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.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
