I like this:

- Full 4 USB Joypad Support through the GP2X Interface Board.

Just one more reason for me to get that Breakout Board

Seems to be overkill for a mame cabinet

You could do this; but I'd personally just get a MicroATX motherboard, an inexpensive Athlon 64 (Socket 754) or Athlon XP Mobile processor, ~256MB of RAM, a video card that can drive an RGB display, onboard audio, and a decently-sized HDD for ROMsets, and a decent PSU and put it all in the cabinet, wire up the controls to buttons on a keyboard PCB and hook that to the motherboard, and map the relevant buttons in MAME. Then I'd throw a WiFi adapter in there to load new games on it.

You'd be able to run wayyyy more games this way ... and if the HDD was big enough there's no reason you couldn't use it as a music jukebox or movie playing machine too.

meh I dont care that much, and I could take this to friends house. We had thought about making a MAME cabinent. But I like this too. And, I want a break out board and a NES/SNES Smart Joy USB thing so I can do those too hehe.

Well. I wanted to do a Mini MAME Cabinet for a long time already (before FW2.0.0 was even out), and I've got all the sticks and buttons at home... but didn't have time yet to do it.

It'd be pretty cool to build a mini MAME cabinet with a dock for the GP2X or something, but the TV-Out cuts out some of the scanlines, and, personally, that would annoy the crap outta me.

Nope, I mean a MiniMAME with the original gp2x-Screen. That mini
With a small stick and small buttons

Even though GPH keeps touting the gp2x as a possible mame cabinet engine in their advertisements, has anyone ever heard of someone actuallying doing this as opposed to using a cheap PC?

It won't be the smallest, but it can be the most versitile that is portable...
