My mega order of MAME bits showed up. I am converting an arcade cabinet to a multi machine that runs off of a computer and still uses the arcade monitor. It will be some time till it is done, but I am going to be busy working on it for hours and hours.

I got all the parts from Ultimarc

trackball
2 X mag stick +
arcade VGA card
J-PAC (I have a JAMMA cab)

I am currently building the PC and need to do a bunch of configuring. OS is loaded and being updated.

AMD socket 939 3400 single core
2GB RAM (4X512)
ECS KN1 Lite MB
10K 74GB Raptor HD
LG DVD burner

The arcade VGA card is a modified ATI card that puts out 15khz for an arcade monitor on the VGA output, A cable connects it to the J-PAC which hooks into my cab. The DVI output is normal and that is how I am configuring the PC. Will hook up to the cab soon.

A MAME does not have to be too powerful, but if I choose to emulate some recent games it might not work out well. I intend to stick to the classics though.
