Arcade Madness

Was playing around with a few ideas for features for the cabinet. I'm weighing up whether or not I put a trackball in it. I'm a bit opposed at doing that as I mainly want the machine to be for fighter type games. I'm thinking i'll get a copy of QuickKeys X on the iMac so I can easily shutdown the machine and return to the main menu of MacMAME.
I ordered myself a coin mech this morning to play around with. They're quite reasonably priced $40 AUD, and are very simple to hook up. They come with a microswitch that you can connect to the iPac so coin inserts will be triggered within MAME. I need to get a hold of the 19" screen so I can work out the final specs and sizes. I'm still surprised at how well MAME plays on the iMac.
