I should explain a bit about my love-hate relationship with these machines. Back in the day, around'98 and '99 the arcades in my country were becoming less and less popular. They only had lots of gambling games and maybe two pins in the end. Arcade games were no longer profitable with the rise in better home gaming hardware. The last few Streetfighter ' II machines in my local cafeteria and pub were replaced with Photoplay terminals. I was pissed. It was Photoplay's fault they removed my sf2!!! 20 Years later, i came to exact my revenge and dump all of them.
During my research i became fascinated with these games, and they earned my respect. Many of the harddisks i dumped showed a story of entertainment and love.  . No not really. They showed a money hungry operator can make thousands with these little pc based magic machines. Bookkeeping is intact in many of them, and you can see they brought in at least a thousand per month on good locations. I have one machine with a hardware coin cointer sitting around 67.000 coins in. That $30.000. At least now i know why they replaced the Street Fighter machines.
And as anyone with a love for modern electronic antiques: These have (at least) a pretty 486DX4/100 inside.. who can resist that?
I have some form of driver working in at586, but it's not a quality one and more of a hack.
I hope to find some time to get it in a decent shape and maybe even submit it one day

I still need to add proper touch handling to the microtouch driver as well. That's why i use 'dostouch' as this is working and the 2001 image used supports 'real' mouse input.
Edit: "operator can MAKE 1000's".
