Arcade machine and MAME

[alexis]

Does anyone know if i could use mame on an arcade machine, i was thinking of one with the SF 2 Champion Edition board

You'd have to take the board out I think and put in a PC.

Exactly

Here's a tutorial on doing it from scratch.

I've thought about it. my brother in law and my father in law are carpenters so it would be pretty easy to get help and use thier saws and stuff. the main thing about a real arcade cab is I want the side graphics and inserts. from a street fighter cab.

I'm waiting for The New Yankee Workshop to do a show on arcade cab building.

Ya I'm looking at building my own as well (eventually), but I want it to look real. Even if it just has mame artwork, I just want it to look professional, and am not sure how to go about that.

 

But it'll be years before I had the time and money to seriously consider building one.

lol that would pwn. he would make it out of oak, with all the old school tools and fancy carved scrollwork on the sides.

Is that a TV channel? I'm really lost when it comes to american channels, although I know the major ones.

 

Or then it's a magazine.
