i started this awesome project in october 2003 (yes it
has taken me this long!) and completed construction on february
1 2004. i have had the idea in my head for allot longer and
have been planning it for some time now.
my goal was to recreate the neo-geo cabinet for my own home
use, yes, i know, a great idea. of course it could not be
exactly like a neo-geo cab, because it would be homemade to
my personal equipment, not using a standard arcade monitor,
which really dictated the width of the cabinet. i have a 27"
rca in it, so the inside dimension of the cab is 25.5"
while the real deal is 24". the profile of the cabinet
was taken more or less from a 4-slot neo-geo cab found at
a local pizza place.
i will run capcom as well as snk games (hence the logo's
you will see later). so it is mainly a fighter game emulator,
altho i do have some other ones. i am running winkawaks, as
it is the best emulator for me and the roms i want to play.
i do not like mame, and i did not want to plaster my nice
cab with mame logo's. don't email me about hating mame. i
like the idea of it and winkawaks has benefited from its creation,
but in my opinion, the name sucks and i hate how the prog
runs.
i also did not want to run a front end, because i also use my mini
computer for traveling dvd's for the kiddies, so i did not
want to mess with bat files, multi os's and crap like that.
i also did not want to take the to set up a front end, i'm lazy i guess.
so there you have it. go browse around now and email me if
you have any questions, or suggestions. but i probably wont
implement them because i am done. :)
or you can go straight to the pics. shots,
baby!
yea!
cheers, orntar.
