MAME Build!!! You can spend thousands on a pre-built arcade cabinet to play games... or just to the Internet Arcade and play 'em in your browser, but we're going DIY on this one, building our own cabinet. In this episode (it's gonna take more than one), we walk you through where to get the Mulitple Arcade Machine Emulator, what it does, whether we should put it in a stand up cabinet or a cocktail table. We walk through the MAME set up on a Windows PC, then put the EmuLoader frontend n it to make it easier to use, and why we'll be using something like Ultimac's I-PAC (instead of a straight keyboard encoder) so we can use buttons, joysticks, trackballs instead of the keyboard to play the games! And, of course, we talk ROMS, the actual bits of code that contain the games, whether they're legal, where you can get 'em, and how to load 'em into MAME... and the big pile of 'em up on Archive.org.
