I FINALLY found a cabinet to MAME near me. I managed to snag a Mortal Kombat II cabinet for $100 via eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290262927128 I'm planning on calling it The Dawgcade after my Georgia Bulldogs. First I've got to get this bad boy home. Hopefully I can pick it up this weekend. Some of the things planned include: New control panel 2 Ultimarc U360 joysticks 1 Happs trackball 1 spinner various pushbuttons 27" multisync monitor This might take a while as I'll be buying a little bit at a time. But I can't wait to get started after planning this for around eight years. :) |

Nice find on the MK cab. Good luck on your project! I'm a Tide fan but since we are both here at BYOAC, I am your friend in MAME! Sorry we rolled over your Dawgs so badly last week. I like Georgia and have many friends who went there. Please post pics of your project as is progresses... Eric. |

No problem. I had a feeling we were going to lose one with as many injuries as we've had.We lost our best offensive lineman and defensive lineman before the season even started. We're hurting as far as injuries go. I've got to design a marquee sometime. I'm not sure about sideart yet though. Depends on what the wife will let me get away with. :) |

May I suggest choosing a new name? DawgCade is actually really really awful. Seriously . . . say it out loud a couple times. It's not good. At one point a disturbing trend developed where everybody inexplicably decided to think of a word and add "Cade" to the end of it as the title for their arcade cabinets. I don't know if it was a lack of creativity, laziness or what. It doesn't really make much sense, but more importantly it rarely makes for a name that doesn't sound forced and awkward. In my opinion calling your cabinet The Bulldog or The Bulldogs Arcade is better than DawgCade. It will also make for a more sensible themed cabinet since you can borrow actual team logos, etc. Anyway, I appear to be in the minority on this who _____Cade business . . . but there you have it. |

I agree with Shmokes on the Dawgcade name being less than great. :) Here's an idea: "GAMEDAY" with the "G" being the UGA logo G? Eric. |
