Jan 24: Mame panel
In addition to my MythTV box, I've always wanted to build a Mame box. Mame is an arcade machine emulator that you can use to play all the old arcade games (like my personal favorite, Rolling Thunder). A bunch of people build arcade style cabinets to house them, complete with authentic controls.
But for me, space is a huge problem. I live in a townhouse and have a couple hobbies that already take up a lot of space (computers and photography), not to mention Cyndi and 3 kids. So, a full-size Mame cabinet is out of the question right now.
Then, today, I found this:
Mame Panel (via)
It's basically an entire Mame computer, complete with real arcade joysticks and buttons, but in a little box that can be tucked away when not in use. Now that I've seen it, it's so obvious it's killing me.
One photo is below. Click the link above for more, including some showing the inside and the wiring.
