Here are some tools which I found made my life easier while working on my cabinet.
TeamViewer- Even if you have an usb port on the front of your cabinet like I do moving files and configuring stuff is always a chore because I have to walk back and forth and sit uncomfortably while configuring everything. TeamViewer is a life saver because it allows you to move files and remote control your cabinet from another computer, thus making everything way easier.
EmuMovies Downloader- Whenever you see a MAME cabinet, with every game there's at least one picture depicting it so the player knows what the game looks like before launching it and also looks better than just a list of titles. Those images are called snaps and there's one program that can download one for each game, and can also download pictures of control panels, marquees and promotional pictures for arcade games and most other systems.
Progetto Snaps- This is a site which provides full sets of snaps for MAME. If you have downloaded a ROM fullset, definitely check this site out, it's super useful and a good alternative to the emuMovies Downloader if you only want arcade games.
Mr. Do's Arcade- This is a wonderful site for MAME users, but it is especially useful because it hosts all those ini files like catver.ini and controls.dat which are hard to find sometimes. It also hastons of info about MAME, derivatives and frontends.
BYOAC- BYOAC is a forum dedicated exclusively to arcade games and can help you with anything related to arcade games, wheter it be building a cabinet or deciding which frontend to use.
