What ever happened to this?!?! Did the interest die out?

I hope not! I am almost all set here. I have my new key encoder on its way as we speak. That should be the last piece that I need outside of the wood, lexan & hardware. My 24" TV will be picked up tommorow as well. Today I picked up a router from Lowes, it came with 25 bits, and totaled out to $75 with the tax. It would be ashame if it was only used on my cabinet.

Funny you mention this. I have been taking care of business and other projects, but now getting ready to start in on my own cabinet. So- let's do a get together- preferably somewhere central where there's a couple machines for us to check out and play with. Any volunteers? I would, but, I have never built a machine yet! LOL... I'm in- who else?
Thanks!

Just say when and where... Hopefully I can make it...

Hey guys-
Just curious if anyone here in AZ has a slot cutter bit I can rent, borrow, or buy?
Thanks

I'm in too, just let me know where and when and I'll see what I can do. Since I need to come up from Tucson, if any other Tucsonians need a lift just let me know and we can arrange something (assuming of course that I can make it on the day we have scheduled)

bump and also a cry for help!!!

First off- are we EVER going to all get together? I think it's a great idea. I'll have to go back through the post, but I'm pretty sure we've had a few guys volunteer to host- and shoot, I'll pitch in for pizza or something as well!

ok- now here's where I beg... I am soo lost on installing MAME Analog+ it's not even funny. I got the cab built, will be hooking up all my controls and drilling CP holes tomorrow- wiring, etc. For the most part, I'm about ready. Silly me, I had this idea in my head that I just download MAME Analog+, hit the install button, and it runs like an XP OS Install or something. LOL. Apparently, it's not like that at all. I'm not completely computer illiterate, but, this stuff just isn't clicking. I also haven't found crap for documentation. I need like a MAME Analog+ Install for Dummies book or something. LOL. Can any of you local guys help me out? Even if it's a quick phone call to set me straight, or, I'll buy us lunch if someone has the guts to come help me out themselves.

If there's any kind souls out there who can help me, I'd certainly appreciate it!

ok- cry from help from fellow MAMER is over...
Thanks!

In the spirit of the never-scheduled get together, all of their skeletons are propped up in front of MAME'd Time Killers machine.

Welcome back!

I am sure you guys at this point have worked on your projects, post some pics & specs!

At this point I need to mount up holsters for the light guns, and create a couple of more control panels. I am set up so that the panels are removable by just lifting them up. It was the only way to not have a Frankenstein control panel board. The next control panel will be one for a trackball, followed by another one for a spinner and flight yoke, and one more for a steering wheel and shifter. Seems I will need to order up some more key encoders to be able to get it done and I'll probably go with a couple GP-Wiz40-Eco USB Controls Interface boards to make it easy and cost effective. Also I want to upgrade the computer some, that AMD 2000 is running it fine, but not sure if it will hang with some of the higher end games. Some of them like Teken is running slow, maybe I just need a ram increase.

Damn, I hate reading through half a thread like this and find out it's years old. Anyways, I wasn't on the board back then. And, there have been two SoAZ arcade gatherings in the last three years.

I know, but I was looking to reach out to the group. It would have been just as crazy had I sent out a PM to everyone in the thread and no one would have known but me. For a while there it looked like we were all going to get together. None the less it was good to hear back from a few people at least.

Nice I am glad that I spoke up. Maybe we can help out a few of the guys who are earlier in their builds.

The Greater Phoenix Metro area seems to be what would be central. I am in Scottsdale and not to sure where everyone else is.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #56 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:00:00 am »

I'm in Gilbert. Work in PHX.

I'm in Anthem (North Phoenix)

Ummon · « **Reply #59 on:** October 28, 2009, 03:32:46 pm »

Most here are in Phoenix. Those back then who weren't apparently haven't been active in years. Goz and Boz have been out for spell, too. Haven't seen Zero_Hour in a while, either.
