Necro, your cab sounds cool enough to me that I would just use the original setup and stick to MAME. Unless there is some specific console game you're really hooked on, MAME has built in solution to your issue. I put console emulators on my first machine and realized I didn't really want to play them after playing their arcade counterparts. |

True true....and once I make the mods to the art I can't go back...so... Attempt with Maximus it is I guess. Which puts me in a bad spot - 30 days is great, but I need to finish the CP to really test it. My plan was to setup the computer partially, then build the CP slowly, ensuring all connections work right since I'm building it off of a multiple d-sub connectors and I'm a bit worried about my ability to put it together properly. Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II I guess are the only big games I want to make sure work...but one of the DAPHNE developers told me that I can accomplish it via flipping the videos used in the game. I'll do that if it doesn't work in MAME. :laugh: Now I want to go home and work on the cab. This isn't good. I'm swamped with work... :) |

apparantly lcd's are translucent? Guys make projretcor with them... I havent read a whole lot into it, and it sounds a bit involved. I can't imagine you'd need all the cooling since you're not projecting it the way these guys are. Anyways, fractal lense may help you, or possibly stripping the lcd screen and flipping it? Do some reading and se if it's worth trying. http://www.lumenlab.com/S15_PDF/Lumenlab_DIY_projector_guide_v2.0.pdf But man I'd like to think theres gotta be a dip switch somewhere to invert the damn screen in any given monitor (Wishful thinking I know). |
| Necro:
I was looking at that yesterday....the big thing I need to determine is whether or not flipping is possible. My interpretation of some of the diagrams I've seen is that there's a film at the back of the LCD that you remove when making those projectors. ...Hrm. I actually have a dead GPS unit I can rip apart to test this on tonight. In-tah-resting... :laugh2: |

Here's another idea: Is there room for a 2nd mirror? Currently, you have it like this (chicken head man shows direction a player faces): / <o / | Since the monitor is facing away from the player, the image appears reversed horizontally. In this configuration, with a 2nd mirror and the monitor UPSIDE DOWN, it works (straight line is the monitor, but you may have to angle it): / <o \ | | The tricky part will be the angles and room. |
