My Temporarly Mame Atari Jaguar Cab

Although I will always love Atari's arcade games and appreciate their historic importance in video gaming, when it comes to home consoles I'm of the opinion that Atari's were kind of trashy. Yeah, it's kind of blasphemy to say such a thing, but really the only Atari game I can ever remember liking was Pitfall, and even that was pretty archaic compared to the NES's offerings. I didn't own one, but from what I've played I'm still not sure if I couldn't get into it simply because I was spoiled by the NES (I'm a child of the latter 80's), or if it's because home game consoles really weren't all that good until Nintendo came around. But hey, who am I to judge? :dunno
Anyway, kudos for your inventiveness in making a MAME cab out of a console kiosk display. I never really thought about what one might be able to do with one of those, but Mameing one certainly wouldn't have been something I'd think to do. Pretty cool idea. :applaud:

Your favourite Atari game, is not an Atari game ... Pitfall was created by Activision. ;)
It was released on the Atari 2600 though.

I used a hacked version of Project Tempest to get it working with Mamewah and it runs sweet launched in Windows, but for some reason I'm struggling with launching in Mamewah. Got the ini file set up correct and everything, but it just launches to a black screen.
Hope one day I can be bothered to get it sorted. Tempest 2000 is brilliant, and the soundtrack is excellent!
