A MAME game

This is a really nice project. I wondered what you had been busy with. Now I can see that you have been playing “video games”. :)

The artwork is pretty cool as well. Enjoy it while you can. I am sure that you will have to schedule time on it when your daughter gets a little older.

Holy cow! Have you ever done anything simple? As usual, very impressive.

Very Cool as usual. Thanks for the post Gary.

-- Bruce from Central New York...now, if you'll pardon me, I have some sawdust to make.

Very nice Gary!

This would be up my Grandson’s alley, he’d love something like this.

yeah, those ‘old games’ are the best… or maybe it’s just nostalgia. I liked the idea of building up an arcade looking box for it though – much cooler then playing those on my laptop… lol – but then again, you need to stand up for that…

in the future when I have the space for it – I’ll definitely adopt this idea – it just looks too cool!

Thanx for sharing, and thanx Greg and Tim for the design!

This is crazy! I have never heard of this before, but very cool. You are very talented.

John – No, no progress pictures. Greg and Tim did a good job covering that.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. And I have an emulator for it as well. So now I have all the old C64 games that I used to play as well. Forbidden Forrest, Summer games, Impossible mission, Lode Runner…Ah, memories of Jr. High.

-- When my wife ask's what I have to show for my wood working hobby, I just show her the splinters.

Chardt – The C-64 was my third computer. My first was a Timex Sinclair ZX81 I bought for $99 and had to build myself. My second was a Vic-20.

Lode Runner is my favorite all time game.

I’ve been meaning to build another panel for a steering wheel and light guns for some time now. The DOS emulation is weak to non-existent, so I’d have to boot into Windows and run a 32bit version of MAME to use them. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet, although I do have the force feedback steering wheel sitting inside the cabinet. I also need to figure-out a good way to integrate the foot pedal, although I may just have it sit on the floor. I look forward to seeing your sub-panel, and great work on the cabinet!
