@mediamogul said in Any PSX builds?: @klachow I'm sure they'll be just as happy with a chocolate fountain and a bouncy castle. Can i have a chocolate fountain and make sure it is dark chocolate cause i am also diabetic.

@psyke83 weather? You're not struggling with the 15c Irish heatwave are you? :-) Thanks for the pr. Looks good but will check/test at weekend.

Good idea , good job!

whoa i really like this, i have a crapy nes game lying around, might do this

Very classy. :)

Lots of the emulators don't have "versions" also. The libretro cores are constantly updated etc - there is no such thing as a "version" for many of them.

Of course, that worked like a charm. Thank you for the support!

@Lurker is their a detailed tutorial of this anywhere?

Really nice to see such devices getting a new life :)

@capeman Yes, it was my error. I had to disable ALL of my overclocking not just the arm_freq. Looks like the pi3b+ can't really handle overclocking the rest at 500mhz for long periods. I'm still not sure which setting it was, but removing it all did it.

@jwshuler said in Custom Arcade Cabinet Build: It is actually start to look like an arcade cabinet. It sure does. :)

@dubiousengineer Thanks, I very much appreciate that. 😊 But don't be fooled about its apparent professionalism, the pictures' resolution isn't high enough to show the many little flaws and compromises I had to make. E.g. I couldn't avoid small wrinkles in the foil at the sharp outer corners – but they're not so bad that I have to cover them with the usual moulding. I don't want to enter a "you certainly did a better job than me, sir" argument, but nevertheless, you put much more actual craftsmanship into your build, whereas I used a DIY kit, even if a "raw" one without artwork and electronics. But okay, in the light of my very limited crafting abilities I do take the liberty to be a little bit happy and proud about the outcome. 😌 Watching your last video made me admire your work … again. You don't seem to have one of those big workshops with buzz saws etc. that many prominent arcade builders have, yet you make the best of your tools and materials. I also liked how you improvised after drilling an oversized hole (man, I had the sincerest sympathies watching it). I have only one gripe about your videos: stop drinking tasty-looking beer! It always makes me thirst for my own. 😄 edit: I forgot a word. sigh

Does anyone have any recommendations on the best two player team games? - The wife is loving Tumblepop - has completed it three times now... but I got bored quickly... RetroPie EmulationStation HomeBuilt BarCade

@sturo In my humble opinion, it would very well deserve it. :)

@hurricanefan So the only things I plan on adding are a trackball, some low profile casters for the back, and some levelers for the front. I didn't know exactly what casters I wanted before starting the build, or else I would have cut them in before I built it. It's not that big a deal to do it after the fact, but I'm worried about getting a bunch of saw dust between the plexi and the monitor which will be a royal pain to clean. Other than that, I just picked up an 8 bitdo bluetooth controller to supplement playing on some of the console systems. I haven't had time to play or sync it with the arcade yet. So far, that's about it. Maybe I'll come back with some updates once I've played with it for awhile. It seems there are always some things you would do differently once you own things for a while!

Well, I've half-answered my question. I somehow suspected CEC to be an issue, and lo, when I changed hdmi_ignore_cec_init to hdmi_ignore_cec, ES stalls on launch, spits out "lvl0: CECInput::mAdapter->Open failed", runs, and then works perfectly, so it's probably an issue with the libcec I'm using.

@eladiopinto Thanks.

@grant2258 ... oh wow! That’s a great idea... it could include battery status etc... I just bought an iPad battery for this setup, I’ll publish the latest build video soon... a little more editing to do to make it flow better... most things on my channel are Dubious:) ... health and safety takes a back seat (stupidity prevails)...

I've only just started but had a look around for recommended keyboards and the reviews of such. Finally I went for the Rii mini wireless keyboard, it's great, very responsive and comes with all the options you can think of. Plus it is cheap. I am now putting one on order for my work, as the wireless one I have now is full size, granted it has touchpad and number keys, but so does the Rii mini. The BIGGEST advantage with the Rii is it can fit in your pocket! Other advantages are you can actually hear when you press a key, so there should be no miss typed coding.
