where do I start???????
« on: March 06, 2010, 09:29:14 pm »
Hello All thanks for reading! My question is I'm really interested in building my own arcade machine-to a certain extent. I would like to buy a used Golden tee, or something like that, and install my own games. I would like to add controls etc.... Where the heck would I find this information on how to do this. I would like to find information on how to hook up my PC to my golden tee machine. Guys I'm lost, I 'm really into this but not to technically inclined. Could you guys leed me to some websites on PC hook-up and control add-ons. Thanks in advance, John

I found DeLuSioNal29 videos in this thread really useful when i was worrying about hooking up my controls. How many of the cabinets original parts you will keep and how much of it you will replace will change how you hook up the pc so its hard to give specific advice. Like javeryh said the wiki is a really good resource. Read that and come back with anything more specific you need help with.
