Most of the roms are unchanged from that era until today, and most of the ones that did change were those HUGE romsets. I remember some of them 50+ meg ones changing like 4 or 5 times.

And even then, a ROM manager (such as ClrMame can sort out 99% of those.

I just finished my cab, and I haven't submitted it yet. It's kinda big for a bartop, but it's about the smallest that can be made with a 15" horizontal monitor. It's 23" tall.

In my case, the PC case was just 1/2" narrower than the monitor, and a lot shallower. That just leaves the height -- I might have been able to shave 3" by mounting the components without the case, but the height of the PCI cards and the power supply are givens. It would have required a lot more planning to build it sans case.

Since my PC and monitor are still in their cases, It's not too big a deal to pull them out to work on them, should any work be needed.

I have some pictures and text: www.2fiddles.com
