Im not new to this hobby. Just wanted to say Hi. I have been in this hobby for over 18 years and built my first cabinet with a Pentium 2 233 Smiley
I still have that cabinet but its been highly updated!
I have a vertical cabinet and horizontal cabinet and virtual pinball cabinet, touchscreen bartop, and lastly a full size sitdown driving cabinet!
 im working on updating my website. I found this site and this looks to be a good place to get some answers. so HELLO!

All my projects are always all works in progress and there is always "lets put a bigger monitor" "lets put more hardware like soleinoids and flashing lights" "lets upgrade the computer that's in this machine"

endless....

Hello. all my cabs vertical and horizontal are mame.
My driving is a dedicated xbox and my pinball is virtual pinball.
thanks for asking.

I don't have enough space unfortunately to dedicate to real cabinets.
Plus my attention span is very low.

I found that when presented with a million games to play on the mame cab i get bored super quick. With the dedicated cabs since you are stuck with them you play them more. I love mame for what it is but I would be perfectly fine without it in my collection.

I have quite a few dedicated cabs but recently have had the desire to build a MAME machine. Even If you have a 100 machines there are still 100's more you don't have room for!

Dude, this is 100% true! I have said this before, too! Less choices is actually better!

Indeed! I have a 60 in 1 in one machine, which I am just going to take out once I get my DK up and running, because I find myself only playing Original over the rest of the 59 games!
