I will probably convert the marquee to something a bit more appropriate
to the early 80's. I'm a big fan of the Simpsons, but something like
a custom MAME marquee or a marquee of a classic would look much better.
My cabinet sports a 19" monitor (no name brand that I got with a Dell I
ordered). The CPU is a generic AMD pentium I knock-off, 233 MHz, 64 Meg
RAM. Still, I can play all the games that I want to emulate (basically,
all the games from the 80s).
I've got a good control panel (see the control panel section), and a series
of control buttons underneath the control panel. These buttons are used
to coin up, pause the game, and exit the emulation. The trackball works
as a mouse when I'm in windows. However, if I'm using the spinner (also a
mouse device), then the track ball is disabled. One of these days I'll
get around to figuring out why I can't have two mouse devices working
at the same time.
