Hi, This is a first draft. Unfortunaly i'm not an artist . I used a Marquee List , if you prefer a Text list instead , say me , i will do another one. I don't know if you have marquees so i put marquees for game you want in a Marquee folder. you have to make point the MARQUEE folder in atomicmanager to that folder. I didn't find the MArquee for MELLO YELLO QBERT , may be you can find it or do one yourself. IMPORTANT: To Use this layout in vertical mode you have to select HORIZONTAL for screen-orientation. (it is because that layout is a "pure" vertical , not a horizontal rotated) http://www.AtomicFe.com/divers/layout_qbert.zip Feel free to modify it. If Marquee are not enough readable you can replace them by a simple picture where you write the name of the game yourself. Let me know. |

SirPoonga, This is a little off topic, but can you do a tutorial for dummies for the knocker in Qbert when you get it to work with LEDwiz. i.e. powersource, relay, how to hook it up etc. That would be much appriciated. Kevin |

I will give you the basic idea. The knocker is 27VDC. There is a 30V DC adaptor at radioshack. Will need to add some resistors to knock that down to 27V. The ledwiz's outputs are 5V. So a relay that is triggered with 5V that can handle 27V is needed. I posted the radioshack part numbers somewhere, on the powermame thread probably. I plan on using powermame, as it will do the qbert knock if I recall, to trigger the relay via the ledwiz. However, if you do find a qmame somewhere it uses the scroll lock keyboard led when qbert dies. For that you'd just need a keyboard hack, unsolder the scroll lock led and attach the relay to the it instead. |

Youki, that layout looks great! :D :D :D And everything is working now! Thank you so much, it is just what i was looking for. Do you know how to make it so that when i exit atomic, the machine will just shut down, without going through windows? also, is there a way to boot directly into atomic, so windows does not really show? I am running windows me, which is almost identical to windows 98 so win98 instructions should work. Also, i have a choice of either putting a computer monitor in my qbert, or using the existing arcade monitor with my pc, does atomic support an arcade monitor? |

Thanks Sir Poonga, I guess this will take some more research on my part. To be honest I don't know what a relay is other than you need one for score boards and coin counters. I looked at the Qmame site but the pictures are down. Right now I am assuming that you hook the Led Wiz to the relay to the powersource to the knocker. I guess I'm still trying to figure out how the knocker worked in the original game. This project is a ways off for me but I'd love to know more about it. Thank you for your help. |
