Mameage
Well with the introduction of my Dell 24in to the system it has left me with a spare 22in. Now what to do with it I hear you say? Well it seems that I now have enough left over bits to build a dedicated Mame box. But that would mean actually getting off my ass and building the controller finally.
So that’s what I “started” to do.
I’ve had most all the stuff to do it for some time, buttons, joysticks, old panel, even the ipac controller. Matter of fact everything I needed. So on the weekend I decided to sit down and finally put the thing together. So after a hour or so, with a little cutting and trimming a bit of soldering and a whole lot of wire stripping I had me a complete and operational arcade stick. There is still a fair bit of work to do but its functional and that’s what matters most at this stage.
So naturally the sensible thing to do is connect it to my PC swivel the Dell and get it working so that’s what I did.

So now I'm spending my time playing around with front ends to make it a little more user friendly with the joysticks. Still trying to settle on one but I think it will be MALA because its just cool. Its realy just going to depend on how my machine will handle the videos once its together.
