Hey guys, I'm an off and on MAME Arcade builder who has been on the quest to have my own MAME system and cabinet set up for about 2 years now. I go in spurts of having time to work on the project, then I will go about 2 months without being able to touch it. :cry: It seems like I have to re-learn everything about MAME, Hyperspin, Roms, filtering, etc, everytime I start up being able to have time to work on it. Expecially when it comes to Hyperspin and getting my roms filtered correctly and making sure I remember what folders I have put certain parts of the project in, to work on hyperspin backgrounds, etc. :dizzy: does anyone else feel like a complete newbie if they arent able to stay up on their own project??? :dunno3 Or am I wierder than I thought.... ??? |

I know what your saying but there is a learning curve it seems you havent reached it. Its different for each person I assume. It took me 6 months of working on hyperspin to configure 50 emulators and over 3 years to build something that I was happy with. How i prioritize is most of the winter I will work on software and front end stuff then around april or may i start bringin out the tool box and wood. So i would think for you this would be a good time to work on a cab for the next few months at nite instead of TV work on your plans then pick a day on the weekend to start working on it. Dont even worry about roms and hyperspin.! By sept oct you should have a decent cab ready to go if not pick up in april or may of next yeat spend and the rest of the winter configureing hyperspin. In the end you have a awsome home built system. Or of course i can give you an education seminar on Hyerspin for a small FEE :lol :lol |

Awesome! 1) Learn the hell out of Hyperspin 2) ? 3) Profit! :) But I also know what you mean about relearning everything. Some of this stuff sticks. But some of it fades pretty fast when life gets in the way. |

I say forget hyperspin. Forget all the fancy front-ends and thousands of games. Forget the countless hours of configuring and tinkering. Download a couple of roms at a time. PLAY THEM. For a week or more, no exceptions. No getting bored with it and downloading another. You will enjoy your cab much more. |

So in the end you will end up building a cab with the ultimate game collection even if you dont play it its nice to say i have that game when some out of the blue wants to play a game and you have it. My step son came home from school and said his history teacher showed them a game i guess dealing with history "kid icarus" on NES system. Low and behold i had it my collection and now its in my favorites. I love hyperspin and having the most games i can find :D |
