The MAME Cabinet

The completed MAM cabinet with glowing hardware.

I found out that a friend of mine and his buddy just completed their MAME cabinet project. The cabinet utilizes a PC (specs unknown,) Windows XP as the host operating, with GameEx, Mame 0.123, MESS, and nullDC as the emulation software.

I’m really digging the glowing trackball and buttons, and the multitude of different classic platforms that it supports. It looks like the construction took a painfully long while, and I’m not sure if the construction of this thing justifies throwing down $1600, but the end result was certainly and authentic retro style arcade machine.

Those looking to get some ideas for building their own MAME emulator cabinet, or to simply get a fix of nostalgia can head over to their construction blog.
