Build a seriously cool MAME cabinet


 

How to build a seriously cool MAME cabinet by technick85

"Feels good man."

How I did it: Bought a broken "Hogan's Alley" from local thrift store. Shelled it out, popped in some brackets, a monitor, an X-Arcade panel, and a computer with TONS of roms. Bought CHD images from romcollector.com and downloaded the rest from mininova.org and thepiratebay.org

Lessons & tips: If you really want to make one but you can't at the moment, you'll try your best till you do!

    Yet another thing that will have to wait 3 years ago

    This will have to wait till after I move to seattle, and maybe even till after I buy a home. I have looked into this a bit and I am pretty certain I want to build a Cocktail Cabinet, at least for my first one. I wish I didnt have to wait on this one, but it looks like I do.

    Not a cabinet but I've built a seriously cool MAME controller 3 years ago

    I’ve got plenty of documentation on my website for anyone looking for help: http://cdspoolrocket.info/mame.html

    Untitled 3 years ago

    Used a cabinet I found on EBay, plexiglass from junk yard/glass shop, spare computer parts for the most part, a good sized TV, 5.1 surround. painted it black, installed shelves for speakers, and hooked up two controllers for now. Has MAME, project64, ZSNES, Nesticle, and ePSXe with over 1000 games on a bootleg copy of Windows Server Edition 2003.

    A good time waster =]

    The cabinet 4 years ago

    My plans are slightly altered. I picked up an old Galaga cabinet for free. This time around I’m going to create a “classic game” machine.

    The Start 4 years ago

    OK, I’ve gotten some temporary hardware to run the games on. I’m going to start with the control panel and build the cabinet from there. For the software frontend, I think I’ve settled on MameWAH. It’s fairly customizable and easy to use.

    Time to order some joysticks and buttons.
