This is our custom built arcade system. We built everything from the ground up... yes including the cabinet.
We were able to do it all for around $700 in part because of the deals on Craigslist.org

It plays the following systems all in one machine:
-Arcade Games (MAME)
-Super Nintendo (ZSNES)
-Nintendo (FCEUltra)
-Sega Genesis (Gens)
-Sega 32x (Gens)

DOWNLOADS:

• Download my emulator setup (No, there are no ROMs):
  • Arcade.zip - This contains my directory structure and settings for my arcade. Just extract, add your Roms, and run glaunch.
  • Source Code - Source code for Gens and Mame that I modified.
• Other
  • KeyScan.exe - This will give you a graphical display of what keys are being pressed
    
  • JoyToKey.exe - This awesome program will convert your joystick buttons to key presses on the keyboard.
    
  • Arcade.txt - These were just some notes I was taking when I was planning the arcade
    
  • DMAME.zip - The DOS version of MAME(v0.78) with the "Type OK" nags taken out. Thanks to Luiz Pacheco for compiling this one for me :)
  • Cabinet_Design_Rev7.pdf - These are the plans for our cabinet. They are the same plans from LuSiD's Arcade Flashback

Arcade.zip notes and instructions:

• Notes
  • I have a custom compiled version of MAME and Gens
  • MAME Changes (v0.78): I removed ALL nag screens. No more typing "OK" for games with problems, disclaimers, or other game info. Normally you can pass it the command line options of "-skip_disclaimer" & "-skip_gameinfo" to get rid of a few nags but there is no option to get rid of the nags about games with problems. The mame.exe included here solves that problem. The mame.exe is currently 17.8MB because I haven't UPX'd it yet. Thanks to the people who let me know about that. I'll update the zip file with the smaller exe a little later.
  • Gens Changes: I fixed a bug where games would not load from the command line. Changed the default keys. Working on making it automatically take screenshots like mame. Here are my notes: GensChanges.txt
• Instructions:
  • Unzip these folders into your C: drive. So the paths should read c:\glaunch & c:\Emulation
  • Place your ROMs in the "Roms" directory for each system (c:\Emulation\(system)\Roms)
  • Run mamescan.exe (c:\glaunch\mamescan.exe) if you have any mame games.
  • Run glaunch.exe (c:\glaunch\glaunch.exe)

Button/Key Layout:



This layout is the most compatible and easiest to remember. It works with all emulators and if you need to use the keyboard, it still makes sense.

Game Launcher Keys:
Up = Up Arrow
Down = Down Arrow
Page Up = Left Arrow
Page Down = Right Arrow
Play Game = N
Next Emulator = F5
Previous Emulator = F7
Quit = ESC
