Endrians First MAME Cab?

That kid's got the bug now.

Cardboard now... Particle Board tomorrow... eventually his garage is overflowing and then his wife leaves him.
 
Hey, I remember when I was around that age I built armor out of cardboard and painted it silver, I was a damn fine knight in my mind. Wish i still had the imagination and took pleasure in the simple joys I did back then. Hell if I could still pull that off I would be driving my Vibe around and in my mind I would be screaming down the highway in my Mclaren. I think it's great! Hell I did just fine with my cardboard armor background... It's a good thing we didn't have you tube when I was young. I would have been exposed for the complete loser that I was, and probably arrested a few times :)
 
"Arcade in a box". lol

EDIT: Referring to his description of the project. Nice to see kids actually being creative and building stuff. Seems lost on so many these days.

Aw, give the kid a break. I can't really tell how old he is, but I could see my son doing something like that.
 
Not bustin' on the kid... but rather Endrian.

:D

I hope that with my supervision, my kid will be a little more advanced than that in MAME building by the time he's 8 to 10 years old...

(I can see it now... "Dad... I'm gunna use your router to cut some t-molding slots, OK?" "Sure son, just make sure to wear your goggles and if you drop the router I'm taking your Xbox 720 away!)
 
BTW, did Endrien abandon us?

Yeah, I'd help my son do something better too, but what I mean to say is I could see him on his own doing this to the computer he uses and showing me when I get home.
 
Kid doesn't look any older than 10...give him a break!

Yeah, to us it sucks, but he's probably still in the "People can own those big machines? No WAY!" phase...wait till he's old enough to afford to buy a cab.

Hell I didn't know at 16 I could own one myself, just didn't know where one would even start looking.
Then at 18 friend gave me an empty CPS1A cab and I bought a Double Dragon board on Ebay....let the insanity begin!
 
I think it's great. I love the credit card thing. If some one lives close to him donate a Cab. I bet the thing would be tech, hell none of our cabs take plastic as far as I know. Hahahahaha.
I think he will be on here before we know it. Rock on little man.

I have a coin door that has a card reader in it. I could donate it to him! :D
 
Pretty much what i think of MAME, lol

You obviously don't know any better then...

Not making fun of the kid here....

but hopefully his parents took one look at that thing and realized they shouldn't pay to put him through engineering school.
 
Man, I feel for the kid.

I think we should all pitch in together and get him a real desktop control panel. Surely we can all pitch in to get him a cheap used X-Arcade?

I mean, the poor kid doesn't even know that arcade games are supposed to take coins!
