Using Gameshouse games in a cab?
<< < (2/2)
Havok:
Yes, but that is a question for the Mala users - Loadman will probably see this thread sooner or later...

(I use another front end...   ::) )
Razor:
Thanks for the replys, in hindsight I think im just going to keep it simple as this is my first cab, ive got mame and mala running sweet with my controls and thats good enough for me at this stage :)

I have played many of the gamehouse games on my cab while using Mala as my front end, and I did not find it too difficult to set up.  (Actually it wasn't too difficult after Circo came by to help me :cheers:)  I used the same set-up method to install and launch Wincab on my cabinet.

As far as actually playing the gamehouse games, many of the games require a trackball to play, but are still great for cabs.  The only problem is some of the games are not re-mappable, and would play better with a joystick.  Platypus is a classic example that has been pointed out before.  (I realize that there are some programs to work around this, but I haven't tried them yet.)

I actually got turned onto Feeding Frenzy when I played the Ultracade arcade version of it at a local arcade.  The great thing about many of these games, you get the classic arcade "feel", with up-to-date graphics.  The Ricochet series is a great example of this.
Circo:
Here are some screenshots with how to set up mala for pc games.  The easiest thing is to make a directory and place .lnk files (windows shortcuts) from the actual executables of the games.  Those are your "rom" files so to speak.
