Why don't you distribute ROM files with your cabinets?
The license for MAME specifically states "Distribution of MAME on the same physical medium as illegal copies of ROM images is strictly forbidden. You are not allowed to distribute MAME in any form if you sell, advertise, or publicize illegal CD-ROMs or other media containing ROM images. This restriction applies even if you don't make money, directly or indirectly, from those activities. You are allowed to make ROMs and MAME available for download on the same website, but only if you warn users about the ROMs's copyright status, and make it clear that users must not download ROMs unless they are legally entitled to do so." Also I am not legally authorized to distribute the ROM images so I of course DO NOT.
You can send cd's to a burner consult http://www.freemameroms.com/ or get them
off the newsgroups. alt.binaries.mame alt.binaries.emulation both have regular
rom sets uploaded to them. I don't provide support on how to use newsgroups
so please don't ask.
Or you can consult the offical MAME faq for more information.
Ok I have rom files now what do I do with them?

Why do you charge for packing? How much is it again?
I charge for packing because I want the products to arrive in good condition and the only way I can ensure that they do arrive with the most protection possible is to purchase quality boxes for the kits and to custom wrap and protect the assembled cabinets. This takes a lot of physical labor, quite a bit of time and of course money to buy the materials. Since some people would like to pick up their cabinet, I can't fairly roll the cost of packing into the product price. Kits are $75.00 for packing, assembled cabinets are $125.00 for packing and strapping to a pallete for shipping or $200 for building a wooden crate.
How much is shipping for an assembled cabinet?
Aproximately $250.00, there may be additional charges depending on:
I include shipping insurance on ALL shipments to cover any damages that may occur during the shipping process.
How much is shipping for a cabinet kit?
Aproximately $135.00, there may be additional charges depending on:
I include shipping insurance on ALL shipments to cover any damages that may occur during the shipping process.
Can I use a credit card to purchase your products?
Sure I accept payments via online payment services such as PAYPAL and C2it. For more information click here.
Can I get <custom item>added to your control panel design?
I only offer the designs listed on the web site. You are welcome to modify them at your leasure when you take posssesion. I offer blank control panels without pre-cut holes for your custom designs.
Why should I buy your cabinets when I found one on Ebay for $XXX? Isn't it the same thing
No it is not the same thing. What you find on Ebay for $800 is not anything close to my cabinets. I only use all new parts, new computer-aided-design and computerized routed cabinets and all of my displays are VGA resolution or better. What you find for that price on Ebay are usually used junker cabinets that someone has converted to MAME. Standard resolution (CGA) monitors converted for use with MAME and substandard computers utilizing non-intel processors which may have incompatibilities with Windows, MAME and any other applications you may run. My designs have better control panel layouts (in my opinion) and they offer more for your dollar than you get from buying that junk. Frankly I'd much rather have a new system than something that's jury-rigged together.
Can I get just the cabinet and add my own equipment to it?
Yes I sell bare-bones cabinets and kits. Check out http://www.arcadeshopper.com/mame for more information.
Will your cabinets fit the monitor I have here?
Sure if the monitor is 27" or smaller and your putting it in my 27" cabinet. If you are putting a monitor into the 19" cabinet, 19" is the maximum that will fit easily.
My cabinets are designed to fit a 27" "Universal Mount" arcade monitor by default.
With some work you may be able to jury-rig most any monitor to fit. However, you are on your own.
I have had customers ask if production television sets would fit, and frankly I have no way to test everything out there.
A good rule of thumb is that the 27" cabinet box is 27" wide inside, and that's your limit. Measure first!
Can I buy parts from you to assemble myself
Of course, I'm happy to sell you any componant seperately. Email me with your request and I'll respond with prices.
Can I use your MAME cabinet for my Xbox, Playstation 2, Dreamcast, etc? or it it just for computer hookup
You can purchase the X-arcade option which has adaptors for these system's and MORE for more information consult this page:
What exactly do you put in your computers
Quality built computer by professional network/computer engineer designed for MAME compatibility with minimum:
What other games can I run on your cabinets?
You can load whatever you want in my cabinets. Since this is a Windows based PC it will run all the popular games avaialable (depending on the video card requirements of course) and any emulation software out there including Daphne for laserdisc emulation and console/computer emulation as well (MESS AND OTHERS) consult emulation based websites for more information on available emulators, my cabinets are compatible with them all.
The trackball and spinner controls act as the windows mouse inputs. The joystick and button controls are keyboard based inputs as far as the computer is concerned. This should work fine with any program out there that supports using a keyboard and mouse as a controller.
What kind of warranty is included with your cabinets?
The wood cabinet is covered by this unconditional guarrantee. If you break part of the cabinet after it has arrived in good condition I'm happy to sell you a new part to replace the wood part that you broke unconditionally. I provide insurance during the shipping process to cover any damage done by shipping companies
The electronic componants are all covered by their manufacturer's warranties. For instance the Wells Gardner CRT is warrantied for a period of one year from the date of purchase. I'm happy to help with any warranty repairs with phone support or at my repair depot for the first year without additional charge.
