My bartop mamecab

[danivempire]

Hey all ^^

I wanted to share my freshly finished mamecab ^^

Still have to work on some sidearts



19" inch screen
AMD Sempron 140 with 2gigs of ram
Os it Tiny Seven
runs mame, playstation, Snes and Genesis and the front end is MALA FE

The joysticks are ultrasticks 360 and I must say they're awesome!!!

here's a little vid I did

Very clean and neat build there! Gratz! Does the marquee light up? I couldn't tell from the video. I'm not a fan of the chrome t-molding but it's all personal taste i suppose. I'm not sure I'd bother with any side art. There's not too much room there really and you may be in danger of just cluttering the neat lines you've created. Lovely job overall!

for the moment the marquee has no light, I would like to put one but the speakers are just behind the marquee... If I find small enough le I'll try ^^

A strip or two of self adhesive LEDs plugged into the 12V supply of the PC would do it. You don't need to get a full strip bulb in there. Is the marquee printed on proper material to allow the light to pass? It would look even better then.

well... for the moment it's just printed on simple paper by myself, later I'm gonne make it better, but printing just one stuff by a store cost a lot

Wow, this "weecade" is really a popular design. Love the marquee!

[danivempire]

yeah, and with your invisible braquet it works perfet ^^

remember me? I'm the one who bought your two last pieces 2 weeks ago

I love this, it's beautiful. 

I'm starting my first cab myself and space is an issue so I'll be building a bartop like this one.
I've got the pc sorted and all the software set up so next up is woodwork before I move on to controls.

I really like the shape of yours which is why I'm wondering, would it be to forward to ask if you could share some more pictures and even plans/drawings of the basic shape?

[danivempire]

no problems,
I will send you pictures and the drawings I did in your email later today ^^

That is a very clean looking bartop.
I like the marquee with the small logos to the sides, they look very official.
Great job 

[ulfur]

no problems,
I will send you pictures and the drawings I did in your email later today ^^

Fantastic, thank you so much!   

[danivempire]

I just sent you pictures of the guts of the cab, will give you measures tomorrow ^^

I would love plans for this if possible.  I am finally going to build one of these myslef, and this is the design style that I keep fallin in love with again and again.

[danivempire]

Well I'm gonna put them here

if you can call that plans, it's just drawings I made ^^

[dextercf]

Thank you, I guess!

Isn't it a bit cramped for 2 players?
It is kinda the setup I'm looking for, but I don't want players having to rub shoulders too much.

Also, I'm gonna use one of these babies in my build:

Info on the machine here

[danivempire]

well yes, it's not the best size for two players but it works.
