i personally dont think so. but then its up to the individual. some people have internet and everything on their cab and the full however many thousand games. others just have the one game to recreate a particular machine. im in between but closer to the one game philosphy. i have maybe 160 games but thats all. no internet, no word or excel. just any arcade game that suits a cocktail...yeah, so to me my machine isnt an exact copy of a particular machine, rather it is an exacting machine that still recreates the feel of a dedicated machine.

Either way, I say Yea. The cab I have in progress now will be a Dreamcast Cabinet, and I'm pulling things together to add some of the classic NES and SNES games to my MAME system.
You aren't running Excel on your cab? Then what's the point of building one? I put Excel in mine and I have all of my friends over for some mad spreadsheet action! I highly recommend "Alan Greenspan's Extreme Checkbook Balancer: Underground" if you want to throw down some sick Debits and Credits, yo.
Well, without excel, how else would you play Excel's flightsim on your arcade cabinet? EasterEgg in Excel 97: Press F5, then type x:97 L:97 then press enter, followed by tab. hold down ctrl and shift, then click the graphs button on the toolbar (you might have to enable this beforehand). press Escape a few times to exit.taken from http://www.cheatplanet.com/pccheats/microsoft_excel_97.htm, don't blame me if its slightly wrong. I tested it ages ago and it worked for me! (not a an arcade cabinet mind you)first person to config their IPAC to make it possible to enter the easter egg wins my respect! and thats about all.Alternatively, anyone up for writing a frontend that supports this? Minwah?
