Build your own arcade game
So you have an old Dual 500Mhz G4 sitting around, and a copy of MacMAME? Why
not spend a ridiculous amount of time (about a year or so) and effort to create your very own arcade game, powered by
OS X, natch.
That’s just what creativebastard did, and he
chronicles the whole thing on his blog. I must say
that it is a very cool idea, and a great use of some old Mac hardware. If I was handier with a saw and electronics, and
had more space in my small apartment I would be tempted to build my own.
I have a strong desire to play DigDug for some
reason.

thanks, this might just spur my interest to go finish mine. I built the control box, got it to work and gave up. finishing the cabinet. There are tons more resources available online. A good place to start is at: www.arcadecontrols.com
