So what he a jerk because he tried to deal with people pirating his plans, or was he otherwise generally disagreeable?

--- End quote ---

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.  He's generally disagreeable.  Super passive aggressive and ultra-sensitive.  He acts syrupy, almost absurdly sweet and then if people don't agree with him, it's like flipping a switch; he suddenly turns into a myopic, unreasonable, ridiculous jerk.

He was never a jerk because he tried to deal with people pirating his plans.  He was a jerk because of how he tried to deal with people pirating his plans.  He threatened Saint with legal action to shut down BYOAC, as though Saint had anything to do with a couple of users sharing Cyberpunk's arcade plans.  And keep in mind, that's what it was -- a couple of users, communicating through PM (for all I know it wasn't even that and was just in Cyberpunk's head).  It's not like there was a freaking piracy ring, or Saint was hosting the PDFs in the BYOAC download section or something.  Cyberpunk was also incredibly rude and publicly insulting to Saint, completely ignoring the fact that without Saint and the community of BYOAC hobbyists Saint has fostered, Cyberpunk's market would be probably 1/100 the size that it was/is.

He also had a retarded avatar.

So is Scott still the current owner of mameroom.  I was going to buy one of the new bartop kits, and have had real difficulty getting him to respond to my emails.

studmuff:
I have never bought a fully assembled cab from either, but I have bought the Ultimate Arcade II kit and the classic controller assembled by MAMEroom (the above link that was a demo - lighting blue 6 buttons).  You will not be disappointed with MAMERoom.  If you already have a computer you can get one of there kits to assemble.  It is extremely easy to put together, you do need a second person at the end to help put the part where the monitor and marquee goes to the base though.  If you have ever put a desk, cabinet, bookshelf, etc together it will be a piece of cake.  The control panel - either by a cut out and wire it yourself or buy a 2 player from mameroom, x-arcade tankstick or a hotrod - depending on what you want out of your control panel.  Monitor doesn't have to be an arcade monitor in my opinion.  I have a sharp crt tv 27" that works great.  Go on craigs list or newspaper, there out there for cheap unless you want to run gaves at high resolution.  The nice thing about building your own is that you can really customize it to your needs.  At some point I will try building a 4 player control panel once my gets get a little older ( I have a 3, 2, and a newborn, so I'm sure at some point we'll need more player controls  ;D).

I dealt with MAMEroom twice, once for the cab and once for the control panel.  Scott always responded to my questions about items, shipping, etc.  There products are of great quality and you won't be disappointerd if you went with them.

This was a great website for reference when I was starting out with my project last year.  There are many others on this forum as well to reference.

If you ever need help with anything the guys on BYOAC forums are a great help and you can always message me if you have any questions.

For what it's worth, Scott from Mameroom and I are on good terms with one another. I try to stay out of conversations regarding user opinions of various vendors and let interactions stand on their own merits, but because that subject has come up as relates to me I thought I should put that out there.

Mameroom:
For what it's worth, Cyberpunk was my profile name when this was merely a hobby for me.  As it grew into a business, "CyberPunk" did not seem like a very appropriate name if my business was to be taken seriously. 

As for the other names used.  I have several companies:

Cybertech Designs LLC (Consulting and development)
Digital Innovations LLC (Software development)
Mameroom Designs LLC (Custom Manufacturing)

and a few others that have no relevance...As relevant, my screen name has changed accordingly.

Regarding my attitude...although I feel I don't have to explain myself as my reputation and customer service speak for themselves...I want to comment about this so there is no doubt in anyone's mind my intentions or convictions.

I do not have multiple personalities, but multiple responses and attitudes:

If I am dealing with a customer that has spent their hard earned money with my company...I am always friendly, courteous and genuinely helpful regardless of how they correspond with me.  I take care of my customers and you will have a hard time (if at all) any one of my customers that would disagree with this.

If you are not a customer, have no intentions of being a customer, and are trying to steal from me, my company...or if you are just a plain jerk...then I will respond in kind, as I owe you nothing.

But if you want a good product, great technical and customer support, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee with anything you purchase...Mameroom, Cyberpunk, VMJ Team, and any other screen name I so choose to use...will take extremely good care of you.  If you are someone that has nothing better to do than to dig up post and issues SEVERAL years old...I can't help you, nor will I...as your intentions speak for you.

Hey, check out the latest control panel we did here:
