Hi, My friend has a MAME cabinette at home. It just basically a coffee table which has a PC in it. When you turn it on it boots directly to a menu which you can select one of several hundred games to play. The cabinette is like the old pub table - it great fun to play and a great feature in him home. One point to note is that his cabineete is just a PC running MAME with some preloaded game roms. I downloaded the same and more on my home PC. The only difference is that he has a nice nostalgic cabinette. He was told that he could upgrade it and download more ROM for it - but if he did the company that supplied would not give him any support etc - so he was on his own. I can try to find out where he got it from if you want? |

Hi, He got the machine from someone called Mr Coinops who's mobile is 07952 153651 I'll see if I can find his email... I don't think he has a web site (or at least I could not find it). Kevin. |
