My New MAME Cabinet Project
Isn’t She Beautiful!
This is the beginning of my future MAME cabinet. I have a friend in my town who owns a large billiard hall, and he had this old Neo-Geo game that the screen has gone out on, so I was able to pick this baby up for less than 100 bucks and have it brought to my house. The inside part works perfectly, so I’m sure I can sell that on E-bay.
I am thinking that I will repaint the entire thing, put a regular TV inside and mount it, and I have not decided if I will buy the controller set from x-arcade or if I will build my own.
I also plan to make a custom marque, stickers, and lighting. I will be mounting speaker inside also. I am not sure what I will use as the system, as I have a few to choose from.
I have a working old p4 setup that I can use, and I also have an older laptop with S-Video out that I could use. I will update further when I make some decisions in that area. Shane is supposed to be checking on a Knoppix bootable linux iso with MAME and a gui interface already installed, but if that doesn’t work out, I can always boot windows and use MAME and build my own front end or use one that I can find out there already.
If anyone else needs one of these sweet cabinets, I think I have access to two or three more. I will update this post later, when I have more time to re-write everything, and update with some more info.
