As someone who wanted a cab that would play everything but quickly realized that arcade cabs are best at playing... arcade games, I suggest you really think it through. It's great to want to have an all-in-one machine, but you might find that you'd be better suited having one well-planned machine that does your favorite games really well. Just some free advice. :cheers:

i had planned to have every emulator under the sun in my Neo Geo rebuild. I stopped at NES/SNES and I have yet to really play those much at all. It impresses the hell out of friends to have so many things crammed in there, but reality dictates that a MAME catalogue is already more games than I have time to thoroughly play.

everything but majong right
yotsuya:
Yeah, I'm planning to take the console emulators that I have and put them on a TV-based machine. I did the whole all-in-one thing, and it's just not much fun on a standup cabinet.
I wouldn't do pinball on a regular cab, either. If I ever do Virtual Pinball, it'll be on a full-blown 2-3 monitor setup. If you're going to do it, do it right. But that's me. YMMV.
TopJimmyCooks:
Ndiniz- how are you fixed for woodworking materials or tools? Are you considering converting from an existing game cabinet? Can you work your connection with the arcade operator you worked for to get a cab to retrofit? That will have a big impact on how your cab build planning goes.

whatever dude, majong is the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

I might get a kit, or find an arcade cab from my former workplace, or have a friend of mine help me with the plans for the cab, and the wiring. I got sidetracked today. I'll have the proposal and presentation on a zip file for you guys sometime before Tuesday evening.
