Holy Crap! that Commodore "room" is awesome! I love it! I am gonna have to try that out!
Voodoo Lounge is cool, but what the hell do you do in the cinema or in the bar? Just walk in and look around? Also, can you actually use the bowling alley? That would be cooool!
Maybe in the bar you can select music on a jukebox? or in the cinema launch any video files you may have in a directory?
Cool stuff man. 3dArcade has come a long way. Can't wait to see what's next!
:D

-the monitors above the bowling lanes ar triggers to launch bowling games.
-vs designed that bar as a kareoke bar for those music games to put in there. yes you can put a jukebox in the bar and select playlists on it. But the vslounge has to optimised a bit before it is really useful...i had to remove some of the posters to get the framerates you see in the video...it uses an insane amount of big textures ;-)

I downloaded 3dArcade last night and spent 2 hours just walking around the demo rooms and downloading the 3d Cabinets to go into the arcade.
If you haven't tried this prog then DO IT! I really like MAMEWah, but this is sooo beautiful it's hard not to use it.

Yeah, only problem is i have like 1300 games in my mamewah list...you will not be able to have that big of a 3d arcade! LOL. So, what can you do? I might setup a 3darcade for just my fav classics. Something I wonder though, is it possible to be inside an arcade with the favorite 100 cabs, but then also have a way to bring up a menu with the full text list of all games? Or maybe you walk upto a "PC" in the 3darcade and on the screen is a text list or something that you can actually scroll through to launch?
Sorry if this is already done..just thinking out loud. I haven't tried the newer version of 3darcade yet. But I am defiantely gonna check it out. Hopefully my 1ghz pc can handle it!

yes the 3darcade can show just a portion of the complete list you can switch to in list and cylarcade/wheel mode. All menutypes are just different views of the same list. Also its possible to put list like menu's on models...ie select vectrex games directly on the vectrex monitor.
Imho for most cab purposes just a simple text list is the best solution...and the fpsarcade is just a nice bonus for occasional nostalgic trips ;-)
