton of time and energy to get the arcade version of the game, when in five months and for $60, you could get the same thing, plus additional characters and the bugs worked out.

Cheers, friend.

banana_ridah

@Ad-hominem: Incredibly awe-inspiring, but not impressive? Sounds impossibly plausible, probably.

[Dextr]

@pewpewlazer: Because that'd be boring.

housewarmer

Jeez is'nt that arcade board buku expensive? The dOOd must be rolling in cash! Damn, wonder if he needs a few friends over =)

-EDGE-

This is essentially what all arcade games are now anyways, so it's not the impressive.
I mean, it's still incredibly awesome, it's just not impressive.

Ad-hominem

If he gets rid of the wires that's pretty sweet. Personally I'l wait a few months :p

Jekht

I would get distracted by all that noise coming from the board while playing... but kudos to him for making me jealous.

Grimalkin

Crazy but cool....

Daemonstalker

He couldn't just wait a bit for the $60 console version?

pewpewlazer

Although I find it a waste of money, that is an extremely awesome project to work on. If it were my own project I would of boxed and put protection over all those open wires. I like to be as neat as possible with that stuff.

ninjikiran

Much props to referencing the Todd Tuckey.

I admire the Gilley, I wouldn't go through that much trouble. I'd end up just waiting for it to come out on a console.

But I think Doritos just has one "r"...

Eltigro

It's nice, but I mean like people before said its only special because he shelled out a ton of cash. Shame to not have that in a nice cabinet. I like the stick though.

HioMrSan

I see a whole lot of people missing the point. But hey, it's easy and fun to hate on people because deep down, you're really just jealous. Admit it. ;)

GlibGamer

Just think once he gets all the bugs worked out some twerp with even more time and money will probably buy it from him.......

Zatoichi666

@Orionsaint: arrested for what? Buying arcade boards? In that case, I'm on the lam myself.

Robotube

@ludwigk:

I doubt it, capcom makes more money this way

gilley

@Robotube:

Oh I know. It's just the way it's thrown around the room. It looks like he ripped it off an arcade machine.

Orionsaint

@Ashurahori: so you wanna come back to my place for......SOME STREET FIGHTER 4!!111!1!1

Rambonz

@gilley: I had heard that you had to purchase them in pairs, and that they support network play, but its because each board only has one-player mode on it? So, will they ever support two player, or will there be a board later that does?

ludwigk

@zanzibarlegend: I am assuming that you are merely joking. After all, it is pretty common knowledge that an arcade machine can be set up for free play...(or in MAME, hit 5, then 1 for 1 player).

relic1980

@Rambonz: I wouldn't just go home with him, I'd cook his favorite meals, give him footrubs, and hold him like a mother does.

n8n8baby

I hope that guy dies a hundred horrible, agonizing deaths.

/bitter

Genocyde

Gilley you rock bro!!! I would of done exactly the same as you dude!! How much was the entire set up, minus TV and stuff? Just the boards and the game, just out of interest? To all the nay sayers if you have played SFIV then you would know its well worth the money!!!

Dusk777

These videos need more zombies.

tomjonjon

im jealous, but i want fullscreen...

Pupnasty

This is exactly what the Replay arcade in Brisbane did for SF4.

I kid you not, their setup is 2 arcade boards transplanted into a Virtual Tennis system, connected to Samsung HDTVs. With a cardboard box on top covered in SF4 posters.

A bit of a bodge job, but I don't think anyone takes points away for presentation.

TrjnRabbit

@JaseDH: Er, how so? All a Supergun does is provide a power supply, joystick connections and TV out for arcade hardware.

Grave

it's true - this man has no penis

ac2334

@relic1980: correct my friend :D

zanzibarlegend

@Robotube: i kid holmes :D

zanzibarlegend

Or he could have spent less and waited patiently with the rest of us to play Street Fighter II 3D edition... I mean IV

Demonbird

I can't wait for the X-Box 360 version to come out: 2 X-Box 360's, 2 copies of the game, and a network =P to play 2 player local play. ;D

RaginFox

@TrjnRabbit: That's how alot of setups are around Cali. Lots of homebrew cabinets or frankensteining of old cabinets. When people want their SF4 fix, they'll do whatever it takes.

P.S. I, again, hope all the bad things in life happen to Gilleybaba and ONLY Gilleybaba, I hate your gutssssss.

Genocyde

I bet he gets a lotta free pizza and wings with that setup.

"Hey Gilley! Can I come over and play SF4!?!"

"Sure....you know what kind of pizza I like...don't show up without it."

"OKAY!!"

Knoxximus (XBL/PSN)

dood thats sweet

Jedi-iLLmatic

This type of thing isn't the first time almost all Windows XP based Arcades have been also cracked to play on a regular Windows XP

djricekcn

Oh. my. So much money for a SF4 card and it runs on so little screen space.

moidsch

@ac2334:

What about the Twinkie?

Strangelove

@RaginFox: I wish I could edit my post after the fact... Hrmm...? How 'bout it Kotaku?

RaginFox

Anyone noticed that frankenstein stuff was even noisier than a 360?

dmfamzo

@dmfamzo: That's because it's an arcade. Arcade fans are noisy, except maybe a MVS.

djricekcn

I cracked up at the box of keychains, that was just gold.

Kamizzle

Why is it that people that do cool stuff like this are always the most horrible video camera users have annoyingly monotone voices? Come on! We need some higher production value in our leaked/hacked/haha-I-have-it-and-you-don't videos.

scad

I think it would have been better if soulja boy did the video

physalis925

I'm way to much of a neat freak to have all those wires everywhere. Yuck! Arcade version or not, I'd rather wait for the console version if I gotta go all McGuyver and make a mess.

Rampage

@tomjonjon: I'm afraid this is one of those things that actually doesn't need zombies to be more awesome. What has the world come to?!?

dslsd64

he spent all that money on all that stuff but cant even spend even 10-20 bucks for a simple tripod.

hell you can fashion a tripod out of wooden scraps in a cave.

pnoy.otaku

@RaginFox: you know, people keep asking for an edit button. i dont mean to be a dick here, but how about you read what youve typed BEFORE you post the damn thing.

try the preview comment box in the bottom left of what youre typing. reading that is exactly the same as what you do after you hurry to go read your post after its in the comments...

see, i just did it. works great.

karl_hungus

When someone does something like this, why do all the girlfriend/women comments have to be dragged out of the closet again?

So the guy likes his games and spent a lot of money to play them.

So what? I hope he's having fun with it. Maybe he has a girlfriend or wife, maybe not, who really cares? If you think that's the be all and end all of existence, you have some growing up to do.

Starts coming off as jealousy, to be quite honest.

system11

@djricekcn: Actually, it's because he's using the power supply from an old computer.

Poisonous Taoist

Resolution phailure.

Alexeh

@Alexeh: Every ounce of envy I had for this guy was thrown out the window when I saw the tiny cell phone screen this guy was playing on.

SavidDaunders

He must have shelled out a pretty penny for the SFIV board. one of the guys who works at the china town arcade told me that Capcom only sells them in sets of two or 4 and it runs something like $1200 or $4000 or something like that to buy ém. This guy should have just waited. Honestly, its awesome to play when nobody else can but he can't go full screen and in like Dec or something he can buy it on 360 or PS3 for 60 beans. Patience young grasshopper.

Lex Eskobar

@Rampage: he said that he just hooked itup and the wires were temporary.

Jagzi11a

@pnoy.otaku: I'm proud of him for going through all of that to do something non of us did. instead of nit picking every little thing he did wrong, but we should celebrate his hard work. Well and the fact that he has streetfighter and we are out side in the cold rain, looking in on his fun.

Jagzi11a

This reminds me of when I was a kid and would hookup crap to my parents new Large Screen Projection TV that I wasn't supposed to.

Images of playing BARD'S TALE (original) and WASTELAND (the precursor to the FALLOUT Series)ran through my head as I watched this.

GoonieGooGoo2

Wow, just to be able to play with the settings of the arcade version makes it worth the price of admission.

And big bonus points for playing SFIV during an earthquake.

Enochrewt

lucky bastard

KREEPYKRAWLLY

He better charge his friends at least a quarter to play.

lc204

Hello! It's called a TRIPOD! I think I'm gonna puke. (I get motion sick)

Android8675

Crazy, but there is a wired mess every where. That is where crazy becomes failure. Clean it up and then you have my envy. Who am I kidding?! I have wires like this, and I don't even have SFIV. T_T

firstworldman

@Jagzi11a: I respect his belongings and everything (especially that modded sc3 arcade stick hes got with sanwa parts nontheless) but if youre gonna show off your stuff, make sure its not blurry or shaky. this video is a combination of both which made it hard for me to enjoy watching the video.

pnoy.otaku

I think I'll wait for the console port... Screw playing it at such a small resolution.

HowlTheMage

I can't wait for Street Fighter IV now! If its already done for the arcade version what's taking them so long for the 360 and PS3 version?

Beta @ Random

@pewpewlazer: He's gonna sale the board to an arcade to make some of the cash back when the console version comes out. At least thats his initial plan, he should probably keep the board and buy more games and invite me over when i'm in cali though. DO IT GILLEY.

Nydrin

The guy loses credit for the sheer size of the screen thats not being used. I'll just wait for the console version, oh and for the writer who states it's not the same...come on man grow up.

EmperorExile

The actual board he purchased is available for purchase from coinopexpress.com 6399 bucks a board. So paying 20k i assume you get the special cabinet and everything.

xOUTLIVEx

You could imagine just how much free practice he gets on SF4, now. And people would wonder how players come to the arcade with so much skill already.
