Hi All, I'm beginning work on my long awaited project. It's not only a cabinet that does MAME but it also emulates NES, SNES, Genesis, and Gameboy and maybe someday in the future it will emulate systems like the PSX, N64 and the modern ones (xbox, game cube, ps2). It will allow up to four players and will run entirely on a linux system and use a perl/mysql/ncurses frontend, which I'm in the process of writing. (GPL of course so I'll put it on sf.net when I finish it) I'm using a keyboard hack (matrix is fully mapped) with some happ controls for the main buttons and joysticks and using parallel ports for additional controllers using a modified version of the wonderful gamecon.c by Vojtech Pavlik (though USB and gameport are also available if need be...) (NES and SNES are all that I have tested at this point, but I plan to allow genesis, n64/psx, and dreamcast as well) I don't think I need to add anymore details at this point because I'm still designing it, but I would appreciate any original name suggestions. Some suggestions that I already have gotten are: -Perlysis -Emux -l33tn355 (that's script kiddie for elitness in case you didn't know) -0wnage (too many other hax0r/script kiddie-ish names to mention) -*NIX MAME |

How about The Penguin Beater? :P |
| Ix3:
Everyone loves Tux don't they? ;) Really, I wasn't planning to put linux, tux, penguin, or gnu in the name, but I suppose I could |

MAME Tuxedo or MAME in a Tux |

I don't have a suggestion, but I do want to know what resources you used to hook NES/SNES controllers to an LPT port (assuming I understood you correctly). If so, I have spent the last 2 days trying to get an NES advantage to work thru my LPT port on a WinME machine. Will not detect it at all. Pretty sure I'm doing it right. Any help is appreciated. |
