Thanks I just wanted to be sure all I have left is to make a bartop ::) any hints/tips for a noob? |
| Green Giant:
Start reading everything in the project announcement forum. There are tons of people that have made bartops with details on how they did it. |

oh Ive seen all of the projects I just think mine is going to look like doo doo, I never worked with wood ;D before |
| Green Giant:
No problem with that. Most of us never worked with wood before building a cab, or at least never doing detailed work like this. With the proper tools: router, circular saw, jigsaw, and drill, you can do it. Take several measurements and mark out all the cuts on your wood. MDF cuts like butter and is extremely easy to use. It has no grain, just very messy. If you have time and patience, there is no reason it won't look great. When you start the project, make a thread in the project announcement forum. As you work on it you can get immediate feedback to make your project great. |

I would look into the Arcade VGA made by ultimarc. The new version works with PC monitors. As for a video card not doing good with MAME...while technically true when it comes to utilizing video ram, it does free up CPU power which is inherently what MAME works with. But for me, it is also about using it for other applications as well. Not to mention other emulators that do utilize Open GL support. I still would get away from on board though because of bogging down the CPU. |
