    I'm running MAME 214 in my cabinets...is it worth upgrading anymore?

    That exactly why.. I'm over 75 versions back from what I have, so there is always a curiosity to what's new and what might be better...but not at the cost of playability and performance. Thanks for all the excellent insight and advice. I'll experiment on a separate PC, grab a ROM manager and...

    I'm running MAME 214 in my cabinets...is it worth upgrading anymore?

    I didn't even think of that aspect... Very true. I'll stay with what works. Last thing I want in this stage of my life is more headaches.

    I'm running MAME 214 in my cabinets...is it worth upgrading anymore?

    I have 5 MAME cabinets total. 1 vertical, 2 horizontal and 1 Cafe ( 2 sided). Everything I have works good in MAME 214, but apparently things have changed with sounds and maybe other aspects that are more accurate but I only run the old classics...no fighting, adult based, or stuff like that...

    Sounds good. I'd rather that. It's already set up for your board. Not sure if you can see the connectors in any pics. I'll start on it next week and let you know how it goes.

    FS Parts: Hantarex monitor for sale. Good working condition

    I have a dirty, but very serviceable Hantarex model number 02-90086 for sale. It came out of a working, thoroughly beat up Galaxian cabinet I restored and MAME'd. I was going to use it, but decided to just stick with an LCD screen for safety with grandkids. I don't know or care what it's...

    The making of "The Quest for Space Knife"

    Been working my tail off on it the past week. I'm very happy with the progress... Coin door is done now, painted semi-gloss black with gloss play splatter for effect. All new $.25 lenses and new 161 bulb sockets which it was missing. The monitor mount is complete. Will be a Dell 20" 4:3...

    The making of "The Quest for Space Knife"

    Hi. Thanks. So I'm tossing up using GameEx under a windows 7 64bit build, vs doing Batocera... with Batocera, I don't like using MAME2003 or the older variants. I run my other MAME cabinets on version 140 through custom GameEx themes. I know Batocera is nearly bullet-proof, but for Arcade...

    The making of "The Quest for Space Knife"

    A big shout out and thanks to TheArcadeBoneyard.com. I purchased a Midway cabinet back panel that he hand makes. It's perfect. An exact duplicate of the original unit...right down to pre drilled and countersunk screw holes. I'm very happy with the fit. I picked it up in person while I was...

    The making of "The Quest for Space Knife"

    Finally, today I finished the repairs. The extensions give a whole different look to the cabinet. The bottom looks more like a Stern cabinet. Lol.

    The making of "The Quest for Space Knife"

    Stripping was arduous...but I found that Easy Off oven cleaner works great! That when I found that these were not the original sides to this cabinet, no white Formica. I also discovered from the layers of paint that it had been converted to a Ms. Pac-Man and some other game before returning...

    The making of "The Quest for Space Knife"

    Being a huge fan of Stranger Things and knowing this cabinet and game didn't exist, other than a fun tribute to someone that worked on the show, I decided it would make a really cool wedding gift for my daughter and son-in-law who love my arcade machines, both the real and MAME cabinets I own...

    Repro model number and warning stickers aluminum/vinyl

    This is from the back of what was a Galaxian cabinet, then converted to Ms. Pac-Man. The same sticker appears on the back of my Gorf cabinet, but different font. The letters are blue on this one, on the Gorf, they're black. My guess is they were for US and Canada models.

    Easy-Off oven cleaner great for paint stripping cabinets.

    I know I sound nuts here...but this is the 2nd time I am having to strip a cabinet from that typical thick black goo paint many of these old cabinets are covered with when they're converted into other games... And wow does it work!! I tried using regular paint stripper, coat after coat of the...

    Cracked lamination on wood

    Lowes sells cabinet paint that goes on smooth as glass, no spray. Use a roll sponge. Sand the surface down, and have at it. I use this paint on all my cabinets rather than spraying now. It's an oil based, water clean-up..if that even makes sense. I think it's more of a dye than a paint...

    Midway plastic u-channel for glass edge?

    Hi. I've been looking for years for this stuff or at least some form of replacement. Anyone have any idea what they used, or if I can source a good replacement somewhere? I'm reworking a Galaxian cabinet now and I need it, along with my Gorf cabinet that is missing the right side. I used...
