No classic were harmed in the making of this cabinet..

Just got my custom built mame cab today. Got it all hooked up and playing, now I just need to tweak the software. It has flipper buttons on the side so I want to install visual pinball and some other software. No mame hating now children...haha

It has one of those color changing trackballs. Which looks cool in a dark room. A 4 way joystick, and a spinnerdialknob, 2 8ways.

It was made by Arcadesrus out of Jersey. He did an amazing job and really nailed the artwork that I provided for him that I got off a fellow mame guy.

Looks very retro. I like it! However, it looks like you have 8 directions on your control panel for the 4 way joy. Looks like you need to do it over...

:)
 
looks like quite a reach to that 4 way. also too far to the left for pac games, i dont know about the rest of you but i play them right handed so i think you would be standing way off to the left and reaching, but if pac games arent your thing or you play them left handed i guess it wouldnt be any big deal.
 
very nice. A friend of mine has one from someone else and it is a b***h of a thing to work on. Craftsmanship sucked. Yours looks like some effort went into it. I really like it! Congrats
 
Just curious.. what type of LCD did you find/use for that? I can't seem to find anything but widescreen ones.

It a widescreen. Not perfect, but it does the job. Great looking for pc games as well. Also future pinball and visual pinball look amazing on it.

It was expensive, and took a long time to get here. But with my craftsmanship skills it would have taken me 5 years, and at the end it would have just fallen over :p

I looked long and hard to try and decide what artwork I wanted on it. I didn't want one that was covered in 50 different characters and looked gawdy. I think the artwork turned out amazing.

I'm just busy tweaking all the software now :)
 
I'm just using mala for now as I'm familiar with it. It's plain and simple and does the trick. I have also got hyperspin setup pretty good. Not sure I'm going to use it or not though. I have future pinball installed with hundreds of tables, as well as Microsoft Pinball (haunted house plays great on it) I also have Visual Pinball installed, and a bunch of cab friendly PC games. Just using itunes for a music player. Got a few different emulators installed at the moment besides mame. ie nes, super nes, genesis, etc

Alot of work getting it all running the way I want it. It's not as good as a dedicated cab but it's nice to have such HUGE variety in games. Some of the future/visual pinball games are amazing as well. They look great on the LCD.
