You aren't running Excel on your cab?  Then what's the point of building one?  I put Excel in mine and I have all of my friends over for some mad spreadsheet action!  I highly recommend "Alan Greenspan's Extreme Checkbook Balancer: Underground" if you want to throw down some sick Debits and Credits, yo.

i only play greenspan games on my federal economatic console emulator. would feel just plain silly playing 'reserve bank panic' on an arcade machine. really...

EasterEgg in Excel 97:  Press F5, then type x:97 L:97 then press enter, followed by tab. hold down ctrl and shift, then click the graphs button on the toolbar (you might have to enable this beforehand).  press Escape a few times to exit.

taken from http://www.cheatplanet.com/pccheats/microsoft_excel_97.htm, don't blame me if its slightly wrong.  I tested it ages ago and it worked for me!  (not a an arcade cabinet mind you)

first person to config their IPAC to make it possible to enter the easter egg wins my respect!  and thats about all.

Alternatively, anyone up for writing a frontend that supports this?  Minwah?

Heh, also could play that clever version of PacMan in Excel...

I think DC's are a good idea in cabs, since there are so many arcade perfect (or better) ports of decent digital-control based games.  I will also eventually be running Mega Drive & SNES, but only for a handful of my old faves :)

The only console i would even think about putting in a cab with mame is dreamcast. Full speed arcade games like blitz, with great graphics, and easily hackable controler, and its very cheap, i am probably going to put one in my cab, anything else i would just use an emulator.
