Finally pulled the trigger on a mame cabinet
realmswalker:
Hello everyone,
I have been playing mame games for a long time, ever since i found a mame emulator i have been in love with the fact that I can play all my arcade favs without trekking to an arcade and then not even seeing my old favs like Strider, Double Dragon II etc. So I finally pulled the trigger on a cabinet. I truggled between a two player and four player but opted with a four player as there are many four player games I love such as the D&D, simpsons, tmnt, crime fighters, and a few others. I also opted for two lightguns to come with the cab as i absolutely love shooters like terminator 2, dragon gun, etc. I decided to go with the Arcades R Fun as they had a few more options available that I liked, and a bigger screen than their competitors. So the end result is a 42" 4 player cab with light guns, spinner and trackball, a 4 way joy, and dual joys on player one and two for games like smash tv and the like, led buttons, and some custom artwork. It wasn't cheap, but I wanted a cab that could do it all. don't care about driving games all that much so I opted to not have a steering wheel.
Dealing with Jack has been a pleasure, he has answered all my questions and been communicative whenever i wanted to discuss something. Here is a link to an example of what I am getting. It should get to me on the 9th or 10th and I cant wait. Here is an example of what it will look like with different artwork. Can't wait to get it and get it going.

This comment made my week. :D
Looks cool, glad your getting what you think will make you happy. Enjoy. :)

You might want to wait until you actually get it before singing its praises.
At least the P3 & 4 joysticks are oriented correctly, which is better than most "commercial" builders.
Personally, I can't play so close to a screen that big, but to each their own.
Kier:
Damn, that thing is huge. I actually like the side art and colors though. But worry about the screen being too big too close.
