Title: MAME CAB COMPLETE
Post by: EDD on January 21, 2015, 11:27:11 pm
It was on its way to the dump but i decided to save it and make it into a MAME cab. I didn't want to spend to much time on it but i did  :-\

Nice job! Was going to bash on the XArcade stick, but aside from probably being pretty flimsy or broken easily (or so I've heard), you mounted it very very nicely. :)

Enjoy it all, man! Cool build of it.

Thanks man. Xarcade cp is actually built well but the joysticks suck I didn't want to spend too much time making a custom CP.
