Thanks a lot man.

It did take quite a bit of work, but theres loads of plans available for building full size cabnets. All I did was scale it down and use a ps1 screen.

Starting a new project. Looking for a little help.

Well i must say that MAME system is absolutly amazing!

You know how good it is?!

So good i'm 100% convinced and want to build one now, i had been toying with the idea of having a full size sys but that mini one is amazing.

Now to comence the planning...

 

[Folkfan]

If you want any help let me know. Bult it a few years ago but I do remember most of how I did it. Also I've got a few ideas for improvments, that I dont have time to do myself.

That would be excellent.

Could you give me a brief discription of the spec of the system just so i can get an idea of what i need to run a decent MAME sys.

I've only really ever looked into it, i guess i need todo a bit more research before i jump right into it. But i do have lots of time for the next year as i'm unable to work due to a car accident.
