@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.

The only part of the runcommand (which runs the games) that uses sudo is the CPU governor switch. Try adding your user - that auto-logins and runs Emulationstation - to the sudoers configuration file so is able to run sudo without being prompted for password. Type sudo visudo to start editing the file and make sure you have an entry with <user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL but replace <user> with your actual username.

@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. :)

@smeffron Thanks for the compliment. 😊 The kit I used is linked in my opening post right after the first two pictures. It's this kit from the German vendor Arcade4You. I used no t-moldings, as this kit doesn't have pre-milled notches for them. I just bent the car foil around the edges as it is shown here: The small round corners of my cabinet gave me some trouble, though, as you can see on my pictures in high magnification. They have some small wrinkles, but I can live with this little imperfection of my own work. 😌 You can also look at ArcadeWorldUK for more Flatpack kits. They have increased their product range significantly since last year.

@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.
