Picked this up in August of 2010. I really started falling in love with Nintendo cabinets as of late, the colors, the art, the size, the classics, everything about them. I was super stoked when I had the opportunity to get this gem. It's the pride and joy of my collection.

I spent $494 getting this project to where it is now, however I sold the original monitor for $150. Which really makes my total $344. It's running MAMEv 124 with a complete ROM set. However I used ROMlister to compile a specific list of games that utilize no more than one button. I used MaLa as the front end, and all the menu screens are custom.

I really love this project, I'd LOVE another Nintendo cabinet.
