Complete Newbie to MAME! Just introducing myself.
« on: December 15, 2008, 11:59:07 am »
Hello all,

Just thought I would introduce myself.  The name is Glen and like the screen name I live in Illinois.  Originally from Chicago but now live 60 miles west.  I had never heard of MAME before but I am a hobbiest woodworker and someone posted a project or theirs on woodnet.net a while back and it got me interested.

I have always loved Arcade Games when I was a kid and I thought I would attempt some type of cabinet after reading so much here.  (Leaning towards Cocktail Cabinet because of space issues) I figured I have the tools I just have to learn the electronics part.  I want to make a custom cab for my home office/White Sox room.  I made all of the cabinets from scratch in my garage so I shouldn't have any problem building the case. 

Here is the office with my home made wall of cabinets.  I want the cocktail table to fit under my game used bat collection.





Anyone out there from Illinois?

Thanks for the inspiration to try this.  I am still only in the planning/learning stage.

I hope to one day post my project on the forum.

Glen

Nice looking office.

You've come to the right place for information about building a MAME cab.  I found these forums invaluable when building my cab.
