[Ritalin]

Holy cow, that thing is an amazing beast!
Great work!!

[Loafmeister]

Super well done and I love the front end. I'm in the middle of my "front end" decision making process for my upgraded cab and darn it, you managed to add "Maximum Arcade" to the mix.

Nice job.


A hint......
" You will never be done, EVER. "

Thanks for the kind words everyone.  I owe it all to this community which inspired me.  My buddy Ito Bandito (from RetrowareTV) had a MAME unit and I never thought I would ever get one, until I started reading this forum which made it more and more feasible.  Then he convinced me to buy an empty Wizard of Wor Cab for $25 and the rest is history!

And you are correct, I will never be done, EVER - which is why the project announcement topic is labeled "99% complete"   

I still want to get side art, coin doors, etc.  (and then I can start on my bartop)

Love it 

What FE is that by the way?

[DeLuSioNal29]

The FE I am using is called Maximus Arcade.  You read more about it here:  www.maximusarcade.com

It is free to evaluate for 30 days and then it's $25 to register.  It's worth it in my opinion.  It's super easy to configure.  You simply point and click and you're all set up.  No config files to mess with in notepad.

Any other MaxArcade users out there?

I sampled it, and for some reason, regardless of the resolution I set it to, it always cut some of the screen off!  Which is a shame, because it was easily the most user-friendly FE I've tried.

I use Maximus Arcade and absolutely love it...  Very easy to setup and easy enough for kids to use.  So easy that my 6 year old son has figured out how to have is own customized favorites list and how to add games to that list.  I have never had any resolution issues when using standard resolutions (640x480 or 800x600) on a SDTV screen.  What resolution is your screen set at?

I use Maximus Arcade.  Didn't want to spend 45 hours setting up another FE.  This was up and running in an hour.

I'm just about to start using Maximus Arcade..... Mostly because I got fed up of trying to get other FE's to do what I wanted, without having to spend weeks fiddling with INI files.

You didn't finish your arcade. You just started it. What you finished is one video game machine.

Lock her/him/it in the dungeon?

[clickhea]

are you ready to get started on cab # 2 yet?

[DeLuSioNal29]

are you ready to get started on cab # 2 yet?

My next project will be a bartop probably.  But not for a while.

[DeLuSioNal29]

I posted a new video showcasing the Front End I am using - Maximus Arcade.  I plan to post future videos of the config end of things as well.
