Build Your Own Arcade Cabinet

 

This page is dedicated to my personal arcade cabinet that I built myself from scratch. It is capable of running thousands of games thanks to the development of emulators such as MAME, ZSNES, Gens and many others.

 

I chose to use MAMEWAH as my frontend software of choice but there are many others to choose from, all offering their own unique style and interface.

 

Hopefully this web page can serve as a starting guide for those of you who are hoping to build an arcade cabinet of your own. For further information you can check out the BYOAC web site and become part of the DIY arcade cabinet community.
