Ok I do not believe this is breaking any rules because I am not asking for games to be loaded onto the set up. If it is then I apologize and mods please delete this add.
I posted a question in the main forum and got a few answers but I'm still not comfortable with computers so anyone want to make some money off a computer idiot !?!
Looking for someone to build me a computer or Pi set up and running 100% with no games loaded on it. Now my request is kind of simple but also specific.
I will be running it in a 4 player cabinet with only a joystick, 2 buttons and a start button per player. Using a 27in CGA monitor that uses a VGA hook up and I guess an Ipac to wire the controls.
Wants:
1. Load to a screen similar to a 60-1 that shows each game on a short list of maybe 25 games. Want to not have to scroll more then 2-3 pages. ( I already own the PCBs of 7 of the games so those maybe have preloaded ready to play?)
2. Would like one of the game icons that I can select to be NES and once that icon is selected it opens to a game list (I own close to 200 NES games so it should be legal to have this set up with a few games that I own already in it)
3. Complete free play just select one of the game icons and hit start from player 1 and anyone else wants to join in they just hit the start button of the player position they want.
4. A front end loaded on it so it boots right to a creek with the game icons.
5. Everything set up plug and play so I don't need to sit and map what button does what (again I own several of the games I want to put on this so far f they are loaded ready to plug and play it would be great)
6. A little technical support to get it running.
Again I do not believe this violates any rules not asking for any games loaded, and if possible to have the games I already own pre-loaded but if it wrong please delete.
I'm just trying to save my precious and expensive PCBs by running a multi cabinet as a back up and not have to run the chance of breaking boards swapping them out all the time.
I have several dedicated machines and have no problem wiring or anything else needed on the cabinet side I just have no idea how to set up the computer so I want something to just plug and play.
