Running mame4all on a Pi2 , struggles with anything post '89 tbh, but a newer Pi would probably blast it,
If you want to run mame4all I will be home in the next month or so and can send you the code for the buttons I have.
And the ROM set , I have about 2000 ish

Thanks for the replies, not sure which way to go about it. These arcade games are expensive to buy !!

I reckon mine was under £150 all in, including the Pi, paint, etc.

So rather than building my own I bought a second hand retro arcade cabinet. It has Pandora's box 4 which is grand at the moment and I can upgrade when I get bored of it ... What I'm looking to do now is getting some decals on the side and front of it. Would anyone have any designs on file that I could use, or where to get them ? Cheers !
