Portable arcade cabinets and multi-cade cabinets built from scratch, completely by hand, using original designs, from the ground up.
These cabinets are commonly referred to as "MAME"s- Multiple Arcade Machine Emulators or "Multi-cades"; capable of emulating various consoles and arcade cabinets with their respective games.
I started doing this because, well, I wanted one for my personal entertainment. I needed to play any and all of the retro games I grew up with.
So I built one. A very ugly one. Now-a-days I build better ones.
In 2008 I had this idea; build a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. Simply put- an arcade cabinet.
I was 20-something, in college and knew It had to be done. So with a less than stellar college-like-budget and some perseverance, MAME Cabinet#1 emerged.
Built from scratch with a $3.00 garage sale computer, $40 in plywood, a donated CRT monitor, and some stuff from my Dad's garage, I designed the ugliest, heaviest retro game abomination ever to see this world. It was amazing.
From that day forward I've been building these shrines to better days of arcades.
Got a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I'm more of a mechatronic engineer now-a-days. I love video games and their respective hardware. I grew up gaming on a PC (MSDos - Windows XP). Favorite console is the PS1.
I am employed full-time and run this web business on the side.
