My First Arcade Cabinet!
ShaggyNerd:
I have finally begun work on my first MAME cabinet! I do not have the wood, joysticks, or pushbuttons yet, but the computer I am typing this new topic with is soon going to be the "brain" of my cabinet. Let's hope that when I do get the other parts, I don't fail. ;)

If you use your computer for the cabinet how will you let us know when you are done? :D

You're doing pretty much what I did. First I got everything running on the computer the way I wanted, then I started buying the building materials and controls. Do you know what size/type of monitor you'll be using? If so, get that soon so you'll know how well your PC works with it, then you can base the cabinet's dimensions around it.

My cab has a USB WiFi adapter and a keyboard tray. So I can access forums whenever I want. :P

Learn from my mistake now.
Get a back up hard drive and back up everything.
It is not a fun process having to reinstall emulators, front ends, emulators, etc.
Then there are the game lists, the front end configuration.
And Gig of roms to reinstall.
Granted things are cleaner the second time around, I wish I did not have to redo everything.
Get a USB hard drive now!
