Hi people I have a Jamma cabinet and have just ordered a J-Pac from Ultimarc but am so confused about frontends and Mame You see it seems everything contradicts itself or I just can't get things to work. I have downloaded loads of different programmes like Arcade OS, Mamewah, Game launcher and Advance mame, but I can't seem to configure any of them as in sound or video. I would like the monitor vertical so therefore the frontend So can someone please tell me the best setup to use so I can learn all I need and have it all set up when my J-Pac arrives (including which version of mame) |

I like ArcadeOS. It does both vertical and horizontal. You haven't mentioned hardware setup. |

Arcade OS is good; GameLauncher is really simple yet not quite as customizable, but I really like it. Although be warned, it only supports rotating the monitor in one direction (don't recall which, but test first before you mount your monitor). What type of hardware, OS? Need more info on exactly what you're having problems with. |

I have a p3 500 and I am easy with software it currently has XP but I am open to any setup that will give me "a straight from boot" using just joystick and buttons I have looked at dos software but its getting all the drivers for your cards the problem I have with Arcade OS is on 1 computer I just get a jumbled picture and on the other When I click a game it says no sound support and goes back to the games even if its set to "0" for silent |

Egad, XP on a 500 mhz! Ditch it, ditch it, ditch it. For a 500 mhz PC use this setup. DOS if you can get your sound driver working (only driver you will need). I am almost ALWAYS able to get the sound driver working. Especially easy on name brand PCs. You SHOULD really try to go DOS on a rotated monitor because there is NO ADVANTAGE to having windows on a rotated cab, and several disadvantages (like the fact that none of the frontends that rotate can shut down windows). If you want windows then. 64 MB of ram or below = Windows 95 OSR2 96 MB of ram and above = Windows 98 second edition. Gamelauncher is a great frontend to use, be sure your monitor is rotated the CORRECT way. Correct way looking at monitor from the front is to have your monitor chassis on the left. Be sure to download the gamelauncher setup tools, as the included setup app has failed to work on every single computer I tried it on, but the gamelauncher setup tools work on everything. |
