Title: MK2 Mame
Post by: 8Bit Villain on February 17, 2012, 01:49:42 pm
Hello everyone im new here, been lurking for a long time. Last weekend my wife surprised me with a dedicated MK2 Cab. I'd say its a 7.5/10. Missing the MK2 marquee, and it has UMK3 installed. I'll be getting the original marquee, and I want to convert to Mame without destroying anything in the cabinet.

Things I already have for Mame:
Computer, Ipac, speakers, buttons, joysticks, and the switches, and I think thats it.  

So I will need an arcade VGA card, and Roms (not asking for any).

I dont have any pics here on my work computer, but you can check out my youtube channel if you would like to see it.

I came home from the hardware store and it was in my living room! I was gone for maybe 15 mins. So she must have had a truck waiting around the corner or something. 

I cant wait to get the pics up.

I have a wells gardner K7000. Regarding the Arcade VGA card, I also need to buy the breakout cable?

Yeah just buy the breakout cable. You could make your own, but after the hassle and time, just buy the cable.
