Welcome to Fordman's Online DIY & Hobby page.
I basically use this as my online storage spot.

MAME - Multiple Machine Arcade Emulator

I have dabbled into the arena of making my own arcade games.
I dont sell them, I just make them for relatives and friends.

DIY - Jukebox

Im hooked on making DIY jukeboxes. Ive made 4 so far and hope to make more.
There are several Windows based jukebox programs that do a decent job.
I've found one to be my personal Choice: E-Touch Touchscreen Jukebox

E-Touch is a touchscreen jukebox program for Windows based PC's.
Windows XP is the prefered operating system for E-Touch.
With all the feature E-Touch has, I cant keep up with all the UPdates
It's very skinable (although I have no photoshop skills).

A great feature is the WEB Reporting of what's playing on my jukebox.
