Voyager Arcade Cabinet Info Game List: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Scramble, Space Invaders, Dig Dug, Lady Bug, 4DWarriors ,1942, Galaga, Galaxian, Frogger, Pacman, Phoenix, BombJack, Lunar Rescue, Moon Cresta, MrDo, PacmanPlus, StarForce, UniWars, Wonder Boy, Xevious, Gorf, Moon Patrol, Terra Cresta, Eyes, Son of Phoenix, Star Force, Video Hustler, Vastar, Wiz, MX 5000, MegaTack, Jail Break, Gyrodine, Pleiads "No charge is made for the games, they are installed free of charge." <- The red flag. ::) Nintendo and Namco don't give away their games. Nor are the titles in the appropriate "groupings" that are available for licensing. I can pretty much guarantee that they don't have a license to put those in a commercial setting like they are. If they do, they'd have to have something pretty special on their hands to be treated differently than every other cabinet manufacturers. Which leads me to the next point... They're using a 17" monitor in an upright and a 14" in a cocktail?!?!? For £1600 (~$3000.00) you should be getting something with a decent size screen. PacMan on a horizontally mounted 17" monitor isn't a $3000.00 experience. I *do* admire the push for some old school game development though. I'd like to see something like a Visual Pinball community for arcade development. There are some pretty good original ideas out there, they just need a common engine to run on. If there was a MAME equivilent for original titles, I think it could work well. |

Why wouldn't mame work for original titles if you are developing for one of the existing supported boardsets? It would be like the guys who used to re-rom atari cartridges after writing their own games (or editing the existing game code) Somebody has to have documented the emulator for one of the cartridge based, arcade machines |

I don't know if it's possible or not, in theory it should be, but I've never jumped that deep into the ROM info before. Someone (more creative then I am) should try it. |

Dunno. Looks like a *very* unprofessional website to me. |

The desire is there but the knowledge is not, in my case. I always wanted to make my own version of Frogger. Froggers revenge. something involving an overpass and a rocket launcher, blow up the cars so the other frogs can hop to safety maybe a shopping mall parking lot and a monster truck. --- Quote from: GoPodular.com on April 11, 2007, 02:43:42 am ---I don't know if it's possible or not, in theory it should be, but I've never jumped that deep into the ROM info before.
