very small cabinet :)

BTW, anyone know if/how you can wire several game cartridges together with some kind of selector switch connected to a common pin? Like the old Atari console store kiosks, where you selected a game with pushbuttons I think... I hardly use my GBC anymore, so I'm thinking of just hacking a mini cab with that... Of course it won't be a real MAME cab, but it will have most of the classic games on it, some of which are pretty accurate ports (already have a big collection gathering dust!)
Oh Lord, why did I choose this hobby?! ;)

Saw this on ebay and thought immediately of this cabinet; evidently it's a factory piece that consists of a 7x5 inch lcd screen (the resolution of which just happens to correspond to most arcade games) connected to a mini computer running windows me.
Pretty cheap given that it's a combination lcd/computer.

I just received one of these Coleco Pac-Man games from ebay today. It's pretty beat up (worse than this picture since it's not the same one), but I think I can restore it to good condition, and mount my Game Boy Color inside with a white LED to light it. Need to print some new art for the marquee. If there's any way to hook up multiple cartridges so they can be switched, I'll just jam as many of my classic games in as possible! Otherwise, I'll cut a slot to switch games in the back. I looked inside, and there's a lot of dead space, and I may be able to make the screen area more upright. The sticks are 4-way, and should be easy to convert to 8-way. Add a couple small buttons, and it'll be perfect for breaks at work!
