--- Quote ---Building a Real arcade game will cost a lot more than building a MAME cabinet in my opinion... --- End quote --- How do you figure? You can assume the same amount of money for everything that a Mame cabinet and a dedicated arcade machine have in common, but a common JAMMA board is about $20 and you are done. You won't get much of a PC for $20, and then forget about any Whatever-PACs and ArcadeVGA cards, it's keyboard hacks and AdvanceMame (or a PC monitor) if you want to have a prayer of keeping the cost down to a real arcade machine level. |

Now this might sound stupid but I seen this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8241616743&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Could you build a cab, and then put this and a tv into the cab and it be the same thing as creating a cab on your own? you could easily change the boards right? |

Or, you could just buy a generic JAMMA cabinet for like $100-$150. Ask PaigeOliver. Stuff like that falls from the sky in his neck of the woods. |
