Now that I am almost done with the 4 player that can play all the mame games, console emulators, etc, I was thinking about getting an older pc and just having it run 1 mame game. Then making a replica cab. Basically instead of having a pcb, I would just use mame to run the 1 game. How many of you have done this, any pictures? |
| M3talhead:
To be honest, it'd probably be cheaper to find a working PCB on eBay or one of the newsgroups depending on the rarity of the game. |

I have an old one layin around, and I dont want another multiple arcade machine, I would rather have a dedicated cab. |

Here's something you may find of interest regarding this. Arcade Machine on a Disk Website Their goal is to get as many games as possible into the single game bootable floppy format. That should require minimal ram, minimal CPU, and no hard drive. |

That's a great idea, but the first thing I would do is transfer it to a CD and boot it from a cd-rom drive. Diskettes have a limited number of read/writes before they go byebye, but optical discs can last indefinitely if they're taken care of. |
