This thing came out great.  Really nice job!  :applaud:

How does it work?  You just power on from the back and MAME boots straight to GnG?  I don't see an exit button on the CP so I guess there's no menu or anything that you can accidentally back out into?

Haven't finished setting up a frintend. But there is a menu. The player 1 and player 2 botton on the right act as the exit/ back button when pressed at the same time for longer than a second. I didn't want any admin buttons.

Yeah on my first build i felt like I needed a landing strip of admin buttons. Finally narrowed it down to 2 or three. (Not counting credits and P1 P2 start buttons)

My first build was a mess. 2 player street fighter layout and a bunch of admin buttons ( pause, exit, save, load,) every emulator imaginable. Some required external USB controllers. It was dumb and newbies had no idea how to control it. Simple is better.

Was really getting into some ghouls and ghosts last night, but couldn't get close to breaking the stock high score. Then I switched over too ghosts and goblins and I now believe side by side ghost in goblins is a superior game. Seems a little faster and I was way better at it, crushing the stock high score. Still like the ghouls n ghosts artwork better.

That's a good idea.
I have something in the works using a steal control panel and I really didn't want to drill into it to add more buttons

Highly recommend. Most front ends have the ability to map button combo's. Some even let you set how long you have to have to hold a button or buttons down.

Both great games,but how frustrating not being able to shoot up in Ghosts.Especially after playing a lot of Ghouls.

Yeah I hate not being able to shoot up.
