Anyone here besides myself playing FoF on a MAME cabinet? I bought the 360 Guitar Hero controller and playing it on an arcade machine gives it a better feel to me. Maybe I'll try to use the guitar as a controller for Mortal Kombat LOL! Anyways just curious.

You set up a cabinet just for FoF? MAD PROPS!
I have a dream of making the ultimate arcade/LAN center, and in it would be an FoF machine similar to DDR with lights and speakers and crap.

I didn't build a cabinet with the sole purpose of playing FoF. It's just the latest addition to the cabinet. I've got roughly 3,000 arcade games on it, a very small handful of PC games, and a few laser disk light gun shooting games.

My brother keeps going on about making a MAME cabinet. If he ever gets round to it, I'll be sure to make him add FoF in there. Great idea.
Its just like life. Quite interesting in parts, but no substitute for the real thing.

MAME cabinets are great, and really cheap to make too. you just need an old pc, or a new one if you have it just lying about the place Lol
Some sheets of MDF or plywood and a few old joysticks that you are will ing to break apart.

BTW i havnt tried FoF on a Cabinet, YET, But i have tried playing it on a media center remote control, not the easiest thing in the world Lol

I may not have a MAME cabinet, but I have strobe lights, black lights, colored lights, and all that good stuff. And my computer's in my garage (I live in the garage, huge room :D ) where I have built a stage. What I had in mind is somehow getting my computer moniter to stay on the roof and have my computer and the wires all behind the stage so its like playing fof without sitting at a computer desk. Now I just need someone working the lights and a TV to play music videos. :D . I WIN!

I've been working on one; using a violence fight cabinet... someone had cut out most the wiring and the tube looked shot so I figured why not use it for a mame cabinet w/jukebox (80gigs of full albums) and have rhythmic games installed on it too. Frets will obviously be on there; I'll make something to hold an xplorer on the side or something..... then I need to raise up some drums so I could play while standing :;): toss on dtxmania or just use drummania arcade version.... then maybe audiosurf not that it's really a rhythmic game it's still music orientated and would be probably be fun playing it on a control panel and also ultrastar even though I hate it; my nieces would like it.

I'll probably add some more stuff to the cabinet later like a track ball that' I'll put somewhere and! a topgun light gun..... this thing is either going to look like the ugliest thing on the planet or the ultimate entertainment cabinet.... I'm thinking both.
