cdnbum:
I am thinking of building a Mame machine and I have one buddy that did one years ago, but looking for anyone that has maybe recently built one and knows all the latest software and roms (I have the roms) to help me if I get into any challenging setups?

I think I can handle the building part of the project, but the version of Mame that I tested did not have all things working, and I am thinking I would like to have a Tron themed machine and it would be nice if Tron was on there and worked  ::) Knowing this may require that specific joystick, but hoping I can work with the tankstick that I already have. Also have the Dragson Layer and some other Laser Disc stuff that I would like to get working.

Anyway, just looking for some contacts that are knee deep in this stuff and can help when I get stuck or when I go to complete the setup of the actual PC stuff.

Thanks to all for your consideration and help.

Not sure how many MAME types are in the St. Louis area, but post away if you have any specific concerns or questions.  To paraphrase "Field of Dreams": If you post it, they will answer.

As to Tron, there are several approaches, depending on the type of control panel (fixed, modular etc.) you plan on having.  I think that darthpaul is trying to automate the 4-way to 8-way restrictor switching during game play. (Just do a search for tron + switch)

For Dragon's Lair and other laser disc games I believe the program you want is called Daphne.

I have a Tank Stick now and I have read somewhere that folks have made that work, albeit not ideal, but have. Not sure what other options are out there as to not modify the tank stick.

I am from Canada, northern Ontario Sault Ste. Marie. I have been in St. Louis for 17 years now.

Always that that question was funny.
