Top 10 Mame mistakes that keep getting copied from one machine to another.

Ok, if you really need to check out Gauntlet you can review the manual and wiring schematics to verify the orientation of the side sticks. You have to go through way too many pages for me to try to post it here, but the info is in there.

So far the only games with angled sticks on side players that have ever been found are Mercs, and a 1970s era snake game that I can't remember the name of. Both of which are almost unplayable from the side positions.

MAME TIME:
Perfect thread for stirring up the pot, but hey I'm all in favour of people building whatever they want, even if it has a billion buttons and lights and want not. But this is what its all about isn't it, i think people need to check their ego at the login screen. I myself built and finished 2 Mame cabs to the best of my abilities and guess what just because someone has 2000+ posts doesn't mean they did any of the physical handy work or finished anything for that matter. I myself couldn't build a cab from scratch if my life depended on it, i had to using a existing one, but you know what, if someone takes the time to cut and build from nothing into something i admire them cause i know i couldn't, even if the cab looks poo. So if someone wants to start a thread with certain "guildlines" take it for whatever its worth,

Hee, hee. I have done a few machines (4 scratchbuilt, 20+ conversions and have owned/repaired 50+ original machines).  ;D

Under NO circumstances are you to make create a "cabinet" as pictured below and attempt to sell it on ebay with a starting bid of $1,500 claiming others sell for over $3,000...

As I worship the intimate misconception you have of light hearted humor at the expense of those who surround you.   :notworthy:  :notworthy:

Uh Paige... nice to have you back and all, but give credit where credit is due... I posted some time last year that Pit Fighter had angled sticks. (And no coincidence, it's a HORRIBLE game from Atari's "all our smart staff has left the building!" era.  ;D  )



Actually, on closer look, that's probably a conversion kit... so the guy installing it just didn't know what he was doing.
