How many use mame to make replica cabs??

(1/4) > >>

the3eyedblindman:
Now that I am almost done with the 4 player that can play all the mame games, console emulators, etc, I was thinking about getting an older pc and just having it run 1 mame game. Then making a replica cab. Basically instead of having a pcb, I would just use mame to run the 1 game. How many of you have done this, any pictures?

M3talhead:
To be honest, it'd probably be cheaper to find a working PCB on eBay or one of the newsgroups depending on the rarity of the game.

the3eyedblindman:
I have an old one layin around, and I dont want another multiple arcade machine, I would rather have a dedicated cab.

Here's something you may find of interest regarding this.

Arcade Machine on a Disk Website

Their goal is to get as many games as possible into the single game bootable floppy format.
That should require minimal ram, minimal CPU, and no hard drive.

AlanS17:
That's a great idea, but the first thing I would do is transfer it to a CD and boot it from a cd-rom drive. Diskettes have a limited number of read/writes before they go byebye, but optical discs can last indefinitely if they're taken care of.
