Feedback [7]
[Ed] had a netbook he no lengthier required and decided to make it right into a mini MAME cabinet for some of his family members members. MAME cabinets are rather plentiful, but this a single was so nicely accomplished,
Win 7 Home Basic, we wanted to share it.
He eliminated the monitor from an EeePC 901 to be able to get some exact measurements, then went about crafting a mini cabinet from MDF. The whole point was wrapped in sticky label paper adorned with old-school Galaga graphics,
Windows 7 Home Basic, then coated in plexiglass to get a wonderful sleek appear that also safeguards the artwork.
He used an iPac 2 controller board to wire up each of the buttons and joystick towards the netbook,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Product Key, opting to solder the controller’s wires directly to the USB header on the eeePC’s motherboard. A power switch was added up on top for easy operation,
Microsoft 2007 Key, and the cabinet was sealed shut,
Buy Office Professional Plus 2007, though the back does open easily in the event that maintenance is required. The system is managed using the Maximus Arcade front end for MAME, which [Ed] claims is incredibly easy.
