Decisions Decisions - Driver MAME vs Paperboy Restore
FrizzleFried:
Opinions?
CheffoJeffo:
Who are you kidding ? You're going to do them both anyway (after you beat your $$$ out of that TV guy)!
Flake:
Is Paperboy not considered a "classic"? I was just wondering if people here would be opposed to it's maming. The reason I ask is that I have a gutted Defender cabinet that I was considering restoring but I have to buy everything new so I"m not sure how that is really a "restore". Plus a restoration would be pretty expensive.
Anyway, to answer your question I think a driving mame would be an excellent project and would be interested to follow your progress on it as I also have an interest in doing this at some point.

Frizz, you going all out on the Pole Position if you go that way, racing stripes & sponser stickers, ect? That to me, IMO, is just a sweet project. Besides, they might one day get the rest of the MAME driving games emulated fully and you could always enjoy those later...
Ginsu Victim:
As for the Defender question, if all you have is the cabinet and nothing more, I don't see a problem making it a MAME machine. My Track and Field had none of its original parts, so I MAMEd it without much concern.
