Wow what a moran, he spelled his name wrong. There has to be a space between digital and gopher. Otherwise it makes no sense. So in the end its like Digital Gopher, but when you say DigitalGopher it sounds dirty. Like the gopher is digital or something. But when it is Digital Gopher it sounds like the gopher is trying to be digital but he has low self-esteem, so he puts him self down. And thats why the space is important.
In the next installment, engadget will show you how to recreate the sounds & smells of an 80s arcade - in your own home.... to go along with the home arcade unit.
A nice article, but it's just a JAMMA supergun, which have been doing the rounds for years. I've had the documentation on my site (which was originally on someone elses before that closed) to build a Supergun for a few years now.Still, it gives people that don't know about this sort of thing, the heads-up.
MAME IS much easier, and if you want to be legit, all you need to do is own the ROMS. (IN this case, the motherboard or MVS cartridge. I have an arcade cabinet and I actually bought a few of the games I was playing regularly. The whole joy of it is playing it on an upright cabinet.What is far more useful is to take old consoles and put them into game cabinets as it brings new life to the games. Most of these projects involve less (complicated) soldering as well.For example: (Dreamcast -> Arcade cabinet)<a class="user" href="http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/arc_dc1.html">http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/arc_dc1.html</a>
It's not an arcade game, however, if it's nothing more than a circuit board without a cabinet. : /This article suggests buying cabinet-less motherboards and game cartridges, not entire arcades. And it would take a rather careless enthusiast to tear an arcade down for this project, especially considering they're a lot more valuable *in* the cabinet than they are out of it.

Having the actual arcade game in your house earns way more style points than an PS3 does. If everyone could only be so lucky...
