    I've seen many folk doing similar projects... and to run into one I just have to look into the mirror in the morning. I purchased a beat-up old Double Dragon box and began turning it into my own personal MAME box. I also began buying up boards in order to run the games I wanted legally, many times boards that were too damaged to actually run. I just sank $500 into a brand-new 19" monitor for my box, so I am thrilled seeing a similar project get the recognition. My hat goes off to you.

  3. Cocktail Table MAME box by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At the risk of slashdotting a friend, check this out. A hand-built MAME box crafted to look like a pac-man cocktail table. Has some real class, and a place to set your drinks. Made by the same guy who created the gameman of previous slashdot fame.

  4. left-handed second player?? by iamhassi · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Am I the only person that noticed that the second player joystick has the buttons on the wrong side? So if you want to play with another player, the second player must be left-handed.

    Is that why this is the "Ultimate" MAME Box?
