I'm an idiot. Can I still build it?

Tiger-Heli:
What everyone else said, but your biggest problem right now, is that MAME will not do anything without the ROM files, which are (for the most part) copyrighted and not readily available.

Unfortunately, it's a no-no to ask for ROMs on this forum (to keep it out of trouble), but to start with, download the free and legal roms from: http://www.mame.net/downmisc.html

I seriously don't recommend iRoms (past actions of the provider) or Ebay people profiting for ignorance and quasi-illegal status of the item.

There are other sources, probably the best being newsgroups, rom burners, or www.starroms.com (which sells legally authorized versions of Atari roms).

MODS:  I think this post was okay as far as what can be said on the board, but let me know if I need to revise it.

Thanks to all! 

Admittedly, it was the end of a long week.  I wasn't in the best of moods as I tried to figure all that out. 

I just downloaded MAME32, and it seems to be working.  :) 

I also went out and bought Saint's book. 

Thanks again.  Was a great feeling to see so many good answers to the post I put up last night.

If you start building your project, PLEASE take lot's of pictures of the process, a lot of people will learn from an expert at woodworking and electrics. And more people here know about computers than carpenting ;)

www.iroms.com  is not a "real" site.
