-====== VHS MAME Cabinet ======
-**Description**
-In case you haven't noticed, there's a full sized four player arcade game in the corner at the hackspace.  The idea is to convert this into a four player MAME system.  The cabinet is

-The current build idea is to use the XBOX that's in the space and already has MAME installed.  Failing this, we will round up a desktop to use.
-Please modify as you see fit.  I know at least one of you (was it Dallas?) has built a MAME system before.
-**Next Steps**
-  - Test to see if XBOX works
-  - Research XBOX to Arcade interface options
-  - Research MAME frontend
-  - Think of clever name for project
-**Parts List**
-  - Additional buttons
-  - system to run MAME
-  - hardware to interface between cabinet controls and system.  This [[http://www.ultimarc.com/jpac.html|Ultimarc J-Pac]] sounds pretty cool.
-  - hardware to interface between cabinet display and system
-  - killer graphics (vinyl?)
-  - new plexi that would allow for better layout of controls
-  - coat of paint ??
-  - articulating beer holders ??
-**Enhancements**
-Some of the ideas that have come up are:
-  * Add three additional buttons to the two middle players (Player 2 and 3) so we can get some sweet Street Fighter action going on.
-  * Add the ability to use four wireless controllers
-  * Add a projector in the top marquee area
-  * Some sort of haptic feedback ??
-  * Audio out to 5.1
