@ HQM0NSTERB0Y (when you get back)
I made sure we have Wonderboy (original) and wonder monsterland.. woot. so who's coming over for a game i wonder..?
Here is a video of what i would like to have in the end with the mame software. At the moment im running another configuration but we will soon see how difficult it is i guess. another 12 months probably lol
Okay so did you make that new machine or did you have someone make it for you? Regardless of what the answer is that is one sweet machine! Brings back alot of memories for me! _________________________________________________________

I was going to make my own, but it was much easier to get one custom made.. Normally the cocktail cabinets have the controls on either end, opposite each other but i went for the dual control in the center and a larger 26" LCD screen so i could also play the two player style games like mortal kombat, street fighter etc etc.
So how does it work, does it have a bunch of games built in on a hard drive? how do you add games and the such.

Well its a full arcade machine so it supports JAMMA arcade boards.
I have purchases a customized mame type motherboard which has a JAMMA connection too, basically it has whatever you want on it and a main menu to sort through the games.
Not sure how legal it is, but then again if i built my own mame cabinet it would have been no different. _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:
