MAME Cabinet #08

Posted on 12th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

Still no parcel from Happ Controls, but my I-Pac turned up very quickly. Nice one Ultimarc! I stripped down an old telephone extension cable I had lying around and took out the four inner cables to use when I wire my buttons to my I-Pac. I also put my control panel together today. I’d already …

MAME Cabinet #07

Posted on 9th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I’ve placed my order with Happ Controls for two 4/8 way joysticks, 12 coloured buttons, a 1 Player button and a 2 Player button, a coin door and T-Molding. Oooh, can’t wait until it all turns up. I’ve also ordered my I-Pac keyboard encoder from Ultimarc. I already have a motherboard, CPU (1GHz Athlon), 256MB RAM and a …

MAME Cabinet #06

Moving on, I installed the top back section and the top itself. The angled back section was going to require cutting the edges at a 45 degree angle. Since I hadn’t figure out how I was going to do that yet I installed the speaker panel first. After many trials and head scratching I manage …

Once you’ve cut all the parts you can start screwing it all together. I started by putting the base together. Having previously built the model helped here as from the pictures provided it isn’t totally obvious what you are supposed to do. Anyway, you get the base section and attach the two lower supports lengthwise …

Finally, I got around to starting work on the actual cabinet. Once you get going on this it is very hard to stop! However, it is important to take a step back and look at how you are progressing. First stage is to cut up that nasty square wood into lovely arcade cabinet shapes. This …

MAME Cabinet #03

Posted on 5th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

Before I started working on real full size sheets of MDF, I thought I’d cut all the parts out using cardboard first. I cut 3 8×4 sections from an old cardboard box and proceeded to cut out all the sections detailed in the plans. Then I started to cello tape them together. I am really …

MAME Cabinet #02

Posted on 4th January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I did quite a lot of research into what other people did before embarking on my own project. In the end, I chose to follow the plans provided by LuSid as the design appealed to me and the plans seemed fairly straightforward. You can get lots of information on building/repairing cabinets over at Arcade Controls. So, first by …

MAME Cabinet #01

Posted on 3rd January 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I’ve been playing with M.A.M.E. arcade emulator for quite a few years now. It’s an amazing piece of software that lets you play all the arcade games you used to play as a kid (assuming you’re a thirty-something like me that is!). It basically lets you ‘plug in’ the original ROMs from the arcade machine and the …
