The silly thing is that mame has done more to save and preserve machines by a thousand-fold than machines that are actually harmed. It is also relatively easy to mame a classic machine without harming it, either. The other silly thing is I have no idea what this has to do with the thread topic. I think it is absolutely fantastic how much vision Bayne has for being relatively new to the hobby. Buying a rare cabinet and hacking it up wasn't on his radar, but coming up with a focused and unique cabinet was. The ironic part is that this guy is absolutely KLOV material, in the fact that he sees the value of a machine dedicated to one game, rather than trying to cram every game possible into one machine. |

Maming an arcade game for one game is also crazy. Buy the original hardware. --- End quote --- Sure thing. Can you get me a working Star Wars boardset, power supply, AR-II Board and clean working color vector monitor for my Star Wars that's running MAME? My local Target store is all out. |
