Coming back to the Hobby!
« on: January 07, 2016, 11:24:14 pm »
Its been a while, I started on this forum back in 2005.  I built my first MAME monstrosity within the first year of getting into this community.  I was so excited it was a great time and a great experience.  There was so much to learn, LOTS of talented people here... just awesome. 

A lot of life has happened since then and now... Some good some not so good, but hey that's life right?

I'm starting back slowly, revisiting my MAME cabinet to refresh it and make it more contemporary.  I am so excited at all of the options (both hardware and software) available now that didn't exist when I build my MAME cab.  The craftsmanship and creativity of this community has really stepped up since I began this hobby.  I'm in AWE at what I see today! 

Psyched to be back!

Cheers!
 :cheers:

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.
