I bought an old NARC arcade cabinet that had already been converted to run MAME on eBay - I had about 4000 ROMs for it - when I got married and moved out we didn't have room (3 kids and 3 dogs!), so I donated it to my then housemate and best friend, he's since patched it up - we used to have marathon Streetfighter II sessions! I keep pestering my wife to let me get a new one, with no luck as of yet! Still got all the ROMs though. Robotron is among my all-time favourites - pure skill. Galaxian is probably my all-time fave. Great results and pics! Great stuff!

Which joysticks from Happs did you use? Very nice results and clear pictures, it doesnt look that hard to build homemade arcade controls.

Works directly as a mouse+mame layout keyboard, handles 18 button, 4 joysticks, a spinner and a trackball without any fuzz. I prefer the minipac from ultimarc.
