I use MAME for my old school fix. I haven't gone to Wonderland in a long time though...
That's a pretty cool collection. i've suspected for years there would be a market for vintage video games but i think that MAME has kept it from really gaining any real steam.
Thats pretty crazy! how does he even get around, it looks like theres no path!
Mmmmm Mame. My winter project:jimmydean said:

I haven't gone that far, but I should. Ajax has been kicking my ass trying to play it with a keyboard.Nathan Cloud said:Mmmmm Mame. My winter project:

How much do you have into it ($$$) so far?
That cabinet is good work. The controller board is probably the most expensive part (besides obviously the monitor/computer). You can gte solid arcade buttons from a few places online, but they usually run about $1-3 each, + the sticks (no idea on these). I wanted to build one for the longest time, but never get around to spending the money on it.
I was a field service tech for Discovery Zone as my first tech job repairing video and redemption games.
I was going to pick up one of the older neo-geo setups from a shop here in town, but never did it. I have seen some great ones out there, but I have never bothered.
If I could talk my wife into having it in the living room, I'd be set!

Well, I had the tv already, but so far i put about $1300 into building it. The controller was $700 alone (www.slikstik.com), picked up a bestbuy special pc for $350 after rebates and the rest was building materials.jimmydean said:
For the controller I figured if i was going to do this, I would do it right and get the Quad for 4 player goodness. I could have saved some serious cash going other routes.
I should also mention I spent countless hours setting up the pc and emulators and such. An eternity i tell you! Actually still am.
But it has warmed up, there is biking to do!
