MAME can run on many different platforms such as Windows, Unix, OS X etc. But since we're at it, why not replacing all the proprietary hardware with a computer running MAME? Arcade cabinet and MAME MAME which stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator is a software that allows to run and emulate approximately 3700 different arcade games such as, among the most famous ones Ms Pac Man, Metal Slug, Street Fighter II, Galaga etc. If you want to run another game on it, you'll have to change the proprietary hardware inside. I'm simplifying, but by definition you can run only one game at a time into an arcade cabinet. Per Wikipedia, an " arcade cabinet, also known as an video arcade machine or video coin-op, is the housing within which an video arcade game's hardware resides." It is more a guideline because there are many different type of Arcade Cabinets, with different setup and hardware. It is about converting - rather than building from scratch - an Arcade Cabinet into a MAME Cabinet. This Instructable is more like a guideline than a true step by step Instructable.
