I am wanting to build a mame machine but am having trouble finding
places to download all the roms and also how to wire the whole thing
up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to show
pics of your mame machines.

to have done within a month but u know how that goes. I am new to this
so it may take longer. I will keep checking back with the progress and
if I have any questions.

If you are planning on building your own cabinet:
I just finished my second one. Sorry, I didnt take time to take many
pictures.
Just a word(s) of advice:
If you use MDF board, do the cutting outside. It puts off a lot of dust,
you might want to wear a cheap paper mask (respirator) over your nose
and mouth. (Be extremly careful with the saws)
Measure twice (or three times) and cut once.
Dont primer and paint until you have the cabinet together, or at least
dont paint and primer the edges of the pieces, because the paint takes
up more room than one would imagine. (Im talking about where the edges
of two pieces meet.)
Check back here often, and check the links the other guys posted for you.
As far as the software and wiring, I have found the biggest help from
these guys..
Good luck, and have fun...
If you get frustrated (I did more than once or twenty times), just take
a break and let it rest for a few hours.

Very true, one of the best pieces of advice is take your time and do it
correctly.
