Killer Instinct on a budget?
#384093 - 10/28/19 06:10 AM


Okay, here goes...

I’m gna build my own arcade cabinet for MAME using a PC.

The thing is, I have ZERO experience building one. There’s a first time for everything, right?

The only games I care about playing are Killer Instinct 1 & 2, MK 1, 2 & UMK3.

I feel confident enough in configuring all the buttons and joysticks, so my question is: what specific hardware do I need that I can get for a reasonable price? My wife is 9 months pregnant so this is gna be pieced together slowly, which I’m totally okay with.

Again, I have no experience but I can navigate my way through tutorials.

CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM... Whatever else I need. I’m not even sure exactly what those are but I will learn.

I’m sure there are some tech OGs in here that won’t even give this post a second glance because of how n00b status it is, and I completely understand, but for any of you who take pity on me, any and all insight, advice and help will be seriously tremendously appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey noobietrap. you’ll see that the folks here are pretty patient and helpful. I’m in the process of rebuilding a system from the ground up myself. I recommend jumping in and doing some light reading on the subject:
http://docs.mamedev.org

As well as follow the subsequent posts on the subject.
There’s a LOT of info out there.

Welcome aboard!
