I've heard the nay-sayers tell people 256 megs is not enough ram but I tell you people, it just works for my system.
Mame emulator cabinet upgrade#
since it uses ram bus memory I have elected to not upgrade it as ram bus is way too expensive (couple hundred bucks) for my taste. The only problem with it is that it only has 256 megs of ram.

I scored a 2 gig P-4 Dell that had hardly seen the end of its lifespan. My answer was yes I would take it for him for recycling. The computer was given to me by a guy who was upgrading to the latest and greatest Dell and he asked me if I knew where to send his old computer for recycling. I was lucky when it came to selecting a computer since I'm one of those IT guys and have had the opportunity to use a lot of stuff people have given me over the years. I framed some shelves and made storage cabinets (doors on left of picture) for all of her scrap booking stuff and she couldn't be happier. The cabinet now sits in the closet of our office. I actually had to bring it in one day while she was gone. I convinced my wife how nice it looks in the house. The hardest thing I have left to do on Arcade Classics is to convince my wife to let me bring it into the house. This would be the first place I would start in my quest for information about building a MAME cabinet. They have tons of links to websites featuring cabinets that others have built. I would have to say the best site to go to for cabinet building information is BYOAC (build your own arcade controls). See links section for more graphics links). (Since the time of this writing, Classic Arcade Grafix no longer sells arcade art. The Graphics for the marquee and control panel were purchased from Classic Arcade Grafix. The spinner is a hack from a hard drive that I read about on Arcade Stupidity which works great and was very easy and fun to make. The joysticks are Ultimarc 4/8 ways that I won on E-bay for $25. A lot of the control panel hardware was bought from Tornado Terry's such as 100% Happ buttons with cherry micro switches and a 3" blue translucent trackball. The cabinet itself is mostly based on plans from Arcade Paradise (archive link) with a few modifications along the way, such as the addition of a keyboard/Playstation 2 drawer, smoked glass, and other minor things that you would modify on the control panel to get your own personal set-up. If you are looking for a front-end that is easy to implement and has a great support community, look no further that GameEx. The support for GameEx is incredible with new releases and new features coming out almost every week. as well as being an entertainment center for music, DVDs on hard disk, karaoke, web radio, slideshow player and the list goes on and on.

The Arcade Classics cabinet runs the very excellent front-end GameEx, which controls all emulators such as MAME, Dahne, P64, JNES, GENS, Model 2, Zinc, Pin-MAME, ZNES, dos-box pc games etc. After several months of researching and playing around with different emulators and front-ends I finally started building Arcade Classics in January and it is now as you see it, complete, minus side graphics and light guns. My advice for anyone wanting to section hike the Wonderland TrailĪrcade Classics became a reality this year (2006) due to much convincing of my wife that the family and I needed it.
