Links

     There have been many people that have helped me. I would like to thank all of you. Here is a list of links that will help you get going. If you decide you want to build one of these, you won't regret it.

 

First and most helpful in the building process.

B.Y.O.A.C. - Build Your Own Arcade Controls

     What can I say about B.Y.O.A.C.? It is the best site for info and help with building arcade controls and cabinets.

The Official M.A.M.E. Site

     If it wasn't for M.A.M.E. I wouldn't have very much fun with my arcade cabinet. A huge thanks goes out to the M.A.M.E. team for all their hard work. Thanks guys.

MAME.DK

     If you need roms, try here. It is sometimes slow but better than nothing.

Happs Controls

    This is a good place to order joysticks and buttons. You can get many other arcade related items here also.

Ultimarc.com

     Go here to get the awesome I-PAC. I think it is the only way to go. They are cheap and they work great. Plus, Andy is a fantastic owner. He really goes out of his way to help you. Thanks Andy!

Betson.com

     You can get PS/2 trackballs here. Here are a few numbers to help your search. Just click on parts and enter the part number in the search field on the top left side of the page.

This is just a small part of what they carry. I have them here because it is sometimes hard to find items on their site. If you need other things from them, Good luck.
