Hey everyone,
                My name is Jax and I am new here.  I want to build my own arcade machine since last year.  I decide that i want to learn from here.  Please help me as i am genuine to learn and want to build an arcade machine.  I have a lot of questions but i shall ask few at a time. 
    1) How do you make Mame Emulator display only the games that are available to play in the arcade machine?  Just like the commercial machines only display the games available to play, how do you make mame display only the games available to play?  do you use Mame or other versions of mame?  I hope i ask correctly.

   2)  and can you post some of the latest guides on how to build an arcade machine.  I have the book "Project Arcade: Build Your Own Arcade Machine" but the book is old.  I want some later guides, if you dont mind.

Read that first, then ask any questions you might still have.

Starting out, there's too much for us to cover in this one thread.

I also recommend this book

I am highly likely going to build my arcade machine.  Sorry, i came to this forum late and i am late to this topic of building arcade machine.

I want to make sure the mame emulator displays the games available to play...like 3 games and not 6500 games.  If i can get the answer, then i will get to the next step.  Thanks.

Jax.

I know there is heaps to catch up on.  please understand what i am trying to express.  i want my cabinet to look exactly like a commercial Arcade machine.  it is possible to make it with mame?  I dont want to build the hardware and realise the final outcome is not like a commercial arcade machine.

sorry i know there is too much to cover in a thread.  To me, I really need to know if Mame can make the arcade machine show only the games available to play.  You know,  i want to build an arcade machine that looks exactly like a commercial  machine that i used to play when i was small.  I remember i played Burning Fight back in the 90s.  Can Mame or Mameui make my cabinet look exactly like a commercial Burning Fight?  Sorry i dont know how to ask it accurately.  Main thing to me is the software.  I am not worried about the hardware.
