MAME Cocktail Arcade, documented

After two weeks of non-stop tweaking, I think my MAME Cocktail arcade is finally complete. I created a MAME cocktail project page documenting everything I've done so far with lots of pictures and links to the products I used, and the rationales behind the choices I made.

Most of the comments there apply to MAME cabinets of all types, so if you have any interest in classic arcade gaming at all (or perhaps, like my coworkers, you're obsessed with Golden Tee), it's worth reading.

I wonder if some of this:

Would help with the glare?

Hey Atwood - NICE!! :) I know you have talked about making one of these a long time ago. I'm glad to see your dreams come to fruition!

Thanks! You should visit, so we can get our arcade on. It's two player for a reason!

Howzit, does anyone know if it is possible to code/customize your own roms?
