Franken admin panel for MAME
<< < (13/17) > >>
jimmer:
Wow, who'd have thought a dedicated Q*Bert panel and O and K buttons would upset so many people.
jimmer:
In answer to Vigo's dissertation on the merits of multiple cabs, I'll just say that multiple cabs with swappable panels is even better.

The biggest advantage of swappable panels for me is that I can now get on and start building, if I was trying to get everything right on a fixed design I would never get started.
UFO:
Wow... this topic is going PH direction.

I think however that what has been covered here is that there are OPTIONS. Not one way or another, just options.

Since I started reading things on here, my whole build has changed due to the fact that some of the things I read about, I just didnt know were possible.

Thats what a forum is though I guess - a place to exchange ideas.

Good luck with the build - I am stepping away from this timebomb!

The irony is it's coming from a guy advocating wireless keyboards.  Because vintage 80's arcades had BlueTooth.   :P

The keyboard is hidden 99.9 percent of the time. Using a hidden keyboard is more authentic than a dozen admin buttons cluttering the play area.
Its also a cheaper cleaner design. My guest have no idea my cabinet is a mame machine until I reveal the hidden keyboard and exit the game.
Its then they realize its a windows machine running mame. My goal is to build an authentic replica cabinet that is enjoyable to many.
Admin buttons or not, youre still going to need a keyboard to set up and manage your PC. Might as well make it a hidden wireless one.

Chillax everyone, I'm just offering trying to share what I have learned over the years. Build whatever you want and share what you build.
I look forward to seeing whatever cabinet is built and reading everyone else's opinion on this or any other arcade built.

I'm going to poop too. PAUSE.
