Hey Everyone,
I've referenced this forum a number of times as I was recently building my own cabinet, which is just MAME and Retroarch (for consoles) right now driven by a PC. I am happy with the end result, but there's definitely some rough spots as I'm not exactly an excellent carpenter, but it does the job of letting me enjoy many games I played as a kid and not just sitting at a boring desk/computer. That setup runs a 43" LCD but now I am starting to plan a setup that'll use a CRT. I recently got the itch to put together a Naomi system. Part of the motivation is that the Dreamcast is possibly my all time favorite console, so being able to play a selection of its games in the true arcade format with slightly better appearance seems awesome to me. Plus its an interesting challenge to figure this stuff out for the first time. One day it would be cool to own an Astro or Blast City, something about those cabs I really like the appearance of them.
Anyhow, looking forward to meeting folks here.
Take care,
Greg
