potnoodlefan Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hi all, I'm new to the site and am just saying hi! I've been looking forward to playing some old machines that remind me of back in the day! Kind regards, Potnoodlefan 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potnoodlefan Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 A few years ago I made a MAME cabinet / coffee table for my brother and his wife as a xmas gift. I'll be moving soon to somewhere with my own garage and its got me thinking that a wall mounted, touchscreen unit would be nice. Plus, with a little effort, I could make it work as a MFME cab too. I've seen a couple of builds online and its had my brain whirring away... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davep180 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Go for it mate. They can be a pain in the arse sometimes when setting it up, but it’ll be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potnoodlefan Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Cheers Dave. I remember having teething issues getting the MAME cab to work smoothly (and it never did, 100%). I'm still new to MFME, so have a lot to learn but hopefully it'll turn into something. I've had a wee look but can't find anything in the forums on a builds section, to see what others have created. I'm probably being daft, but does anybody have a link please? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Hi @potnoodlefan - welcome to the island! An excellent build thread was done by Wibblewobble which shows a cabinet build in detail... Wibblewobbles thread here --> No1Stoney has made 2 cabinets, can only find the 1 build thread tho... --> Also 123 has this thread that has lots of info in it too... --> That should be a good start anyway... I want to make a cabinet too at some point. I've made a MFME Keyboard so far and it makes such a difference having flashing buttons. All the best, Gary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its impressive what a good finish a bit of effort of a time can achieve. Once I've got past the nostalgic bit of actually playing the machines I'll hopefully get round to coming up with some ideas... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
