Yeah, my quote fu sucks, but my picture-fu has gotten much better.

I am actually fired up about helping, and I WILL do it, eventually.  For better or worse, I almost always chime in when someone is looking for help/advice.  I like this hobby and think it would be cool to payback to the community a little bit.   Maybe Vigo and I can tag team parts of it. I think the first step is to get rid of the old info, are all of those vendors still selling?

+1 Even if you don't think you will need it much, it is a great addition...or a gift for someone you want to bring into the hobby. 8)

Get the book, skim the book for the parts that relate to what you want to do, and then post your questions.  Lots of good information in there about the different options for buttons, sticks, cabs, etc.  You don't need to read every word, some sections won't be relevant to what you plan on doing, but the rest will be crucial, if only to serve as background info for what you eventually do.

And ignore most of the back/forth bitching that every thread ends up with, it just happens, but there is often good info buried among it.

CheffoJeffo:
It's all good ... maybe we should start a dedicated thread for suggested changed.

I don't think we should remove inactive vendors, but should update where there are inactive. Also update bad vendors (dunno if I have missed any).

I should also get off ---my bottom--- and write an article about doing a simple JAMMA cab to MAME cab conversion.

Maybe after tax season ....   >:D

Donkbaca:
I'm going to tackle slim cabs, lcds and xbox 360 cabs.  Maybe also do a consoles page.  Not caliming to be an expert on all this stuff, but at least it will be a start. give me 2 weeks.
