While surfing the web a couple of days ago, I stumbled across a couple of pages dedicated to a marvelous construct known as a MAME cabinet (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). After some extensive research into the idea of a MAME cabinet and the costs associated with building such a great machine, I decided to embark on a mission to build one of my own.This is the start of the journal I will be keeping as I make progress throughout the project. I will be utilizing my latest toy - my Canon PowerShot S110 - to visually keep track of my progress.
Useful Links:
- Lusid's Arcade Flashback (using the .PDF design from this site for the basic cabinet design) (Since 2001, this site has gone offline)
- Russ Mame Cabinet (good controls info - uses PDF design above)
- Build Your Own Arcade Controls FAQ (self-explanitory)
- Scott's Unicade (great controls set-up - probably going to go this route - see pic to the left)
