Hi all, I'm a noob :)
« on: September 08, 2010, 02:32:54 am »
Just want to say hi to everyone and like most people I am looking to build myself a mame cabinet. I already have a P4 3gig chip and 2gb ram connected to a sony tv. Next thing is to get the os configured and then install mame.

Are there any dos and don'ts for a mame noobie at all

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Hi, noob. 

Avoid this subforum and the politics and religion one until you get your cab finished.

Don't ask/read any questions comparing TVs, arcade monitors, and LCDs.

Also, finish it ALL before making it work -- my 4 year old cab is still not completely painted. :)
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

Ed's just an underachiever.   Don't listen to him.

I think I will be in the same boat as you guys but hopefully can find some time to get the pc configured before attempting a Cab.
What seems to be common or fav cab to build?

Cheers

He speaks truth.  Except that unless you are a masochist or a nutbag zealot you should NEVER request access to Politics-n-Religion.

Hence why your game room thread isn't finished.   :lol
