That is actually pretty cool!

@Clyde I'm not sure yet, I only took a moment to map because I'm waiting for an image to come out. Then I'll take the time to map properly. @UDb23 thank you!

Didn't you already asked this a couple months ago ? You got an answer on how to set-up your keys in Emulationstation - did you try applying the steps there to configure your controller ? Another question: can I switch of the emulator type display in favourites, that thing in brackets: MOON PATROL [MAME-LIBRETRO] I think this should be possible for custom collections, though your version of Emulationstation is a bit old for that. How did you install RetroPie ?

@wstanek Not every vertical game is 4-way, though. Many arcade SHMUPs are vertical and 8-way. But with either the xboxdrv (item 2D) or switchable Joysticks like the Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus (I have two of them built into my upright cabinet, see my review here), that wouldn't be an issue.

@mitu I had the same issue. It would always ask for a password on first game only. I followed the guides to no avail and found my problem was where in the file I put the user. It must go at the end of the sudoers file after the #includedir line. Once I did that it loaded without asking for permission. I doubled checked by rebooting and running emulationstation again and it loaded as expected. Hope this provides some clarity. This StackExchange thread is where I finally figured out my error.

@Clyde

Mostly not at 4:3 or 5:4, as I said, because they haven't been manufactured in bulk in almost a decade. It is actively hard to find a brand new 4:3 or 5:4 LCD panel. 99% of new monitors are 16:9 or 16:10.

@danielmewhouse said in Alternative PS1 case: don't forget to put something under the Pi to isolate from The metal case. Use some spacers and for full heat dissipation fill the case with sunflower oil Veggie-Pie

Impressive, the design looks great.

@darkseal Great craftsmanship and detailed explanation. But for those that don't have access to power tools or can borrow from a friend or nabor a pre cut DIY kit are not always expensive. Google search: rich's bartop Arcades

Very classy. :)

@wstanek Thanks, I would like to see that list. In the meantime I found out that Ultimarc's product page actually says that the SpinTrak has "1200 pulses per revolution". But if that's so, then I don't understand why the formula from my link above doesn't get the proper results. No big problem, just more work to find the right values by hand. My current approach is to try to find and setup the original rotation/movement ratio (e.g. those mentioned above for Arkanoid and Tempest), and then adjust them to my liking. APB is a good idea. At the moment, I'm collecting the games listed on my link above in two custom collections: driving games and any other spinner/paddle games. Affter that, I'll go through all of them to adjust their analogue settings and test their playability.

@mattyl42 great! not hard at all - the noshaders.glslp file is one line saying shaders = "0" so no shader is loaded :) i didn't think it would work! that's a really cool setup - when you're done make sure you post photos in the projects and themes forum :)

Nice job buddy! I have finished my large cab too and was thinking about doing a small upright like this. I like how you have the shape and it's not the same as every other generic bar top...looks original. Do you have it booting straight into Pac man?

@willie1280 Vectorlib and Arcadeartwork offer a significant amount of artwork in vector format.

@willie1280 I bought a graphic kit from mini arcade machines. My marquee is a sticker. I cut two pieces of plexiglass and sandwiched it between them and then did a border using some leftover T-molding with the spine part cut out.

@dunginhawk Here is a good video for this:

@stuart2773 Thanks. Yes I already use this site, they have some really good scans.

@brurpo said in Done cabinet, researching for light gun support: Since I am using a 29" crt TV, it's technically possible to use a light gun, but as far as I can tell there is no solution available for a real light gun, only wii motes and similar. Is that the case? Anything is possible with the magic of programming. But yeah a real crt based light gun implementation doesn't exist for any emulator I'm aware of but I could be wrong.
