On these pages is where you can read about my ongoing adventures with the MAME project. It started off as a simple table based, sit down arcade controls panel, christened the
“Uber Panel” by my buddy Mark Schneider. After a few months testing the hardware and playing lots of MAME games, I went for broke. I bought a very nice TAITO Space Gun standup machine with the intention of MAME’ing
it. Space Gun has a large flat control panel for its two vibrating gun controls. This is just great for a MAME control panel because of its large size. The “UBER MAME” cabinet is now about 95% finished. It currently
has the “UBER Panel” mounted on it, and I just need to build the final swappable CP’s to make it complete. I’m planning on building 4 different panels, the main panel will have most of the “UBER Panel” controls,
minus the spinner. Then their will be a Tron joystick and spinner panel, an AKARI Warriors joystick panel, and a steering wheel panel. What make this really neat is that I have not harmed the original Space Gun game
in the MAME’ing process. It takes about half and hour to put the Space Gun back into arcade working order for a night of gaming. Follow the links to read the stories. . .
