Title: PACMAME Coctail Cabinet
Post by: lukeomichael on March 16, 2006, 11:59:05 pm

I am pretty proud of my coctail cabinet  ;D:

Pictures can be found at: http://spaces.msn.com/goconnor/ (http://spaces.msn.com/goconnor/)

Built from scratch using an AMD 1.2GHz PC over dual boot Windows ME (see http://www.dewassoc.com/support/winme/real_dos.htm (http://www.dewassoc.com/support/winme/real_dos.htm))

It runs AdvanceMame for DOS (see http://advancemame.sourceforge.net (http://advancemame.sourceforge.net))

Controls via iPac (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html)) and supplied by Ozstick (http://www.ozstick.com.au (http://www.ozstick.com.au))
Plans based on a variant of Kyle's Pacman Plans (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/arcade_cabinet_plans.shtml#Kyle_PacMan) (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/arcade_cabinet_plans.shtml#Kyle_PacMan))

And if you are after a Jukebox to go, I would recommend WinCAB/DOSCab, except for it being fairly buggy.
SK Jukebox rocks - but is Windows only!

Neat variation of the midway style cocktail.  Very colorful.  Good job!

Nice looking machine.  One comment for you.  If you find your having trouble with mysterious crashes, or other strange things happening, get rid of Windows ME.  Most guys would rather run 98SE over ME.
