Super Arcade plans

So I've been pondering getting an arcade box to play games and perhaps maybe make some coinage if possible. However, even the used ones that I actually like cost like $300 plus to ship. New ones cost $1000s of dollars so that's just nuts.

Anyway, There is this dude that has a company that makes MAME boxes.

Dream Arcades His things are new and a whole lot cheaper than ebay.

Basically, a setup like table pac man with a computer inside that has a bunch of emulators to play game age. It costs a bit extra to have PC set up so I've been pondering just setting up my extra pc but figuring out the open source software to run the emulator is not coming easy to me.

I can't really afford to get one right now but it doesn't hurt to dream.

Also, the possibility exits to just grab a box and mod it. I need to figure out how to set up MAME on a PC and get the proper hardware.

There are videos, this for example... Mame setup video

A complete everything-you-want version of this can run $5000-$7000 I see them at this site, really nice!

Fancy Mame
