I've been slowly putting together my cocktail cabinet on a shoe string budget and I have a couple of last minute questions.
1. In mamewah, m.a.m.e. will not load moonpatrol, but when I am running mame 32, it loads it just fine. Is it somthing to do with me using command line mame?
2. In the mamwewah game list, is there a way to get rid of the crap like (U)[!] when you are searching through console games or do you just have to rename all your roms and snaps without them.
3. Since my dimensions are a little funky I can't use an overlay. Do you guys have any suggestions on what type of black paint to put on the top piece?
Also, I was thinking of taking some basically clip art of my favorite games up to kinkos and have them printed out on glossy paper for the artwork. A sort of collage of my fav's that I would glue to the painted top piece that would then be under the glass. Any advice on this? Any idea's on where to find some quality jpegs of some classic games.
Sorry for so many questions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post your MameWah questions on the Software forum.
High Gloss Black paint will work.. Just put about 3 or 4 coats.

If your control panel is flat then you can nicely (and cheaply) cover it with black rubber from home depot.
Look for it in the carpet department on a big roll, it is called "hallway runner". It has a different texture on each side. I have installed this stuff on probably a dozen cabinets over the years.
