Mame cab built on systm 1, 2, 3 and 4 of 5 (webisode)

Got at least one registration out of it...ME!
I'm into 80's stuff, always have been always will be. I have an Atari 2600, an ATC350X (3 wheeled ATV), and my Freestyle Bike from 20 years ago. If I had more room (4 bedroom house and 3 kids), time (see drawback 1), and money (see drawback 2) to dedicate to this stuff I'd have a garage/house full.
Anyway, as a n00b to cabinets, I thought their episodes lacked some information as well. I guess that's the reason Google exists. They did have some good notes that provided some good starting points. After lurking here for a week or so, I do believe they could have done a better job with their resources. I agree Knievel's cabinets & touchscreen jukebox are nothing short of true craftsmanship.
My conversion of my Taito cabinet will be nowhere near the quality of his. I do love how the bar is set so high. Gives me something to strive for after I get this all figured out on the first build on a not so terrific condition cab.
Thanks for being here!!

Makes for interesting viewing in that they have bothered to film it, but I can't help but wonder who the program is aimed at - novices or pro's?
The way they patronisingly talk about the PC setup makes me think 'aimed at novices', yet the way they blast through the finishing and wiring without so much as a snippet of detailed footage makes me think it was intended for guys like us.
So which is it?
Hopefully not us pro's, as there are so many things that we know could have been done cleaner or easier, and don't even get me started on the design!

Its almost like the video was filmed 10 years ago or something.. They were talking about keyboard hacking and stuff.. WHO does that anymore? you can get a keywiz for what.. $20? Plus, with sites like Jakobud's full of cabinet plans WHY for the love of God did they make that ugly ass bohemeth? Maybe it was to accomodate the 12" border around the 33" TV...
The video wasn't aimmed at pros because those guys are clearly novices. IMO BYOAC is THE place to get information about this hobby and they didnt even mention it did they? If you dont know about BYOAC you dont know s :censored:... who knows.. maybe they're lurkers... :dunno
