MAME nut:
After about a month of working on my new toy, I've got a few questions....

So far, I have purchased an old Pac Man cabinet.  I gutted it, sanded and painted it.  I picked up a used computer (P2/350/128 RAM) with a 21" flat screen monitor.  I also purchased a 3 pc speaker/sub set.

My plans are to buy a X-Arcade two-man controller and mount it to the cabinet.  Anyone have any input on this??  Any unforseen problems with doing this??  

After that, I figure all that's left is programming the computer??  Anything I'm forgetting??  Any other components needed??

Thanks,

If the control panel is still there you might want to save money and Build Your Own Arcade Controls. It would look much neater.

MAME nut:
The old control panel was missing.  

Any limitation from using the X-Arcade controller ??

No but it might not look very good. But hey your machine your choice.

Goz:
How would you mount the X-Arcade? I mean with the general shape of a PAC cab and the size / shape  of the X-Arcade, You'd probably have to make a large cut in the front to accomodate the X-Arcade (this could prove to be difficult).
