Hi all, Figured seeing as though I signed up I should do the intro. Built my cab well over 10 years ago - well the shell, control panel, primed in beautiful white MDF primer, all the wiring, buttons, joysticks, PC and 68cm fat back tv and that's how it remained up until recently. Not sure why but decided 10 years was more than enough time for the primer to cure and give it a lick of top coat. So a few weeks ago I stripped it all down, pulled it into the carport, cut about 30cm off the back (originally needed the depth for the tv, but have swapped it for a flat panel), cut some holes for speakers and then painted it. Put it all back together and back into the bar. Next was to give it a nice FE as mameUI64 is only good for trying some games out, not really nice when people come over. Stumbled on GameEx and the limited time I've tried it's been really good. Anyway the cab is a 4-player beast, based around NBA Jam which was a big favourite of mine and does get a bit of playtime on the cab when friends are around. Ultimarc 64 does the buttons and joysticks, connected to a pc sitting in the bottom of the cab. Audio is four 6x9" 3-way speakers powered by Sony Xplod amp (which is turned way down). Still in the process of setting up GameEx to work how I want it - there's a lot of options to play with so going to try some of them out. I do have to sort out the control panel image which get's displayed as I don't have my buttons set up that way. Anyway I've been out of this game for a while, and just easing back in so please go easy on me if I ask a stupid question. Cheers -cdbrown

OK, I know some of you like free. Get Oddworld Abe's Oddysee free from GoG.com for the next 48 hours (actually 37 hours as of the time of this post).

It's a shame as the tables r descent but with lack of cab support makes it a downer for me. I can't even get back glass on a separate screen so having 2 black screens while playing doesnt really do it for me.
