So… a MAME’ing we go.

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

For a while now, I’ve wanted to make a MAME Cabinet, being inspired by MAKE magazine and also Michael Erskine’s appearance at LUGRadio Live 2006 with his MAME cabinet.

So, well, I’ve just been chatting to the guy who runs my local gaming cafe and he has a Konami cabinet that was used for playstation games which he’s trying to get rid of. (unfortunately, I can’t find any information about it online!)

It’s got the perfect sizes for a PC to be put in the back, hooked up with a couple of Playstation-stylee controllers and loaded up with MAME.

 It could be fun… I just need to know where to start.

 Getting an old PC to host would be a start… anyone got one they want to donate?
