I'm back . . . Okay I doubt if anyone remembers let alone misses me.
MTD2:
Its been a few years. Can't tell you how exciting it is to see everything going gangbusters over here.
I've been away from the hobby, but I'm starting a new project. Anyone up for a crash course on changes in the last 4 or 5 years?
I was active here and in the hobby back when Andy was getting started with Ultimarc and Oscar was contemplating producing a few items. Oh how things have changed.
Anyway, I'm working on a couple new projects, a restro of a couple 81 PACMAN/GALAGA cabinets: cocktail and upright. I'll start with the cocktail. While I'm pretty set on the old school places for parts (wico, ultimarc, arcadeshop, etc) are there any new ones? Any new products to blow me out of the water?
Software, when I left arcadeos was about the only way to go? Now just about any smoe seems to have a frontend. Any suggestions?
Like I said . . . anyone willing to give me a crash course? Oh and anyone that can get my old handle back would be appreciated.
Oh and I have a lot of old stuff to unload . . why can't I post in b/s/t forum?

Welcome back. You have to have a minimum number of posts before you can post in B/S/T. I think it's ten. Go to project announcements and tell 10 people how great their projects are. Then you can post in B/S/T.
Wico just went out of business again, so you may want to skip them this time around.

Mameworld.com has a plethora of information about the latest and greatest.
Take a look at Mamewah as your frontend.
I still get a lot of my parts from Ultimarc, especially keyboard encoaders (IPAC).
Slikstik and groovy game gear also supply a lot of cool hardware items.
MYX:
Nope, can't say I remember you. But.
1. Blinky is the new not blinky.
2. Keyboard hacks are almost out as encoders have come down substantialy.
3. Noobs still ask the same questions.
4. The answers is still did you do a search.
5. Groovy Game Gear Rocks!
6. The level of craftsmanship has skyrocketed in the past few years.
7. MAMEY Awards
8. Anything that can be lit should be lit. Then see # 1
9. Any topic you can think of can and will start some sort of argument and Saint will put it in post hell then shake his finger at us and tell us to settle down.

Ultracade tried to take over the emulation world and tear the BYOAC apart in the process.
