I sir (term used only for dramatic effect)am not a nerd...I am a dork...and I embrace that. I think your brain is fried from too many video games...after all...you've played for so long. You are completely missing the point.
It is so very easy to criticize others when you have done nothing.
I run into this all the time...people down my basketball skills...then when I challenge them, their ankle is broken, or they have to leave, or whatever.
I suck at basketball...but I love playing and at least have the balls to play...and play against those much better than I. Admittedly...some of the cabs are hideous...to me that is. At least the people had the gumption to build them.
Do you at least have a rough draft of your cab? Could we mock..errr.see it? You have had 7 years....I'm figuring you made at least one draft no?
And just you wait til you see my cab...it'll be on the wall of shame for sure...but it'll be mine.
Xam

I'm reeling from your witty repartee. ::)
Show us your cab.
We can't very well alert the CrapMame website about your ideas about a cab. It doesn't work that way. You actually have to show the balls and BUILD something.
Or lemme guess, you're a millionaire and you're gonna just pay someone to build it. Well, you're not ACTUALLY a millionaire, you've just been THINKING about becoming one for the last 7 years.

I am pretty sure that he didn't mean anything was wrong with them. Now that they are readily available it is much easier to make a nice looking cab. Since many of those cabs were being ripped on for using 15" CRTs in a huge cab, he made the abaove point.

Thanks for the defence in my absence. :) That's exactly what i meant. If I built my cocktail 5 years ago, i can guarantee I wouldn't have used a 21" flat CRT in it. You really had to love your arcades if you were willing to go through all the trouble of hacking a keyboard and building a dedicated cabinet for a 15"-17" screen.

You, sir, are an idiot.

I have built some laughable stuff in my day...not a laughable arcade cabinet...yet...but I can say that I would proudly post anything I made...no matter how much of a joke it would seem...
If people looked at what I posted and laughed, and even told me they thought it was bad...I'd be ok...as I expect critism as part of what I post....
However, when somebody takes what I posted, published it elsewhere WITHOUT MY CONSENT (which I doubt the guy did). And openly mocked it behind my back...I would be extremely offended....
That is what this issue is about...these people can't defend themselves, nor do most of them have any idea that thousands of people laughed at the expense of their hard work...
I understand that this can be used as a guide of what not to do, but that I why I think this would be exceptional if the pictures were given with permission to be ridiculed. (and a little less swearing too).
In fact, I bet there are people out there who would be willing to volunteer their mistakes to show people what not to do.
:cheers: to all who defended the cab creators!
