I'd love to get a thread going discussing the various software that is used in arcade construction. I've seen many programs over the years come and go, many links are dead. I wanted to do only free software, but there are some very good paid progs out there so I am including those. If there is something like this already, I'm stupid and didn't find it. Wow, I AM stupid. Just found the Wiki. However, enough folks responded that I'm gonna update the thread anyway. DESIGN Sketchup - simple yet powerful CAD style program. CABINET AUTOMATION JoyChoose - JoyChoose is a plugin designed to work with Mala to automatically switch your joystick between 8, 4, and 2 way. mRotate - Monitor rotation controller (can't find dl link) ControlChoose - JoyChoose on steroids. Allows automation of all controls. (Can't find dl link) ARTWORK GIMP - Photoshop style art program. Tons of plugins. Inkscape - Vector graphic program. Great for side art and control panels. RealWorld Paint - Paint program, I know nothing about this one, sorry. Paint.net - My personal favorite. Pixel level paint program. Microsoft Expression Design 4 - Vector graphic package, supposedly easier to use than Inkscape. Misc Utils JoyToKey - Converts gamepad inputs to key strokes. Shareware license. Xpadder - Converts gamepad inputs to key strokes. Requires purchase |

Problem is several of the links to various software packages are dead. And some of the packages are just borked. CPMaker is a good example. The link on the wiki goes to Mameprojects.com which is no longer a real site. It's been cash parked. Googling for CPMaker does find a SourceForge entry, but there are zero files in the DL section. |

MRotate, JoyChoose, ControlChoose. (But these are specific to automated cabs.) |
