ok let's all tell a story on how we found BYOAC.
SNAAKE:
First game I ever ran was cadillacs and dinosaurs on callus emulator and I KNEW there had to be a way to build my own arcade control cuz keyboard just wasnt doing it for me so I searched aol for "arcade controls" and.... :o
Been here since the begining.

A friend of mine told me about this cool website that showed people hacking keyboards and Microsoft Sidewinders and hooking them up to arcade joysticks and buttons. Said that people were buying derelict arcade cabinets (or finding them for free) and putting it all together for MAME gaming magic!
So...I came to this website while on a break at work. My buddy and myself must have sent at least 100 emails that day, back and forth talking about our plans for making our own arcade goodness. One trashed arcade cabinet, two hacked Sidewinders, one shipment from Happs (back when they wouldn't sell to the public and we had to pick a fake corporate name to buy from them--heh--) and VIOLA!
Finding this site was a memorable day, to say the least!

I remember it well, a long, long, long time ago. I was working on building my first arcade panel. I had been talking about it a little bit on the forums at daves classics (which was "The website" back then 98 or 99).
Saint had just started his website at that time and personally invited me to check it out. Ever since that point I've been hooked. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm glad that BYOAC has been there for the majority of that time.

You know, I just can't remember. Must be all those drugs frm the 60's man! ;) (And yes, for our more gullible readers, that was I joke. I WAS only 2 when the 60's ended!)
I know it must have been shortly after I found the Commodore 64 emulation stuff though. Probably some related link from one of the C64 sites.
Makes you wonder how Saint found it though ;D (Which came first, BYOAC or Saint?)
