Thinking of selling my Pac-Mamea cab, talk me out of it! (or make an offer?)

[allroy1975]

glad to see you came to your senses.
always keep it.  Your kids will love it.
I promise.

Well if you don't wanna use it standing up why not simply toss a few gamepads on it.. You can play a good portion of the games with a gamepad.. I wouldn't sell my cab unless I needed the money or if I was planning on building a new better one

Hey 1up,

glad you came out of this mood! Guess that just happens one time - with all the work invested in you cab, there are days when you just can't see it anymore. Luckily my cab stands on the first floor, so I don't run always around it when I get home!

A cab doesn't need to get played all the time

-building is half the fun
-and, like Peter said, playing isn't the most important. It just feels so good to have it in the background looking at the marquee, playing attractmodes and some ocassionally tunes... Yes, I'm a stupid romantic!  

For the frontend stuff - I've favoritelists on my FE. I even plan to make it possible to hide the complete lists as they are indeed irritating. Via a servicemenu I integrated I easily can create and add favorites, so on a party I'll show only the best games up, and still have the ability to quickly add the game someone wishes for.

By the way, you can't compare a PS2 with an arcade cab. This is like comparing apples and pears, as we would say here. You have build a piece of history - something you can show to the next generation!

Just rest your cab for a while, and you'll be happily as before!

Damn, I really gotta get back on my FE sometime.  It's been put off as my friend I am workign with 1) got a new job 2) is getting married 3) just bought a house.  He's bee pretty busy.  Actually, I've only seen him 2 in the last several months.

Also I was forced to move over to linux on my cabinet so there is no reason for me to have a windows FE right now.

I did this, I wish more FE devs would.  I have a list of categories with checkboxes to allow what to be displayed.  All favorite lists display regardless but act like categories with the except they are editable on the fly.  It;s a cool feature for any FE to have.

(Guess I didn't need to make the yoke removable after all...   )

If you've already done the work toward making the yoke removable, you might as well keep it that way.  You can put a 360 degree steering wheel in the same kind of mount as the yoke if you ever want to go that way...
