My dad just bought a new computer to replace his 1998 compaq presario, I was thinkin about building a dedicated pacman cab with it...Any other ideas of what I should do with it? Other cabs to consider besides pacman?
OSCAR:
Might consider a Vantage-based cab. In my spare(?) time, I'm putting together a cabinet w/ a pc of about the same vintage, and it runs perfectly and looks beautiful with an arcade monitor. Very simple setup running pure DOS, ArcadeOS, and Vantage; besides being able to run many vertical classics at 100% with an old 233MHz pc. BTW, I'm using an ATI RageII video card to output directly to an arcade monitor using a J-PAC for the encoder.

Since Im almost finished with the "4 player mame cab", and I aquired this pc, I was thinking about just putting the pacman rom in there, and making a dedicated pac man cab, and wiring up a coindoor..(would have a mug of quarters of course, wouldnt charge..) I already have the one cab that plays "everygame", so I thought the dedicated pac would be nice, if any other rom it would be games that just use a 4 way stick and no action buttons. The cab would be a complete replica, no changes anywhere. I was just wondering if pacman was a good choice, anyone think any other cabs would be better, or have other ideas for this pc?

If you're gonna do a Pac cab, why not have all the Pac's available for it? Use MameWAH and have a Pac themed layout....
