Quoted from mwong168:

For those interested in having dynamic marquee for their MAME cab here is a nice sized LCD off ebay. I just ordered one last week and it will be perfect fit for the top of my Vewlix cab.
ebay.com link » Hdmi Dvi Vga Lcd Controller Board With 14 9 Lta149b780f 1280x390 Lcd Display

I got really excited when i saw this, but my marquis is 26". This might be good for a bartop. I wish these would come down in price.

Quoted from Chosen_S:

I’m in the process of building a captain America 4 player machine... It’s only going to be for multiplayer beat em up games... no two player games allowed, no vertical games allowed. Things like Captain America and the avengers, X-Men, Simpsons and so on. I might add some multiplayer steam beat em up games as well ... It will be very simple and use hyperspin.

I like the idea of limiting the games. I have a MAME machine that I could play emulated consoles on and a zillion other things, but I don't really see the point. I built it to play arcade games on. I built a cocktail MAME that is strictly vertical one button games. If I redo the control panel at some point I may add a second button. I like the simplicity. I've been planning a Track and Field cab for awhile. I bought most of the parts. Only button mash games, no joysticks.

Quoted from DeeGor:

Launchbox is great. If you're willing to drop a few dollars, the bigbox mode is awesome. Check out videos of it on youtube. Totally worth the money. Setting everything is is super simple, unlike with Hyperspin, where it takes a lot of research and time to get everything setup nicely.
Launchbox is also under active development, and gets improved all the time.

I agree 100%. I've never liked Hyperspin. Total PITA to set up and I never got it right. My time is more valuable, buy Launchbox Bigbox.

Quoted from facelift:

To bad Mala isn't updated anymore. It was far easier. Don't see an option in Launchbox to check off like in Mala to make it simple for the PC to launch it at startup if you want to use it in a dedicated arcade cabinet. Also, Mala let you check off a box to boot up to a specific game. If you had it in a Pacman cab, you could hit the power button and the pc would boot up straight into Mala and run Pacman. It was awesome and simple.

MALA was great. I don't recall if I added it to the startup menu, or if it was an option, but you can definitely set up Launchbox to run at startup, mine does. Keep searching in the menu, I swear I saw an option to boot to a specific game.
