Title: NOW what do I do?
Post by: lharles on June 06, 2006, 12:31:56 pm

I'm 'finished'.  Er, with the arcade cabinet, that is.  :)  All that's really left is to put some sort of sideart/artwork on there.  It's somethin' I want to do but not a huge deal at this point.

SO, what else should I do...now that I'm 'finished'?

Of course, just by asking that question or referencing the artwork it sort of says that I'm NOT finished, right?

This really is going to be an addiction, isn't it?  :)

Make another cabinet.   Finish the artwork then make another cabinet.

Decide / finsh the artwork, and if you have only finished the cabnet, you may want to put a PC, Display, and controls on it (but to each their own).. ;)

How did it turn out ?(Post pics, if you have already, post a link for us lazy folks... ;D)

Getting Mame, frontend, roms, and controls set the way you want it can take time, but that's the easy/fun part (IMHO)

Congrats on getting this far....and yeah, you're probably hooked... >:D

The word "finish" or any variation thereof, is not in the arcade builder's vocabulary. ;D

Seriously.  You think you're finished.  You'll figure out something that you just HAVE to do to make it even better.

My cabinet will never be "finished" -- only "presentable".

Congratulations!

What to do now?

My yard could use a mowing and my truck needs a washing. That would fill up a Saturday morning.

After that you could relax by playing some games on your new cab...
