I just thought I share some of my favorite (retro)gaming links:

http://www.the-magicbox.com Videogame news straight from japan in english.
http://www.retrogamingradio.com Monthly radioshow (in mp3) about all things retrogaming
http://www.tomheroes.com Monthly online retrogaming magazine (issue 72 already!)
http://www.retrogames.com Needs no introduction?
http://advancemame.sourceforge.net The MAME version for arcade cabinets
http://www.gooddealgames.com Gameshop with nice retro collection and new games for old consoles
http://www.gamechoiceclub.com If you got the money you can get some nice retro stuff here
Dreamcast in arcade cabinet High on my wishlist
All things CDi I just seem to have a weak spot for this system
Assembler I can spend hours here, mostly drooling over all the stuff I will never own.
Interesting DOS programs Still comes in handy for those MAME dos cabinets
Audio network As long as you are satisfied with the low quality MP3s you can get thousands of free professional sound effects here.
http://www.digitpress.com To many retrogaming info to mention
http://www.videogamebible.com I think the title says it all

Anybody else got any interesting links?
 
Zophar's Domain is good if you want a specific emulator. And there's less Linux/beOS jibba jabba than Retrogames. Vintage Gaming Network is another good emulation site, too.
Xinga has cheap parts and accessories for consoles, new and old. Good if you want a replacement DC laser unit, I imagine.
Home of the Underdogs is good for old games, PC and Console. It even has a few ISOs like Snatcher. Well worth a look.
mame.dk is good, when it has ROMs up. They come and go a lot. It's also good as an information database.
And Killer List of Videogames is, too. Lots of info on arcade games (but it's not updated enough for my liking)
Coin-op Express is probably a good place to get arcade PCB's from, but I never got the chance to before my cabinet blew up. Blah.
Zax is the only proper (big) place that sells PCB's in Australia. I don't count Leisure and Allied, it looks like they're pulling out of Australia. Traitors.
Last but not least Jeff Minter's homepage. No introduction nessecary. (haven't heard much of him around here from late, but oh well...cheers anyway!)

BTW, those DC's in arcade cabinets aren't that good. A few arcades use them to save bucks on Virtua Tennis 1/2 and Capcom vs SNK 2, and people seem to avoid the games. They also overheat a LOT. They feel about as fake as a MAME cabinet with a PC monitor to me...
 
Jeff Minter's currently busy making a game for gamecube :) I know he's got a GP32,though, so maybe after that.... I'd love to see a new '...of the Mutant Camels' game for gp32 :D as it is, the atari games are pretty cool (and legal too!)
