arcade\u00a0cabinet\u00a0in 2005. \u00a0This however wasn&#8217;t just about buiding a cabinet, it also gave me something to do while I stayed at home while my mother battled breast cancer for the first time during this summer. \u00a0I had documented everything I did with the intent of creating a website about the cabinet, but I never seemed to get around to actually getting the site built. \u00a0I&#8217;ve since gone back to my my orginal pictures and notes, and am recreating alot of this from\u00a0memory.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Matt helped me build alot of this, and it was a great way to keep me occupied while I stayed close to the house that summer, as anyone can tell you the impact chemo has on a person can be pretty harsh, fortunatly during this time it wasn&#8217;t as bad for my mom as I had hear it was for some others.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this blog can help others learn a thing or two and provide some insights (also please don&#8217;t ask me about ROMs, this is all about the work and effort to build something). \u00a0The best resources on the web today are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"BYOAC\" href=\"http:\/\/arcadecontrols.com\/arcade.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Arcade
