Given that it looks like they will come with a lot of the games I wanted to play on it, I'll probably just leave it as it is, rather than MAME it.
If it's a relatively simple thing to do, I wouldn't mind hooking a console up to it, but I already have a nice big CRT for my older consoles so it's not a must-do. Is it easy to do? And then would I be able to quickly and easily change between playing from the arcade board or the console? Or is it a big rewiring job?
subzero187, my initial plan was to buy an old machine like you have, but considering the price of them, I quite like the security of these ones with a warranty etc. I'm not 100% set on the idea yet, there is still that internal debate about buying an old one, similar to how I prefer to play original consoles rather than emulators or clones. I'm just also wary of the fact that I have a hard enough time funding my console game collecting, without then adding arcade boards as well!
