    Default my new mame - pin cab

    after reading a post about addictive games etc it bought
    back memories of the good old games so i decided to
    build a mame cab.

    while thinking about it i decided to make it a pinball
    setup as well and started playing with vision pinball
    and hyperspin for the mame .

    So started with a 32' lcd for the main screen and a 19' for the back-glass
    screen for the pinball that is designed to drop down when not playing pinball

    Then on the inside i have a dualcore 3ghz cpu with 4gig ram and twin
    1tb drives and a gtx610 video card .

    hooked up to that is the basic usb encoder with 8 buttons per player plus joystick for mame
    plus the 3 main buttons for the pinball and extra buttons for mame admin.

    this is the final result just needs a final polish

    Thanks i had to design it myself due to the size of the screen i was
    going to use but also the fact i was also going to have pinball
    on it i had to make sure it was at a comfortable height and width.
    dont say linux if i wanted it id install it

    cool,
    so what controllers do you use for the pinball and the games etc
    My mame uses a standard controller connected to the pc keyboard port on the pc but dont thin it has the ability to run the dual screen and pinball bits

    i am using a usb keyboard encoder and when running pinball
    i run joy2key. As for the pinball using a second monitor that
    is nothing special because as long as you have a video card
    that has dual output the software does all the work
    dont say linux if i wanted it id install it

    Quick question...how are you getting power to it?

    I have a kit I bought from wwf and what I was hoping to do was have an inlet such as the one in the image to connect power to rather than having a cable hanging out the side.

    Is this how the majority are doing it or do they have some other option?

    Would welcome any feedback.

    Cheers
