Minimig and Mame
« on: October 25, 2007, 12:46:07 AM »
My bare board arrived from Xenepp in the UK, so I posted a couple of pictures to the gallery. For those who thought I might be kidding when I mentioned making a Mame arcade cabinet my Minimig custom case in an earlier thread, I've taken the pictures of Minimig lying on top of the 4 player Mame control panel I finished this past weekend to show I wasn't kidding :-). I still have to build the upright cabinet. Not sure how long it will take me to finish both projects though, free time is short these days.

Of course it's a Mame cabinet, with a AMD mother board at it's heart. But now it can also have a Minimig installed that can share the control panel inputs and the display. I could have UAE on the AMD, but having the Minimig as the Amiga source would just be "cooler". When I put this design together, I planned it to also house a PS2 and Dreamcast using the Mame controls. Now that the project has been delayed a couple of years, I may change that up a bit. As time goes by all the internals can be changed run off what ever the next cool thing is.

As ajlwalker mentions, big cabinet, lots of space for lots of interfaces tied to many sources.
