I built myself a full sized arcade cabinet replica with 21" monitor and authentic 2 person arcade controls (even the little men buttons for 1/2 player!) for MAME...

And in the process managed to get hold of:

- All mame roms as of 6/2003 (v0.71)

- Every Sega Megadrive rom!

- 100 or so Sega Master System games

- 50 or so Nintendo 64 games

- Every Super Nintendo (SNES) rom!

- Every Nintendo Gameboy Advance game as of 6/2003

- Handful of Nintendo (NES) roms

- More than 1 Gb of C64 & Amiga roms

Something like 20Gb for everything from memory.

Anyone interested in setting up there own machine or wants a huge number of ROMs, I might be able to help out. Of course you'll have to show me your original 5000+ game cartridges first :)

project MAME was something like that........................a huge group of mame fans decided not to put roms on the net, instead, if you want roms you have to send a blank CD to some place where they'll burn them on for you free of charge (as not to infringe copyright)

a pain in the arse if you just want to download a select few...............

good achivement jnr_j!

do you mind sharing links with us all?

Yep, that's how I got my full set of MAME roms, I just sent this guy 3 blank DVDs and he gave me the full set. Here is the site:

http://www.freemameroms.com/

There don't seem to be any Australian people anymore though, when you click Australia they just list a dude who's willing to ship internationally to Australia. When I looked a year ago there were a few in Australia, including one in Canberra where I am!

For anyone willing to shell out a bunch of cash, try http://allmyroms.com

I got all the other roms of a friend, who'd spent many many many hours downloading them all from various places, I have no idea where they actually came from.

I'm happy to help out anyone who does want a set, if you can arrange to send me a few dollars to cover postage and blank disks (or send me everything reply paid) I'll burn them onto a few DVDs for you. (It may take a few weeks however)

Just pm me.

John

Started building one Saturday, had it finished for the next Saturday (working during the week 9-5). If you know what has to be done it's not that hard, plus I'd planned it all in Pro-Engineer (solid modelling program) so I knew exactly what size to make everything, and designed the thing around the monitor once I'd bought that a few weeks earlier. One thing I didn't give enough thought was getting it inside the house - had only 1cm clearance on either side getting through the front door!

I plan to build another one at some stage which is also a coffee table, maybe with a nice 17" TFT sitting flush under a glass top. The old one is way too huge to have sitting around where I live now.

Heaps of examples of cabinets people have built here: http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade.htm

nice.  do u have old school signs on it?

yeah.  might go play duck hunt some time.  thanks fro daddy, i love that old game, but i dont have time @ the moment.

I only ever got around to painting the whole thing black, but it does have a fluoro light at the top with a printed perspex cover saying MAME with all sorts of characters from various games.

As part of the collection of roms etc I also got hold of screenshots of title screens in game, as well as photos of the original arcade cabinets, marquees etc. Places like www.mameworld.net have heaps of links to that sort of stuff.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
