ok let's all tell a story on how we found BYOAC.
<< < (5/25) > >>
pointdablame:
After finding MAME "again" after not using it for a few years, I did some google searches and wound up here.  I wound up reading examples for days and days and finally noticed the forum.  I lurked for a month or two, signed up, and now it is my daily means of procrastination :)
Elfman:
I was at the Costco Home store in Kirkland, WA (only one I think) and they had an Ultracrap machine there.
MrTroy:
Being a hobbiest game programmer I was on the forum at http://www.allegro.cc and someone posted Jubei and I thought it'd be amazingly awsome if when I went back to school I showcased one of my projects in. So I clicked a link and ended up here... 3 years later I started actually using the forum.
Q*Bert_OP:
I already had some knowlage about mame, I bought the project arcade book, and found the website link in there.
DaveMMR:
I was looking into buying an arcade cabinet (either Simpsons Bowling or Marble Madness).  Though some deft Googling, I stumbled upon this site.  I spent the rest of the evening reading the contents of BYOAC and since that day two years ago, I've been keeping up with the progress in cab building (even though I have yet to show my very unfinished masterpiece).  The BYOAC boards remain the only message boards that keep my consistently coming back when I grew bored of others in a month or so.  I credit all the bacon, Floyd10, and political posts.
