12-04-2014 4:08pm#1Hi Gang, complete Newbie to anything requiring practical sense i.e. DIY
so in major need of step by step guidance. Have acquired a Noraut Poker cabinet which has working sound/light but is stripped bare other than that - all good. Have a MAME32 Emulator, PC and all that Jazz (well many laptops but can go down the PC route if needs) but what I really need is someones step by step for anyone who has been successful in converting a Noraut Poker cabinet (12 buttons including bet but no joystick) into a MAME Arcade Cabinet. I've read up on items like the X-Arcade USB Joypad for 2 players with all buttons etc, read conflicting views on this, read through threads ad nauseam but I'm stuck on a go forward plan and need a kick start from some of you cabinet convert veterans. Would anyone have any guidance for a complete newbie who wants to take on the DIY challenge and build the cab (as much for me as the smallie :-) ) down to even semi broad steps - I'll not ask you to send me your blueprints and measurements for your projects 
Many thanks Arcade Fans!!!!!! Happy to post progress once this show gets off the ground.0

I think the Noraut route is the best way to go, small in stature, but you can do a lot with them ... I'm still fuming my friends brothers threw my ones out (even if it was accidental)!
My plan was to use a twin x-arcade stick with it (but I'm not sure if you're trying for a singe player, or a two player cab?), cut off the front panel and fit the x ... and as the norauts are quite slim have the edges jutting out at the front (like a 4 player cab, except it's a 2 player). Obviously it would have a paint job and some arcade overlay on it etc to make it all blend in together (unlike some Frankenstein looking x arcade used mame cabinets I've seen out there).0 -
