CABINET
This was purchased as an empty JAMMA cabaret cabinet from www.arcadeheaven.co.uk/ .The cabinet itself makes a superb donor for MAME. Being a cabaret cabinet i.e. small means its fairly easy to move about and you don't have to keep it in the garage because you can't fit it through the front door! It has two joysticks with micro switch movements and nine action buttons plus two player buttons. At the front there is a coin slot which takes new 10p's, 20p's ,50p's and £1 coins and is controlled by a Mars Electronic credit board. The cabinet came complete including JAMMA loom and game PCB except for the monitor and is in outstanding condition (no scratches, dents or ciggie burns! ) I decided to keep all the original wiring in the cabinet in case I wanted to use it for JAMMA PCB's in the future. I also wanted to keep the cabinet original as possible and didn't want to make any unnecessary alternations. I like completeness.
I toyed with the idea of using an original arcade monitor, using Brian Lewis's excellent ArcadeOS front end to sync the graphic card to the correct frequency and resolution, but because I still wanted to use other emulators and win`doze` software I decided to use a standard SVGA PC monitor.
