Title: Hello from Northern Ireland
Post by: bh1992 on May 15, 2014, 07:04:23 pm
Been watching Johns arcade since last summer and Have recently gotten into listening Arcade Outsiders.
This is my first forum ever so Im not sure how things go in the forums.

I'm currently in the works on building my own Mame bartop because I can't afford a real arcade machine, plus my parents would not be too happy either :)
But even if I did Northern Ireland might be the worst place to buy Arcade machines. Anyone from Northern Ireland who knows any good arcade places, let me know :)

sounds cool, the nice thing about mame is for the classics you can recycle old computer hardware that basically is useless, you don't need allot of power to run a box to do single joystick and a button control games...  ( pac man / mr do / tapper ) style

Yea at this point I want to play some vertical monitor games like pacman, timepilot, digdug etc. I'm currently going through some designs for the cabinet, then hopefully very soon get it cut out :)
