So a Nintendo themed diy Viewlix styled MAME cab?

Ill stick with my Astro City, Nintendo Vs Tent, and arcade sticks.

I am thinking of diving in and doing a mame cab, but I want to do 4 player so Gauntlet and TMNT can be really enjoyed.

That was a tad too sophisticated for this poor European mind.
But yes, a cabinet with a Nintendo in it would be nice

Or even one with TEKKEN!

Im not following you.

Many people here own actual arcade cabinets:

If you want to build one, Build Your Own Arcade Cabinet, or BYOAC, is the best place to learn:

Building a MAME cabinet was one of the dumbest projects I've done. I spent $200 in parts building it then played it for a few days and never touched it again.

Many of these seem authentic.
Finding such a thing where I live is extremely difficult to extremely not-happening.

So for someone living in a small meaningless country, building your own would be the only option. Unless you're willing to fork out tons for shipment..

Where do you live?

Irony is on hold; please say Japan.

There's a guy on YouTube called slaughterhouselive or something who has some sort of sega cab with a 6 in 1 JAMMA switcher thingy, so he has a Mame board, Dreamcast, Saturn, MVS, STV and something else hooked up at the same time. A very cool idea if you ask me.

I'll definitely be getting some sort of candy when I move back to the UK. I'll probably Mame it up at first, then over time try and do something like that slaughter dude did.

RE the above cab., not my cup of tea. Sure the NES theme is cool, just kind of out of place on a cab. Also definitely not feeling the widescreen and non-CRT'ness.

I kinda dig those PC in an NES shell conversions, but then again isn't that why we have flashcarts?
