This is a question I am trying to figure out... I might be able to get a hold of some empty cabs in the nearby future... I was thinking of making some dedicated cabs when i get em... Now I have only built one mame cab (my first) and I have all the games, running off a frontend...blah,blah, blah.... Is there a way to run a mame game without a frontend? Like can I get a old junk computer and have it run mame with 1-3 games and have it where I can just turn it on...the games pops up and i can switch it off and thats it? My main concern is that i want to get into the restoration side of cabs... I got the fever! |

Certainly. If you load DOS on the computer, just set up a command in the autoexec.bat file to call "mame.exe <rom>". DONE! :afro: |

If you MAME it, that's not a restoration. |

I feel the same way. If it at least appears to be the real thing until you can manage to get the real boards, I see nothing wrong with that. |
