MAME Cabinet #18

Posted on 21st April 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I’m in a bit of a dilemma at the moment. I can’t really move on until I decide on a display for my cabinet. Ideally, I would probably like to have a large arcade monitor as it could be rotated for vertical or horizontal games. However, they are quite expensive compared to a TV and …

MAME Cabinet #17

I tested the control panel out at the weekend and….it works perfectly! I have to say, I didn’t expect it to. The i-Pac worked at treat and it appears it is as easy to set up as everyone says. So, I got my first taste of playing MAME using genuine arcade controls. It was fantastic – they …

The control panel is now complete and all the wiring is done – that was fun…..I think! Anyway, here’s some nice pics of my spaghetti wiring and finished panel complete with T-Molding.

Okay, my control panel is pretty much finished! Just need to apply some T-Molding to the edge – I didn’t have time this weekend. Anyway, the panel looks pretty cool, at least I think it does. I’m quite happy with my button and joystick positions, they feel natural. Here’s a couple of pics. (Edit: Pictures …

MAME Cabinet #14

Posted on 19th March 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

Well, the missing coin door was sent to me within a couple of days of my pointing out it’s absence to Happ Controls – so they’ve redeemed themselves a bit on that one. I’ve finished drilling all the button holes and completed one of the joystick positions. I wanted a flush finish for the joysticks …

MAME Cabinet #13

Posted on 9th March 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I’ve started work on my control panel. Managed to cut the groove (1/16th” router bit) for the T-Molding (after first having a practice on a spare piece of MDF, of course!). Not too bad a job and the T-Modling slots in nicely. I then played around with a few button & joystick layouts. This took …

MAME Cabinet #12

Posted on 6th March 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I’ve given up on getting MAME to work in pure DOS. I’ve installed Windows 98 and I’ve settled for running Advance MAME in DOS mode under Windows 98. Not ideal, but hey…at least it works. After two and a half months my order from Happ Controls finally turned up! I think that’s a record for anything I’ve …

MAME Cabinet #11

Posted on 29th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

Having a nightmare trying to get my MAME computer to work on the TV. DOS works fine. Windows works fine. Anything MAME related? Nope. Doesn’t want to know. I’ve tried ArcadeOS – worked fine on my PC Monitor, but all I get on the TV is a scrambled mess. It is working because I can …

MAME Cabinet #10

Posted on 20th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

Well, all my parts from trusty Dabs turned up for the weekend but still nothing from Happ (grrrrr…..). Therefore, I set to putting the new MAME-dedicated computer together. I always put my own computers together (so much cheaper!) so this was no major task. The specification is as follows: ATX Mini Tower Case 300W (came with its …

MAME Cabinet #09

Posted on 14th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I placed my order yesterday with Dabs for the parts mentioned earlier. No sign of my stuff from Happ Controls yet though. I’m also having trouble finding a 1/16″ Router Bit to do the groove for the T-Molding. They seem to be freely available in the US but I’m yet to find one here in the UK, I need …
