Done so far:

• Migrated to dedicated PC with clean OS install.  BV's laptop is now deprecated (read: full of goatse).
• Updated MAME binaries and support files to current (0.147); they're on boobies.
• Got joystick working; props to Datagram for figuring out the last annoying part of that.

To do:

• Obtain complete set of CHDs.  Right now they only include the laserdisc games.
• Get PC hardware into cabinet.
• Centralise power so that there's only one cable running out of the back (aka Operation: Powerstrip).
• Wifi, yo.
• Frontend.  Probably going to use Maximus Arcade since it supports over 9000 emulators.
• Build out control panel.
• Build out marquee.
• Add coin mech with bill acceptor.  Donations rock.
• BLINKY ALL THE THINGS.  Buttons, cabinet, trackball, everything.  LEDs and EL wire afuckinghoy.

OMG JAMMA HARNESS, hughalugha etc.
