: I have started building a cabinet, and I will most likely use Linux and XMame, mainly because I can fix things when they go wrong in Linux, but my record with DOS and Windows it much more shakey. I will say that I will be very tempted to try out the arcade@home frontend under DOS though. It looks very nice. I plan on controlling it with a keyboard interface for now. The USB stuff sounds like it might be interesting in the future.
: Right now I am waiting for the weather to warm back up (and to get some free time) so that I can start putting together and finishing the cabinet.
I think that's the route I'm also going to go... I'm thinking a KE72-T would serve me nicely, as I can also use the trackball. I might run Mame32 on it until I learn enough to write a nice svgalib (or even text) mame front end. I'm just trying to sort out some details right now then I'll start in on the electronics of it all.
