Yes saint - thanks for such a great book!  I didn't know I needed a MAME cabinet until I read it. :)  Just finishing up my cabinet and followed your book to the tee pretty much.  It's well thought out and all the "gotchas" are covered before you actually have to experience them for yourself.  You should have seen the looks at the hardware store when I was purchasing all the materials in one trip... :D  Thanks again!

Yep, your name's been cursed more than a couple times at my house...

The book I always have my nose buried in
The forum that I "waste" all my time in.
The "cabinet" that (to date) is eating up my time and $

Good thing my wife doesn't know where you live.... ;)

definitely a great book.  they never had it at the local b&n or borders where i live.  they ordered it for me once, but it never arrived.   :hissy:  but this past weekend i took a trip to fry's in SJ to build my mame rig and i picked up the book there.  great book.  so i decided to join up in the forums.  lots of people who great ideas and secrets on how to get things done.

Hi all.

 My first post and i have to give credit where credit's due. After stumbling across PROJECT ARCADE a few months ago by accident i knew right away i just "HAD" to have it.
I must say this book is an "ABSOLUTE GEM" ,  well laid out,   easy to read,   and most importantly easy to understand  even for a total noob like myself. It covers all the bases and i just could'nt put it down till i read it right thru cover to cover.
I never knew about emulation until I found PROJECT ARCADE and now i'm hooked. I can't wait to get started on my first cab ( planning & tooling up at present) and sharing my results as i go. Hopefully not too much longer and i'll have a project to announce.   ;D

Thanks Saint for an OUTSTANDING "How To" book and showing me the light.     :notworthy:
