Welcome to Jarabeck´s Rotating Cocktail Cabinet for
MAME
With one ideia, many memories in my head and MAME in my hands,
a project was born:
Jarabeck´s Rotating Cocktail Cabinet for MAME
Apparently simple but it dares any person who played those
fabulous arcade games from the past, trying to reflect the real
sensation of playing games on the real environment, such as
full rotated images on screen, die-hard joysticks and buttons
as hard as steel.
The Encounter
After meeting MAME emulator several weeks ago I was very impressed
with the fidelity and exactness of the emulation, and after
seeing many games that I played while a teenager I decided to
bring those memories permanently to my home building this arcade
console.
The Project
Trying to get the most of this project and not sacrifying the
beauty/design of a piece that will be shown inside my house,
I choose to build the "cocktail" version of the well
know "arcade machines". As my wife said, "I don´t
want this coffin in my living room!".
In some way, this easied the project since I didn´t have
to lead with huge amount of wood, dirty, small space, cutting/drilling
noise, etc (I live in an apartment)
