Dear Fellow Retro Gamers

This is my guide to building a MAME cabinet. Click on the "step by step" link in the top and see how it is made from scratch. You will find custom artwork for Marquee , side art , kick plate , bezel and working drawings in both PDF and Autocad format for the MAME cabinets.

I really hope these articles will inspire you to make your own arcade MAME cabinet,
it's a loads of fun. Feel free to use my drawings and artwork to make your own MAME cabinet. Remember to send me your photos of your finished cabinet to share with others!

If you this free guide to make your own MAME cabinet, please feel free to make a donation. I'm trying to raise enough money to make a new up-right cabinet. Thanks!
