Here’s a couple shots of the inside. It’s a Delhi III motherboard from eMachines, which has an ATI Rage 3D chip for a video processor. It’s running DOS, ArcadeOS as a frontend and a custom compiled Mame .96 to remove a couple of the warnings (like Galaga’s “not quite right” […]

I swiped the 486 out a while ago for an eMachines Delhi III board. It has a 500MHz chip, that I can unfortunately only get up to 450 MHz. 200MB drive with ArcadeOS and Mame .98. Galaga doesn’t run full framerate (59/60 FPS) but with a frameskip of 1, it’s […]

I’ve wanted a Pac-Man style cabinet for some time, so when Gary from Boston offered one up on RGVAC for $75, I jumped, since it came with a monitor. It did came with this control panel, but without the joystick or a PCB. The idea was to have vertical games […]
