Woo hoo! AD in Da House! Man, I've missed you guys (and gals?). Well, here's the big announcement:
Mamecab.com is a new site dedicated to the building of custom arcade cabinets complete with real arcade controls and components; and running real arcade games by using the arcade emulator Mame, Dreamcast, Playstation 1 and 2, and various other systems.
The site differs from BYOAC in that it focuses on easy to understand, printbale, "how-to tutorials" to simplify the task of building custom arcade machines, also known as “mamecabs.” Mamecab.com strongly focuses on the help of the community of "mamecab" builders to contribute their own how-to's to create an expansive database of information. I believe that it will help the hobby to grow even greater.
The site also contains message boards about mamecab building so that questions can be asked and answered by visitors to the site. I know some people prefer a different style message board than the one offered here and MameCab.com offers an alternative.
Mamecab.com will also be the future site of Arcade Command, my personal custom built mamecab.
The site is small so far, but the site will grow and be a large database of information for mamecab builders.
Look around and head over to the mamecab.com message boards and tell me what you think!
For those that don't know me, I use to be one of the most frequent posters on BYOAC. School (Ohio State) got kind of hectic so I took a break from everything with the plan of coming back with my own site that would also be the home to my project. Mamecab.com is what I came up with.
