is it just a PC/Mame machine? My dream is a setting up a Naomi machine.

The sticks are a bit high for my liking, i suffer from Nintendoitis would get sore wrists from that height, bieng a short arse doesnt help me either.

Yeh its enough. Im a short ass to mate is a pretty decent height just comfortable enough. Got to think of other people that use it to haha. I want to build a proper machine but I thought I would start off with a basic mame machine first see how it goes then go from there.

Well done mate, you'll have a ball!

I love my arcade machines, my family used to own a
Timezone in NSW when I was a youngster and used to
have New Zealand story and Komba tribes in my room
at home.

So now I've just moved into my new house it's time to
relive my childhood and I'm buying a 29" Jamma arcade
machine with 1066 classic games included for around
$1000 which is value for money.

Can't bloody wait!!!

i've often fantansised about building a 720 skating console using the mame but the dam swivel joystick is too much engineering to get my head around

Nice work Danny. Been thinking about a MAME based machine for a while myself.

Great build.
Ive purchased one for my wife about 4 years ago and only two weeks ago got a Jamma 60 in 1 Board from ebay for $150. Lots of the old classics.
