That guys setup looked very good. I believe there was alot of custom work done there. The backglass pretty much has to be custom.

How is that any different than a MAME cab?  Seems to me a VP cab would be a whole lot easier - you don't have to worry about controls or monitor orientation, you have a far smaller amount of software to deal with, there is no 15khz debate, etc.

Because there are software limitations in pinmame that MAME does not have.

Pinmame is a tiny emulator.  It doesn't even do anything useful without Visual Pinball.  I've never seen anything with Pinmame that makes me think it is a problem and we use Visual Pinball a lot in my house.

What issues are you talking about?

EDIT:  now that I think more on it, the fact that Pinmame expires every 6 months is a pain in the ass.

When I say pinmame, I mean Visual Pinmame - the combination of visual pinball and pinmame.

Okay then - what are the issues you're talking about?  We run it on two difference machines regularly and don't have much trouble beyond the Pinmame expirations.
