Model 2 emulator and fullscreen? Can Mala(or other frontends) help?
(1/8) > >>

Hey all!

I was pretty happy with the vivanonno emulator, but had to drop it due to lack
of 'start-up-in-fullscreen-with-RaveRacer'...so no good for arcade cabinet.

Then I saw the 0.4 Model 2 emulator with Desert Tank etc., and that has the same
problem. :hissy:

Is there any way I can get one these emulators to work with a frontend? What I would
like the most is vivanonno with Rave Racer...otherwise I have to wait to the PC gets
really fast :)

Thanks,

Nicholas

I've written a wrapper for the Model2 emulator which is available as part of the GameEx install.

Hey!

Can you tell me what it does? can it solve my problem?

Does anyone know if the Model2 emulator work with a PC wheel?

Thanks!

Yes it does solve your problem, its a wrapper. In general a wrapper does what needs to be done to have the emulator run in fullscreen mode in an arcade cabinet. That's what the wrapper does. I have written it specifically for GameEx though, so it won't work with other FE's out of the box. I have considered writing a special version for other FE's but havn't got around to that yet. If your happy to use GameEx then it works out-of-the-box. For other FE's you need a generic wrapper. I believe AtomicFE has a Model2 wrapper too in it's Model2 plug and play module, so that is another alternative.

If the emu itself doesn't support the mouse wheel, I doubt a 3rd party wrapper could help you there.

There is a Model 2 emulator and wrapper included with the Arcade and Arcade Enhanced Plug and Play modules, but just like the GameEx situation, it's made for AtomicFE use. However, it hasn't been updated in a while, and is based on the 0.1 version, so it may not even work if you updated the Model 2 program within the module...
