MAWS – MAME ROM information site.
You can search through a pretty exhaustive list of parent and clone ROMS with every possible filter you would need (using the deluxe search). From the playable Genre, buttons, players orientation… to the more technical CPU, driver status, version… and so on.
ArcadeControls – The best resource for building your own arcade cabinet.
The information on the main site is pretty useful for getting started, making sure you know exactly what you’re letting yourself in for. For more in-depth information, get yourself into the forum. A very friendly and collectively, knowledgable bunch. If you can’t find what you’re after with a search, then members will bend over backwards to help.
