A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
Ryglore:
Plaster walls and ceiling. :P

Had a great long holiday, but got more eating done that Cabinet work. :)
I did get my monitor "control pod" more or less done. Note to self; led's don't really like a propane blowtorch in close proximity ::)
The monitor frame is +almost+ complete. I'll have pics when it's done and nicely polished up, but dang. I've already polished most of it and wow. Looks really good on the monitor. My daughter was out in the garage with me working on it. She was playing with a scrap piece of copper tube (i'd drilled a bunch of holes in it only to realize too late that my alignment was off, so I had to scrap that piece).
Anyway, she commented that it looked like a smoke stack. Smoke....Steam....scrap piece just begging for me to do something with it.... Yikes, another side project!
I also was browsing through Tuesday Morning a few days back and came upon this.
It's a +2 pack+ of dancepads (she's just about falls over every time we go out somewhere and there's a dance pad game). For 10$ no less!
I have no idea how good they are, and they're PS2, which required me to pick up a PS2->USB adapter (I found the one in the picture at Frys, 20$, it's an HVG2 PS203).
But with the adapter, they do appear to work just fine. Unfortunately, the cabinets down right now with the screen out, but hopefully, this will allow for a few dueling matches of DDR or somesuch.
Anyone trying any dancing games in Mame with real dance pads?
Ryglore:
... oh ok. PS2 not PS/2. I was like "They are both PS/2? What the hell? that makes no sense." Then I looked closer at the box in the picture. :laugh2:
drventure:
Oh wow ;D
I hadn't heard the term PS/2 in a LONG time. But I've still got lots of those dang MIDI style keyboard plug to PS/2 keyboard adapters...
Anyone need one of those :D
But yeah, I'm talking Playstation 2 here
Ryglore:
Yeah the only reason I thought about PS/2 is because both my KeyWiz40-ST and Trackball are connected via PS/2 port. Since my mobo only has 2 USB ports I wanted to save them for a keyboard and external HDD when I need to go in and tinker with PC workings. :lol
