For the most part, do people think these are real arcade machines?

All of mine were real arcade games at one time, and as far as I'm concerned, they still are.

I don't think that is really a problem. About as many people have heard of MAME as have building a cab, not a whole lot. Most people just think that MAME is some game that they have never heard of.

However, if you really want people to think that it is a real cab you could style it to a real game (complete with artwork and marquee). Then, until they notice the extra controls, they would just think that it is a standard single game cab.

most of my sisters friends who don't know me that well think it is the real deal. my friends of course knew since i told them i was building one. just been doing some renovating around the house and it got covered in plaster dust. thought it had a good 'just discovered in a warehouse' look about it...

Same here...people always say 'so you made this from an old arcade game'...and it's not even finished yet... :)

Santoro:

People usually think my cab is a real one.   I love the look of disbelief when I tell them I built it from scratch.
