MAME Arcade Cabinet - Page 4

I like the arcade games. I had an Aliens vs Predator one that worked flawlessly. I'm gonna have to bust out my box of hold HDD's and find them.

Haven't updated this in awhile. Still moving ahead.

Ordered a bunch of stuff, still need to build the control panel.

I picked up my former NFL Blitz 99 cabinet that was f'in fucked up from the guy I got to restore it. Came out pretty freakin epic. New speakers, refurbed 26" arcade CRT, working lamp for marquee.

Just going to stick my an old computer of mine in it to MAME it. Currently got that running and hooked up to a cardboard control panel for testing.

Looking good so far!

Working away at the control panel, she will be ready to play in no time.

Already got the top cut with plexi, but still trying to figure out how I plan to mount the joysticks.

Damn! That panel is going to have its' own zipcode!

yeah it's big, but its got everything, it will look very similar to this, but with a TMNT design of course and 7th buttons for 1 and 2 player.

Picked up the panel from the guy that was putting on the artwork for me during lunch today. Time to start the fun part I been looking forward to since I started this project. WIRING!!! YEY, finally I get to be a dorky electrical.

Will take some picks when I get home.

That's it, got all the pieces to complete it, may need some more wiring, but that is an easy stop at radio shack.

Can't wait to see it in action.

Here's the finished control panel not populated, got the track ball and joysticks in, but these aren't the joystick shafts I am using. I have longer ones that are hollow for my RGB joystick balls.

Just about to start putting on the buttons.
