Mame cabinet or leave it as is
mikev43:
Ok so I have a decent original Contra jamma cabinet and everything works. The bottom is a little rough and the side art is painted grey. My question is should I convert this to a MAME cabinet or leave as it and clean it up a bit?
some general questions
Can the whole cabinet be taken apart and put back together?
If I did go the mame route would I use a j-pac and remove the existing control layout and use an x-arcade or make one myself with the existing stuff?
I really don't want to do a whole lot of drilling etc.. so the x-arcade or similar sounds like a good solution..
Is it hard to modify the control area to fit an x-arcade?
I don't really care about using it for anything but a PC and MAME...
Suggestions please!!

If everything is working then leave it as is or restore it. You can come across broken cabs to MAME fairly regularly... Post pics please

Arcade Contra is nowhere near as good as the NES version. MAME away!

DO NOT do an X-Arcade conversion. Please god no. :(
