Looking much better. Several other possible considerations: 1. Spacing between buttons -- Slagcoin + test panel FTW 2. Do you want dedicated exit and/or pause admin buttons? 3. Consider increasing the distance between the P1 + P2 Start buttons to reduce the odds of accidently hitting both at the same time. (commonly used for exit) Scott |

The spacing between the player buttons in your diagram might be uncomfortable. Making a test panel can help you decide what layout you prefer. FTW = "for the win" Scott |

--- Quote from: spiderpig on August 02, 2013, 09:45:16 am ---Thanks for all the suggestion guys. I had a spare GP-Wiz40 and a HAPP joystick and two buttons I had used on a simulator build before that I put together to test things out. So on the mac side using Mame OS X the app would crash as soon as I made any joystick movement. Did a search online and it's consistent with that combination - so I'll test out the software you guys mentioned. --- End quote --- Oh, no. Mame OS X is a front end and port of mame for mac os x. Not the same as mame. Last development on it was in 2009. You should actually use mame. Here is a link to a compiled version others have made for mac and ubuntu. Don't get thrown off by the word SDL. Mame uses the sdl library. (http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org/faq/#q9) http://sdlmame.lngn.net http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org |

It's actually for linux. However, I do not doubt that you could get it running on os x with a little bit of effort. They are both unix. A lot of times, it is just knowing how to install dependancies and tinkering. X11 is a good to run linux apps too. I used to use that for open office before apple came out with the more lightweight and pleasant iWork suite. http://www.mameau.com/mahcade/ |
