New Arcade Console!

[ChanceKJ]

From the ticket dispenser. Duh!

"The"? Just one?... Pfffft, rookie.

[Nephasth]

Only have room for one, but it will be right next to my D&B card reader!!!!11!1

[dmckean]

There's way too many mahjong roms in MAME to leave these off.

A Fistful of Tickets...

Don't be a ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?---, build an extra box on the side. just screw it on and use a hole saw to make a hole for the wires like you did on your Two-Headed beast. Make sure the box is big enough so people can see it there and its not a hazard they'll run into, and also so it can hold the EXTRA LARGE rolls of tickets. Maybe for modern day authenticity add another box on the other side for a bill collector. You know, so its nice and symmetrical.

Thats a GREAT idea!   Wait, aren't there multi player mahjong games?  people aren't going to want to take turns, they should each have their own set of buttons for that.

...and they should light up with RGB LED's

Who needs Tickets? It will dispense other Arcade Machines once you scored enough points.

[BadMouth]

Don't forget the Thayer's Quest keyboard...


You really should be maintaining a features list in the first post. 
It will help other people to make sure they don't leave anything out when designing their own supermegaulticade.

Has the Xbox One been emulated yet? I want to add it to my cab.

That's crazy. Think realistically.

it could dispense PCBs or ROM chips

[ChanceKJ]

Yes, it COULD. However the ticket counter doesn't accept those things. Even for the little novelty troll pencil toppers or knock off lead soaked koosh balls from China.

Pinball launcher is conspicuously missing...

Woh woh woh,  He's building an ARCADE cabinet, not a ---goshdarn--- abomination.

Pinball, not even once... Highly addictive.

[ChanceKJ]

mmm, yes.

Id rather have a meth addiction, that way its also cheaper.

[Nephasth]

mmm, yes.

I take it you've never tried meth... I haven't had to steal anything to support my pin addiction, just sayin'...

[ChanceKJ]

Mmm, no, but thats right, the meth thing is a bit of a hot button for some of the more impoverished states, or areas of the U.S. 

Seriously, my bad.

Good call. Don't put that in the mandatory keyboard drawer though. It must be fully integrated and on display.

[BadMouth]

I just realized that you don't have a RACE LEADER sign that lights up when you're in the lead on racing games.
The cab is incomplete without this.

Also don't forget the status lights for Spy Hunter.

[Nephasth]

Or rank lights for Gorf!!!

[Malenko]

I dont see where the dance pads plug in either.

[yotsuya]

I dont see where the dance pads plug in either.

Those are cleverly hidden. What do you think we're trying to do, make a Frankenpanel?

[Nephasth]

I have some work to do with the JAMMA connector...

[ChanceKJ]

I'm thinking you're gonna need a couple JAMMA connections. Maybe an option to not only use a JAMMA to PC, but also I'd set it up with a 6-1 a JAMMA Switcher, that way you can run games from Mame, but then switch over to the actual original hardware for those times you want the authentic experience.

[Nephasth]

Over your head...

[yotsuya]

I can hook all this up to the Raspberry Pi A board I have, right? I'm trying to keep down costs.

Looking over at project announcements one might think that people are actually taking this thread seriously.....

Why wouldn't they? Nephasth is a respected member of the BYOAC community and knows his stuff.

The guy has a wiring fetish.
OMG....we haven't even talked about the wiring for this cab?

I think you should go for an old school cloth wire look.

EDIT: What am I saying.  This isn't about looks, it's about performance.  Go for 12 AWG= Less lag.

[Token]

But how are you going to play Sea Wolf II without periscopes for two players?! You need to be able to play ALL the games or it isn't a real MAME cabinet.   

[vwalbridge]

I thought Neph was back for a second...

[yotsuya]

I know where Neph is. Here ain't it.

[Malenko]

Hes hanging out with us cool kids.

[yotsuya]

True dat.

[ChanceKJ]

I have him on Instagram, haha, definitely looks like it's a fun party.
