A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
2 usb ports? :D
I've got 3 on the mobo backplan, probably another 4-6 as jumpers off the mobo directly (one of which I'm pulling 5v from for other purposes), AND I ended up having to add a USB card with 4 more ports because the mobo ports stay powered up even when the mobo is turned off (and I didn't want all my usb peripherals to stay powered all the time).
USB ports are the new harddrive space, the more you have, the more you use, seems like.
Ryglore:
Ya what I need is a USB Hub, I can store inside the CP box and just run the cable for my keyboard and just stash the external HDD inside the CP box when I'm using it.
Benevolance:
My advice is to buy a bigger hub than you think you need. I bought a 5 port and it was filled within the week; I should have followed my gut and sprung for the 7-port hub off the bat. :D
I haven't tried emulating playstation on my MAME cabinet, since I've got a PS2 hooked up. I've got similar pads - they work pretty well. Sometimes the sensors seem to migrate a bit in the softshell and it can get touchy about registering a step or not. Unless you are really competitive (and we're not) it isn't a super huge deal.

I keep getting sidetracked on little projects like this that, well, frankly don't have a whole heck of a lot to do with arcades in particular but are quite fun anyway.
I just saw turnerarcade's use of a locomo Neon equalizer style lightbar... now, I gotta figure a way to fit one of those in (in a classy, neo victorian way, of course!).
What happened to your project. I went to check it out and see it kinda faded off.

Yea, mine has kind of been side tracked as well. Have done more work on it but just haven't been able to upload any pics yet.
Work has really picked up for me this past 12 months and I don't have time to do much other than work.
My half built arcade cab stares at me each day from the corner of my office, BEGGING to be finished - and one day I will!
Following this thread with a great deal of interest. Keep up the good work!
drventure:
Well, the bad news is, the company I've been working for succumbed to the ongoing economic situation. It was sold off. Which I suppose was "good" except that the buyer is so ridiculously dev heavy, only one developer was offered a position. <sigh>
I've got a paycheck till Jan, but then, ugh.
I suppose the good news is that gives me A LOT MORE time to work on my cab and on this Mala add in I'm kicking about :)
