WOW! There is so much information out there about building MAME systems! Where does one start?
I hope to one day built both an upright as well as a cocktail system with classic early games.
Is there a reliable listing of step-by-step how its done? So many places to download ROMs. So many Frontends to choose.
What are your favorite FE's and where is a good place to get up-to-date good working ROM's?

I'm currently using Hyperspin and love it. My next (and probably most all) future projects I will be giving MALA a go.

Umm...okay. Guess I missed the "No-No" sticky?
My apologies. I know it has to do w/copyright issues but, I asked because
"everybody" is doing it. Should I butt out?
I swear I am a newbie here. Because I am an older fart, I am not well versed
in computer-speak.
Again, sorry.

I am partial to Mala for the frontend.

Here is a blog I kept on my last (completed) arcade cab build:

Maybe it will get you started anyway.
