MAME Arcade

This is the first MAME Arcade control panel I built. I used a 3/4" sheet of Oak laminate, which, in retrospect, was a huge mistake. It likes to splinter when you drill holes in it. I know (now) that there’s some woodworking tricks like running a bit in reverse, etc., to prevent splintering, but I didn’t know those at the time.

I purchased all the parts from Happs Controls & threw this box together.

The wood plans came from Lusid’s plans (Revision 7), while the controller/button layout came from his Word doc.
