« on: October 11, 2006, 07:56:48 am »
I am making my fisrt cocktail cabinet, the woodwork and the computer hardware i am fine with, but the software setup not so good. So i woundering if there was an informative site out there which might guide me in the right direction and maybe step by step.  Mainly on how to setup the harddrive (content, startup etc)

Depends what you want it to do...  Do tell

I would stongly recomend you use  a FE with great (on the fly) Rotation options (eg MaLa or Atomic)

I have found UncleT's "How to" for Mala very informative and helpful both for Mala and just for Mame in general (UncleT, if you are reading this, thank you very much).  :cheers:

That info from UncleT is really freakin helpful. I've got all my hardware and cabinet good to go, and I too was looking for a better way to set up software than to have to figure it out completely on my own. Thanx dislecksea (I god to swear I'm not lysdexic) and thanx UncleT!!!  :notworthy:
