How To Buy A Vewlix

[@Johjibebop]

Used to work for Round 1 and working on this cabinet was a beauty. Always loved working on it and admiring the cabinet. To me it was the perfect modern pcb cabinet.

[@_Tizoc_]

Couldn't agree more! The only one more coveted in my opinion are the Magi Dead high tops

[@demi6662]

i know this is late to ask but i live by a round 1 do you think they would sell me the cabinet and a game board?

[@thelegendcollector8538]

My favorite arcade cabinet of all time!!

Hi we have vewlix machine

[@antiWhiteism777]

​@_Tizoc_ --- Is it possible to connect this to a PC or console to use as a monitor, speaker, controller to play games from them instead of using the arcade board? Or is this basically a PC in a cabinet already and could be used to play PC games and emulation directly? I think it would just be cool to sit in front of it and use the arcade controls to play different PC and console games. Also, could console controllers or keyboards and mouse be connected wired/wirelessly?

[@_Tizoc_]

@@antiWhiteism777 I play PS4 on mine all the time - it’s especially fun for playing the ladder in fighting games online. I wire my internet into my room and into the cabinet to make sure I have a great connection.

I tried getting a vewlix from KC but he dodges questions and answers everything with dont worry we can sort it out later. Inspires no confidence and I really dont know how he sells stuff. And I'm local so fortunate to have the auction close by to buy any machine at good prices.

[@_Tizoc_]

Im not into captains because the prices alway end up crazy, are you happy with those transactions?

[@lexxtsg2328]

@@_Tizoc_ I used to buy from them like ten years ago, sometimes I could get a beat up cab with neo geo or whatever for 50 to 100 bucks. Now prices are super high. Candies were 400 and also you can tell the good stuff is gone already and in collectors houses but you can get lucky sometimes.

[@lucifer1978b]

what are the differences between the Vewlix Diamond Black, Blue & Orange ? other than the color

[@_Tizoc_]

They each have different speakers, monitors, and stock IOs. Some people report that build quality is different as well. Generally the best reviews for build quality between all vewlix models go with diamond blue and FC as the best build quality wise. FCs are JVS, Blues are Fastio, and Oranges are USBIo which is the least known-about IO and some say doesn’t even have a real standard. Blacks come with fastio and usbio from what I’ve seen depending on what’s running in it. I think Fastio is still the most common in a black. Fastio is the most popular IO for the current multis available. The nicest monitors and speakers generally are in the newest cabinets with orange being the newest and black being next newest. My orange has much louder speakers than my blue did but my blue diamond did feel a bit more robust in its raw materials. My orange is in a more collectible condition though. If this was super confusing no worries- I will probably make another video more explicitly exploring the difference between models soon. Will definitely get a bit more into the nitty gritty on IOs and monitors as well and I’ll look around if I can find specs for the speakers.

[@AR-tk9qh]

Nope. Black and orange are the same. Same same. Only the colors are different. USB io jvs io and fast io are optional for all except for f and FC which came with jvs and jvs psu. F and FC came with sanwa. Blue with panasonic/toshiba. All were 768p and up scaling available for blue. Black and orange have the same screen which is 1080p. Best colors and contrast are blue Dia screens which were ips.

Hi, I wonder if anybody can help, my vewlix is a type c running a taito type x3. I have a JA0100 transformer 230v step-down 100v. My cab powers off after 10 minutes. What is the current and wattage output of a vewlix cab? And what type of transformer should I get? I think my transformer can't support the cab 😕

what country are you in?

@@_Tizoc_ uk. I've sorted the proble out. The ja0100 was drawing too much power to what it's capable of so I've ordered a new transformer. The cab runs sweet. Also bud a quick question, is there any specific brook fighting board I need for the vewlix? Which one do you use? Thanks in advance

Isn’t it $30? That’s how much I remember it being. Maybe I’m wrong. TBH I never needed a bracket or I might have made my own by now. Definitely not interested in misleading anyone.
