AGGIEZ Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Since we're on the topic of MAME machines, here's mine. It cost me about $300 to put together and is well worth every penny. I have hundreds of great classics on it, and it looks great on display. Its an old picture, and I've fixed it up alittle more since then. I'd recommend to anyone looking to get an arcade machine to consider making one of these. All you need is an old, empty cabinet, a tube TV, a decent desktop computer and a couple of other small things. Its a great, fun project. Now show us the rest of the room!

lemonman5 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Lemon - that's awesome. Would anyone like to create a 'recipe' for the perfect MAME machine? Do you mean hardware or software? Software is easy since its all available online. Hardware just depends on what the person wants to spend, but I can post all the hardware needed if that's what you need.

ComicDoc Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I only want/need wife 1.0 Be aware, this is NOT an upgrade from girlfriend 9.0. Wife 1.0 is an Operating System, not an application. You have been warned. (NOT RESPONDING) :preach:Yup and like and operating system watch out for crashes (PMS, pregnancy, menopause etc.) and don't forget the patches (jewelry, cars, clothes) and the security upgrades (forgiveness) but in the end the all the work, attention and time given to maintaining the system will pay off in hugh dividends as the original will always be better than some new fangled glitzy alternative! (NOT RESPONDING) This is also a very very necessary talent to keeping the operating system functioning well; followed up by chocolates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
