Mame using big screen?
« on: March 21, 2005, 07:14:06 pm »
Are there any examples of people building MAME machines using big screen TVs?  I've searched the examples and forum (as well as google) but wasnt able to find any-- Im sure there are some out there.

Links would be much appreciated! (and/or advice!)

I think a showcase cab ould be best suited for a large screen.

Here is a good example:

It's a bit blurry but here's my setup which is still in progress. Obviously it's not enclosed in a cab. :)

Thanks guys, especially TalkingOctopus.  That one looked really nice, but it wasnt a big screen.  Looking at that one, it seems like maybe a bigscreen would be *too* big?

Any suggestions?

I'm building arcade controls and using a projection setup for my MAME setup. 90X90 image isn't to bad.

Was playing with Mame on my widescreen this week and it looked really good using the TV-out on my geoforce.
Here's some shots of a Vpinball table which was VERY cool at this size...
