THE ARCADE CABINET PROJECT (finished and sold):

   - 4-Player MAME Machine

 SPECIFICATIONS:

* Removable 4-Player Control Consol/Deck - Fully customizable button configurations; T-molding edging; By designing the control deck as a removable component, not only does it make it easier to move it to a different room, but you also have the option of taking it with you! What I mean is, your programmed settings are saved inside the deck itself, and doesn’t need any power to hold it’s memory! Plug it into a USB port on a PC, your buddy’s X-box®, or PSX® (with adapter cable) and your off! Two large retaining bolts that screw into steel brackets on cabinet, and has four steel brackets that “hang” from dedicated slot for easy removal while bolting/unbolting; custom surface graphics; Interface can also replaces keyboard and mouse… all selections can be made using control sticks and buttons so you won’t have to bother with those contraptions!

* I-PAC 4® Controller Interface Board - 56 inputs each with it's own dedicated microprocessor pin. Each input is interrupt-driven for NO interaction or delays, vital for multi-button games such as fighting games; supports "Shift" function and multiple programmable macros; X-Box® and PSX® compatible; no ghost keys! Keyboard pass-through (allows simultaneous use of controls and keyboard)

I had a basic PIII and a couple of hard drives under the hood loaded with all the goodies before I sold it. After a year of playing on it, I had yet to play every game!
