Revision of Sha8doW's MAME Arcade Machine from Thu, 25/11/2010 - 20:52
So, It arrived today….
My Arcade Machine
At the moment, the machine is a JAMMA cabinet. I.E it works (minus the joysticks/buttons being wired in) so if I wanted to I could connect the buttons and joysticks and play “superman” ready to play.
What I am about to embark upon is the conversion of this cabinet into a MAME machine.
Using a number of cool items, ill be plugging a PC into this cabinet and running the PC and multiple arcade games through the cabinet using the sticks etc
So more updates to follow, peoples are invited to come visit and have some fun putting it together, I’ve got all the bits, just need to connect it all up and get the PC working.
More photos in the post.
I’ll keep you all posted… guess we are gunna rock on at shads 30th

Very c00l
Very c00l Shad =)
Any plans f0r upgrades t0 the display? I w0uld imagine y0u w0uld prefer t0 preserve the authenticity as much as p0ssible, and the hassle 0f trying t0 fit a 16:9 size screen int0 the space 0f a 4:3 might be a bit m0re extra busy w0rk then is needed.
Als0 c0ntr0l sticks. Are y0u using 0ld 0riginal 0nes, 0r are y0u g0ing t0 g0 f0r new 0nes?
I w0uld l0ve t0 help 0ut s0metime, in whatever way I can. n0t the best with.. anything really, haha. But give me a pr0cedure and I can f0ll0w that. =p Hey it g0t me t0 Jupiter and back safe and s0und… ;p
EDIT: Als0, I can imagine a nice IPX Eagle in that white clear space at the t0p 0f the system. Where did th0se bumper stickers g0? xD
Nice
The old display might be a bugger, because they had weird resolutions and refresh rates and the like.
Can’t wait to see you playing the Metal Slug series on this one though: it’s a game that needs an old school joystick setup to really rock.

What an awesome game. Remmeber that from the atari 2600.
Mame case is looking awesome Shad.
My next installment will answer some of
Those questions, the arcade monitor will remain. As long as I’m happy with it’s quality. I’ve got a special piece of kit (arcade VGA card) whcih will fix those issues.
I am contemplating either repainting it to blue or to black.
And that top picutre dealie will be replaced by some nice tank font teamipx lettering.
Interested in more on the vynal suggestions nomad
