  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Ginsu,
       I already got that book.  Its a good book with lots of info.  Well, i want some more books as a collection.  While i am on the software side , i can order some materials like books over.  Just like my neighbor, she has her own collection of novel books.

This forum is the best book you could ever had. Seriously, between Saint's book and this forum, you don't need to buy anything else (especially that GARBAGE off eBay).

I completely agree...  The stuff/guides from ebay is actually stuff that was probably taken from here.  Everyone on this forum is extremely helpful.  Just learn to use search and read read read....

Have you seen these free plans?

http://www.ccarcades.com/uploads/CCA-Free-1PC_8-14-08.pdf



I just downloaded that pdf guide u sent me.  That is what i want to get.....woodworking part and measurement.  Those plans will come handy later on.  I try to collect some info on hardware while i am studying the software part.  So maybe if i want to get into learning the measurements, at least a few cabinet plans are already for me to read.  Hope members don't mind.

You are right.  That book is the most detailed guide i can get.  Is that author planning to do an update to that book?  Or is is  unnecessary?

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
