Other Build Your Own Arcade Sites?
« on: October 19, 2009, 11:22:59 pm »
Hey guys, are there any other build your own arcade sites out there, or is this really the only/best one that people frequent?

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

You're at the best. There's no reason for others to exist.

This is a nice European one:
http://forum.dragonslairfans.com
It's from a Dragon's Lair fan that has 40 classics or so in his shed, so they discuss all kind of cabs and restoring too.
And for all small scale Retro DIY projects:

I think the OP is intending to look for other resources as definitive as this for arcade cabinet building, rather than the hobby itself. In which case - Ginsu's comment stands.

The forums at shoryuken.com have hundreds of custom arcade sticks and a few excellent examples of scratch built cabs.  It is the # 1 source of information if you are looking to build a cab dedicated to fighting games.

forums.shoryuken.com tech talk section

neo-geo.com and shmups.com also have some nice threads relating to BYOAC.

Yesh! Great thread and awesome documentation. I read this one a few months ago, it's so inspiring. I love how he has plans to keep expanding it. :)
