Most importantly, are you launching a game via a frontend that is parsing command lines to MAME?

I'm no expert on this era midway hardware. Hopefully someone with enough know-how on these can chime in.

CRT emu driver and compatible cards are an incredibly powerful piece of tech to have at the disposal for mame but I found more often than not You can never get 100% accurate resolutions for every game in mame and you were left constantly having to adjust and readjust your monitor. After messing...

lol you don't need that level of experience to do this. I'll give you a rough guide. download mame setup zip. go to the root of your PC drive and make a new folder called MAME unzip the mame setup into the MAME folder you just created. Your working mame directory should now be C:\MAME Find and...

Mame is a little bit of a process to get working but its not actually that hard if you understand the ins and outs of a windows PC. If all you want to do is boot to total carnage you can simply write a batch script to boot mame to total carnage, place it in your mame directory and add a shortcut...

I personally use vanilla mame and not a pandoras box. I just did a quick search and it appears the Pandora DX and above have Smash and Total Carnage but it only has the SNES versions of the game bundled. If you have an spare PC you can get them running pretty easily. A few years back i made a...

I've never tried but you can probably run Total Carnage and Smash TV on a pandoras box assuming it correctly maps the right joystick as action buttons (then you can just wire them to a 2nd joystick). If you want to go to the pure PC/MAME route with the most minimalist form, you can use vanilla...

It will override what's already on there assuming that The Arduino that's on this hardware is even writable by the end user. The only difference between an Arduino and your standard over the counter atmel AVR is the bootloader which allows easier tool chain and communications support with the...

There's lots of other code examples in case that one doesn't work 100% for you. There's more than one keypad library and there's always more than one way to skin a cat in this scenario. I wouldn't worry much about the code as much as getting the matrix pad onto an arduino accurately is going to...

The code i used for Fix it Felix is a direct GPIO pin to ground configuration. It does not rely on a key matrix in any way. Because you are looking to repurpose an already existing key pad matrix then you will need to decode the matrix pinout before you can properly remap them to keyboard...

You can use an arduino for this (there are tons of examples online for using matrix keypads with an arduino) your biggest hurdle is going to be decoding and configuring the keypad matrix.

Because there's a massive difference between getting a game to 'just run' and accurately emulating the hardware to the best of your ability (as you further understand the hardware). The MAME team has always made their stance known that their project is a machine emulator- not a game emulator...

You need to go into the configurations menu of your Pandora and make sure it has support for four players. The Pandora DX and up should support four players. There is usually an icon of some gamepads which will indicate your board has support for players three and four to play with gamepads...

The Pandora dx and up should support standard HID encoders for player 3 and 4. I've done it with a pandora but i find it just easier to use a Windows pc with ipac as i was able to get more games up and running and was able to adjust them on the fly much easier.

basically, yes. Depending on how old your build is you might want to just clean out your mame install, delete common files in the directory and retain your mame.ini if you've changed any settings.

Some moons ago i repaired a handful of Area 51 and Maximum force cabinets. 2 of them were too far gone and were used for parts to salvage the others. That resulted in at least one cabinet being completely gutted. A friend of mine always wanted a sort of 'dedicated' Smash TV cabinet and doesn't...

Forgot about this thread. There's lots of batch scripts that you can run to do things like disable UAC (permissions), BCD recovery and other things. Now that we have an emulation section on KLOV perhaps its time to write up a small primer on how to properly setup windows for an emulation rig...

I found that more often than not emulators that relied more on gpu hardware acceleration just ran better on windows. Linux has always had issues with GPU drivers and considering i've always used second-hand PCs for mame cabs that already had a legit windows license, i just stuck with windows.

There's both a lot less bloatware and less un-needed stuff running in the background. This is perfect for a mame cab. It still does allow you to browse the web, activate windows and whatnot. I probably should have taken a video of this but the startup is insanely fast. I just tested it on a...

We spent about that much on everything we needed to get his setup back and running. He's more than amazed at how much mame has progressed over the years and even more amazed how well the front end looks considering he was still using mamewah. He spent quite a bit of money years back on a good...
