IKEA Table to Mame Arcade Cabinet Conversion Plays Thousands of Games
If you’re a fan of old school arcade and console gaming, what better way to spend your weekend than turning an IKEA cabinet into a polished arcade game system with a retro table-top arcade feel.
Peter Mars, a French gaming enthusiast, has created an entire blog devoted to his IKEA table to Mame cabinet conversion with detailed photos of every step. The blog is in French but the photos are detailed enough that except for specific wiring and software tips you’ll likely not even need Google Translate.
