Cynthetiq: I do have a network card in the PC, but I don't have a jack for it on the back. Hmmmmm, thanks for the new idea.

Locobot: I will try to stain it sometime in the near future. If that doesn't go well, then I will paint.

Dark_Prophecy: I probably have around $1000 in it now. The PC was my spare - 850Mhz, 512SDRam, ATI 8500. I know I wasted some parts since this was my first time. I figure if I started over, I'd be looking at $1100 - $1200 not including the PC. I'd get top of the line parts, and add a rollerball.

Quackers goes retro - My new baby

As a child of the 80s - and the arcades - I've been fantasizing about one of these for a long time. I finally made the plunge. My very own MAME arcade cabinet down in my basement. It's a do-it-yourself kit from Hanaho Games. It's designed to be something you sit on stools and play, but I wanted to recreate the true experience (minus the acne) and didn't want to pay extra for a riser, so made my own, which ain't perfect, but isn't bad.

I'm a proud, proud papa! Who wants to take me on at Gyrus??

Heh. While it lacks those amenities, it does have an Xbox, GameCube, PS2 and 52" big screen, so that's a start. Next on my wish list is something my brother-in-law built - a cooler converted into a beer tap with up to six types of beer. It doesn't appear too difficult to build - and isn't prohibitively expensive (though it'll be a while before I can afford to try).

Not that I know of. Someone I work with bought a classic Gauntlet machine at one of the auctions that are held around here periodically. I got this kit from a very cool company out of California - but I don't know of anyone else who has one.

It's worth it for the opportunity to realistically recreate the Robotron experience!

When Yoshi moved in right before we got married, I realized the main floor of my house would be covered with flowers and girly things in a very short period of time. I decided to claim the basement as my own.

MAME Fuckin Rules!!!!!!!!!

I cant tell you how awsome that thing is unless you already have it . It blows my mind how many wicked games you cant find around or that are still at the arcades you can play on this thing. I wanna give a massive shout out to the guy or gal who created it cause theres nothin better than sittin in the comfies of my own home goin down memory lane with some Yie Ar Kung Fu or Metal Slug. Its sick to think I spent years looking around at pawn shops and game stores spending 20 dollars for classic nes and snes games and they can all be located and downloaded online. Bless the internet because its finally come up with something worthwhile......aside from free porn.

Yes, MAME is definately great for us old school peeps . If I had the extra money and extra time I would love to build a MAME standup unit or gut an old standup machine and insert a comp running MAME. Would be a great addition to a game room.

I've been wanting to build a cabinet for ages now, although I suppose comparibly I'm a bit young (born in 1984) compared to most MAME fanatics, but i've loved emulators for ages.

I'm actually going to start on the cabinet in the fall, because I'll be moving into a house with some friends for my second year at University. first step is the control panel.

I've been researching a bit and i'm going for a 2 player panel with buttons on the sides for pinball. I don't want to risk the 4 player until perhaps a second cab.

i love seeing pictures of finished cabs though. awesome job you guys.

[edit]
By the way, I wanted to add that I love the idea of putting castors on the botton of the cabinet. I hadn't even thought of that before. I made a note for myself. Thanks for the tip

I've noticed that most sites are pulling their ROMs off cuz of legal issues. A couple of years ago you could get anything but now it takes some work to get the ones you want.

Anybody got a good site to find them?

Playing old arcade games is like no other game. It is classic, and is a total 180 from the games of today in most areas. It is my dream to buy old arcade games later on in life, when I actually make real money. Until that time, roms are my friend.

A buddy of mine paid about $300 for a standard two button, stand-up, two player arcade cabinet with In The Hunt (Side-scrolling submarine shooter) and.... some soccer game that I remember from back in the day, but can't remember the name of right now. He was able to pick up a few more arcade boards on ebay for little more than 15$ each.

I once had the opportunity to buy a Galaga '88 tabletop machine for $200 when the restaurant I was working at, which housed the machine, closed it's doors. I didn't have the money (plus I had just lost my job), so I couldn't, but imagine how sweet it would have been to be able to eat breakfast and play Galaga '88 on the same table!

I find that these older games have way more replay value than almost any new game.. And they dont even have fancy sounds and gfx... I think its because these people had to more time into the acctual game then into what there gunna use for all the effects and what not. I dont think there is as much effort in alot of new games in that aspect.

Got an Xarcade control system for christmas. It lets me hook up two real arcade controllers to my PC or any of the game systems with adapters. It is supported by MAME so I just need to get it setup!

I just started using IRC. How do you find the right channel?

Isn't directly linking to rom sites considered warez ? If you've got a good connection and some luck, you could try Kazaa or some other file-sharing doohicky; I once had the pleasure of being able to download over 40 large MAME roms in one afternoon.

Try http://www.packetnews.com .

Anyway, I recommend the Metal Slug series, Alien vs Predator, Marvel vs Street Fighter and the King of Fighters series.

I'm looking to build a mame cabinet myself, does anyone know of one that has been built with two monitors to play cyberball tournament with the head to head monitors?

Other ideas I have that aren't necessarily all to go on a dual cabinet, but I would like to be able to use a steering wheel and foot pedal for games like "hard drivin". Anyone ever seen a foot pedal attached to a mame cabinet?

Thanks - and the cabinets here by the way kick some serious ass. Good work guys!

Slightly o/t but anyone know if the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles arcade game is included with the new Turtles game (Battle Nexus?) as an extra?

Read this rumour on another forum and reviews over here dont seem to mention it.
