My latest creation lives!!!

[Cassidy Nolen]

Hows this for sprucing up the dead?

 

Built a Star Wars MAME cabinet. Its the real cabinet, glass, yoke, you get the picture. Then I used a 19 inch SVGA monitor that already was made for mounting in an arcade, a Pentium 4 950mhz Celeron system, 64 megs ram, CDROM, floppy and a 2 Gig hard drive all mounted in the coin box. Power supply mounts on the back of the coin box. So far, the only things I had to modify from the original cabinet are the two pots in the controllers, and a few holes for the components on the metal coin bucket.

 

Now it plays SW, ESB and ROTJ FLAWLESSLY and uses a set of 40 Watt speakers for the sounds. This thing is more fun to play than my real SW! Neat project and glad it is done.

 

Anyone know how I install a front end so it boots into the emulator rather than me going to windows with a mouse and finding MAME 32?

Put a shortcut to MAME in your startup group.

You can do it one of two ways; as mitch said, and set MAME32 to allow joystick selection or you can change around your autoexe.bat so a DOS version of MAME runs straight off from start-up without even opening windows, thats how I do it with the cabinet I'm making at the moment.
