Thanks for a all the comments/suggestions. I have mame32 and wasn't able to find the setting for number of screens, hence why I asked the question. Still don't see it actually. :P Right now this is just in the idea stage and I haven't even tried out any driving roms to see what they would be like, but from the responses here it doesn't seem to be worth it. Pretty much right now the game works, so it isn't a question of restoring it or mame, but it is a massive cabinet and does take up a lot of room, more than I would like for one game that isn't that great. I have been considering selling the game, but the 25" monitors are awesome and have been thinking about other things I could do with the entire thing or just the parts. Sorry if that offends anyone. My other thought is possibly putting into 2 xbox's and networking those. That would be really easy to do, I'm not sure about the controls yet, but then would I need two copies of every game I wanted? Sort of defeats the purpose. Just throwing some things out there and trying to get ideas from people who have more experience at this stuff than I do. |

I've never been a big fan of MAME for drivers. At the same time, I see too many of these big dual racer cabs gathering dust at auctions, so I don't feel bad if they are converted (just bad if they are converted for no purpose). If you are interesting in going the XBox route, you may want to look at the Super to interface between the XBox and your cabinet (i.e. use your arcade controls with your XBox): http://www.excellentcom.net/super.html As for the needing two copies of every game, I leave the concerns about pirating arcade ROMS vs pirating XBox games to you. ;) |

I'm already planning a console-based racing cabinet, but I'd like to consider a Dual racer for things like MAME. Somewhere here has mentioned there is an option toggle for sending each player's screen to a seperate monitor - where is this in regular MAME, as I haven't seen it. Is it only included in certain builds? I'm running an older version of MAME as it is more efficient on older PC's - version 0.78. If it was implemented before version 0.106 I'll get that version and run that to try it. |
