Project PacMame with Pics. 56k beware

Not surprised at all, this topic has been brought up plenty of times before...but my point was, if you're already maming the cabinet and throwing pirated roms onto it anyways, then acquiring stenciled artwork isn't much of a stretch is it?
Besides, you don't have to worry about legal issues, the sellers do.
Regardless, in the end I'm sure the cabinet will look great.

no new pics at the moment, but a progress report:
With the help of some fantastic members in the software forum I finally got the PC up and running the way I want it. Got MAME v .116 running. Installed the following emulators:
Mame v.116 - Arcade games
MESS v.137 - Atari, TurboGrafix 16
NEStopia - NES games
Project 64 - Nintendo 64
KEGA Fusion - Sega Genesis, Master System, CD, Game Gear, 32X
BSNES - SNES games
GameBatte - Game Boy and Gameboy color
For front ends I am currently toying with MALA version 104 and I am about to download Atomic FE to play with that as well.
For the PC, i grabbed another 512MB of ram and its running nice and fast now.
For the cabinet, I got a new flourescent light fixture and got it installed. Also picked up a cheap pair of Cyber accoustic powered PC speakers for the cabinet. Still trying to work out the best way and place to install those. I also got a 6 outlet power strip and extended the wiring for the power switch so I can mount the switch wherever I want for turning the whole ball of wax on and off easily

So after playing with Atomic FE for a while last night, I decided I will be using that for my front end instead of Mala. I like Atomic much better and there are a lot of cool customizable options and things to play with.
Past that, I modified my cheap PC speakers yesterday. I decided I didn't want them behind the marquee. So I removed the speakers and i will use the little built in amp to run the original Pac Man 6x9. I also put a piece of plastic over where the speaker was in the control speaker housing (the one with the power and volume knob) and mounted my switch for my power strip then mounted the assembly inside the coin door. I'll take and post pics later tonight
