My Mame Arcade Cab Project

[pincky]

Hey There All!!!

MY OFFICAL ANOUCEMENT STATING MY PROJECT

(Its already been started though)

A quick little Background story
My boss from work got a Tekken 3 cab from a friend that diden't want it anymore.
Took it home for his kids to play with, eventually the kids pulled a wire and my boss diden't know how to fix it and gave it to me. After some research come to find out it was originally a Mortal Kombat cab that the board got swapped out to Tekken 3.

Took it home and striped it and in the process of turning it to a MAME CAB!!

Quick thanks to urbecrisch for pointing me to http://www.arcadecup.com to get my monitor board re-caped (because i don't have the talent for that!)

Ive posted a BUNCH of pictures http://pincky.gotdns.com/Pictures/My%20Arcade%20Pictures/ of my progress.

Is there any way you could post the pics on something like googles, picasa?

[pincky]

may i ask why?

I am currently hosting on my other computer (server)

It's a pain navigating back and forth between pics especially when you don't have a preview pic.
