Hey, welcome.

Firstly, search a little.  Check out the wiki link at the top of page.

Also, is the BFG you're referring to the Big Friendly Giant from Roald Dahl or the Big smurfing Gun from pc games like Doom?

Just curious.  Good luck.

Cheers,
KenToad

Search is your friend.  I can see posting one or two frequently asked questions, but you just asked 7 questions which could all be easily answered by searching.

Somebody will probably argue what I'm about to say, but I feel you are trying to do too much with one cabinet.  I don't know of a way to switch between all those that won't require some manually connecting and disconnecting of connectors. 

I would suggest building a MAME/PC cabinet that can run console emulators as well.  THEN, I would build a separate cabinet for Xbox, PS2, Dreamcast, and Gamecube.  Even then, there is a lot of switching.  You mentioned in your first post that there was a switch to switch between the consoles.  Do you have a link to it?  I haven't seen anything that will switch A/V and Controls between 4 consoles.  I would definitely be interested in one.

Also Mama Wawa is an awesome front end.   :applaud:
