ok we all know that some of us dont exactly have alot of space in our homes for a full upright machine and cocktail cabs just dont do justice for running all the games so i thought of this idea and while its not a portable its more moveable than a full upright cab. Ok to the project..

you first build or buy a 4 player showcase pedistal or 2 player showcase pedistal.  Next build your mame machine as you see fit but instead of a monitor you can use a lcd or dlp projector. a 800x600 resolution will do just fine. as long as it has a vga input you will be fine.. You might not even have to use an arcade vga card as this is a standard monitor in the eyes of the computer. now point your projector at your wall and now you have a big game on the wall.. im gonna do this with my golden tee 2005 since i have a projector coming this week and i will tell you how it goes...i think it will look great. so what do you think?

Q*Bert_OP:

Great idea!!!

pointdablame:

someone is doing this exact thing in the Project announcements board.. .and I think its been done a few times previously.

I also think Gozur has a master plan for something similar when he gets into his new house.

expensive

If space is an issue, then chances are you won't have such a large blank wall available.
