I want to build a MAME cabinet. For those not in the know, MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. MAME itself is an emulator of arcade games with the intent of preserving gaming history and preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten. This is an application anyone can run on their home computer, which in turn runs ROMS; basically images of arcade games dumped to a file. You might recognize the ROM portion as pertaining to CD-ROM's; ROM simply stands for Read Only Memory, meaning it is data which can not be changed, but is rather simply read.

If you haven't been lucky enough to buy a Wii of your own, you could always pretend, and I don't mean in the dorky wave-your-tv-remote around sort of way. The good folks over at Wiili.org have devised a neat program dubbed the Wii OS (but we prefer Wiindows OS) for emulating the Wii menu on your computer screen. And if you have bluetooth capabilities, you can even use a Wiimote with it, completing the experience. Check after the break to see it in action, complete with mumbly narration.
