Last night I was watching this science-type related program called Daily Planet that comes on the discovery channel. http://www.exn.ca/dailyplanet/
They had a preview for tonight's episode where they showed a guy who built an arcade cabinet to play all of his favorite 80's games. They didn't specifically say mame - but it's gotta be.
Tonight's episode comes on at 7:00pm and 11:00pm EST on discovery channel. It may only be shown in Canada, I'm not sure. It's channel 42 for me.
This is just a heads up if anyone's interested. The preview looked good, so I'll probably tape it. So you know, the mame segment will only be 5-10mins of the whole show.
Enjoy.

The segment is over and it was quite long, about 10 mins.
The IPac got a nice TV closeup and mame got a good intro.
I think his cab sucks because it only has 30 "legally" owned roms. Meh - I bet he has em all when the cameras go away.
At the end they said for mame cabinet building info goto exn.ca, so I'm guessing there'll be something there soon.

I like the way the narrator refers the the original 'cd-roms' for PacMan etc. - hehe :D
