Did you know this is my second arcade project? The first can be found here - with it's own original site (most info is rather dated by now, though...). I made that one for a friend of mine.

For the software end, I'm using windows command line MAME and some of SirPoonga's great hacks. For the front end I used to use Game Launcher, but now I've switched to Dragon King by Howard Casto. Talk about yer great frontends, this thing is easy to setup and has some great skinning features. I even made my own skin to match the colors of my cab -see a screenshot of mine. I still have some tweaking to do, but I think I have it down.
