Donc, par l'entrejambemise de Tronky, je suis tombé sur cette merveille : http://ec.tops-game.jp/products/list.ph ... ory_id=111
J'ai tourné autour du pot avant de le remplir et j'ai donc cédé, je l'ai commandé et il a été expédié aujourd'hui.
J'ai réalisé une traduction du site en anglais pour Arcade Otaku que je reprends ici en guise de présentation de la bête :

1. Regular (no particular name)
2. Silent package (using Sanwa silent levers and buttons)

4. Full package (with the other packages options included, see after)
Also, it can be ordered

Item details
First of it’s kind, equipped with HDMI and VGA high-quality output!
It is a control box that can play arcade games on consumer LCD TV (through HDMI) or on LCD PC monitor (through VGA)!
The HDMI picture is perfectly converted from VGA, so that the picture quality is the same!
(There is no deterioration of picture quality like when converting from video os S-video to HDMI.)
Since the HDMI and VGA are output simultaneously, it is possible to record the game without the need of a splitter.
It can also be connected to a legacy RGB monitor.
◆ The body is made of durable and beautiful stainless steel.
The moderate weight of the stainless allows for a stable play.
◆ The panel is carbon styled and the 2 levers and 12 buttons are all Seimitsu made.
◆ The panel is 50cm wide (it is the same as the likes of Street II or Aero). That means Sega Aero City and Street Fighter II panels.
※ The interval between the 2 levers is optimized for the best Street Fighter II experience.
◆ The top panel portion can be easily opened and closed, which makes maintenance a breeze~♪
The levers and buttons all use quick disconnect terminals, which allows for an easy exchange.

Cela me semble vraiment être le supergun ultime. En tout cas, je suis vraiment tombé amoureux de la bestiole, j'espère ne pas le regretter.
J'ai commandé la version full package ainsi que tous les accessoires, je ferai un test complet de la bête et je regarderai comment améliorer la chose.
Principalement, je vois trois pistes :
- le Gonbes (notamment, modification du firmware),
- l'ajout de scanlines,
- un système simplifié de changement de panel.
Pas grand chose, en fait, tout le reste semble vraiment niquel.
Ah, si, mettre de vrais boutons à la place des Seimitsu.
