Hello and welcome to my arcade machine restoration project. I have an old Zaxxon game machine that I have updated to play thousands of games 90,000 games and counting, it runs MAME, PINMAME, and the older consoles game units like Nes, super nes, nes 64, and genisis.

I bought a few things off ebay for my cab this week should be here soon.. I bought 2 dance pads for my dance dance revolution software and two light guns.

People have been asking about the inside of the arcade cab. what does it look like what kind of computer I have and the size of the hard drive and so on,
so first I have 2 80 gig drives 527 megs of ram.
i have an i-pac for the keybopard encoder and waiting for the a-pac this will let me interface my JP rider to the cab. will post some pictures of the inside.

right now the computer is in a case and in the cab I’m thinking of taking the motherboard out and mounting it in side but I’m unsure.

I have also seen people use cat 5 cable to interface there controlls with the i-pac, doing it this way they can make there control panel swappable.

also I get allot of people asking me were did I get my roms,
well I wont give addresses. there are lot of places that are free, there are torrent sites and of course the way I went was buying online, allot of people get mad at that but i didn’t want to download chomd files and roms files it would take me months over 40 gigs of roms, so I bought the DVD’s its small price under 30 dollars and you get 10 DVDS full of roms.

I was happy with the person I bought my rom files from so i bought all the N64, Sega, nintendo and super Nintendo DVD’s from him too.

again I wont email people the sites do a Google search to find roms.
