Welcome to my documentation of my strange and wondrous
journey into the land of home arcades. The concept for this hobby was
born after discovering the M.A.M.E (TM) software engine. It was through
this inventive program that I saw it was possible for most if not all of
the arcade classics I enjoyed in my youth to be rediscovered. I became
immediately enthralled with the idea of playing "Punchout", "Donkey
Kong", "Star Castles", and all of the other great arcade games. I soon
found, however, that playing these games with a keyboard was not the
same as using the original joystick and buttons. This where BYOAC came
in. (Copyright BYOC) Through my research I found this web site where enthusiasts like me were
building actual arcade cabinets to play their games in. I knew
immediately that I had to do the same. Thus, the "Maimster Machine" was
born...or at least, the idea for it. This site details my goal to make
my own arcade masterpiece (well...my flawed version of one) and what
else is on the horizon. |
