sounds like one of those 1000-1 multi boards, then he added a fatter control panel to fit more buttons and joysticks on each side away from the original buttons..

Only $1800! ONLY 1 LEFT IN STOCK!!!!!

Actually, $1,800 is fairly reasonable if he used quality components.

It was the mame thing i didn't understand. I didnt think it was possible without MAME.  Thought it sounded fishy.

Also saint, what was illegal about it, im a little new to the arcade thing. Sorry for breaking the rules.

The 1000-in-1 boards are PC running MAME in violation of the license and the ROMS are also unlicensed.
