update - got some FFB working but decided I just want to build my cab without it i think.

Hey guys - awesome project and thread on it!
I'm making dedicated cabinets currently using retropie on a RP4. I was hoping to use this as it seems like its more of a "true" version of standard mame which im accustomed to.
With that being said, I was wondering if anyone can help with adding shaders for tube curve, scanlines, and on vector games, the bloom, persistence, etc.
I know being on a RP4 that the standard d3d way of doing it on a PC wont work. Ive read this thread and it seems some of you are using shaders, but im only seeing bits and pieces of the .ini addons to make it work.
If someone could point me in the right direction on creating the folder, and adding the correct lines to the ini to get started id appreciate it.
TY!!

I made one using the control panel from an Arcade1Up pacman cab as a template. I figured out the top layout first, then built the housing around it. It was a pretty sweet contraption. Basically, the (Ms.) Pacman cab was the home base for the control panel. But if I wanted to take it with me, I'd simply lift it up from the Arcade1Up and unplug the connectors and just plug it in to a regular TV for on the go fun. Unfortunately, it got destroyed this last June when our town got flooded. I do have a video though of the original concept for it that I did. Self contained, even had it's own speakers. Jump to 13:29 in the video and you'll see kind of what the finished product looked like:


The one in this video was the concept design, the completed design was much sweeter. Gonna have to build me another one one of these days, but first I need to one day repair the other cabs in my basement that got destroyed. 10months later, I'm STILL recovering from that disaster so re-building arcade cabs is pretty low priority for now.

It is possible to get a Wiimote to vibrate whilst pretending to be a Xbox controller via Touchmote using AHK.

The above is a link explaining how to do it and use it.

Or copy and paste the code below for ahk without having to read up on it

Hey guys,

I know it isn't possible to have two AMD GPUs when using Emudriver. I had a thought though, would it be possible to have a secondary of Windows just for the supported GPU? Just for Emudriver? I have a secondary PC I was using for emulation via Emudriver, but it's pretty slow compared to my main gaming pc.

If you master touchmote on mode 4 youll never have to mess with demulshooter or ahk in your life ever again.

I just need the tweaks to make it rumble or have ffb. Im positive i will get help from a friend. This one guy wont ignore me like ive been ignored so far

Er - congrats, I think 

As long as it makes you happy then go for it, maybe the next one will be better 

Yes, I can.  Thank you!  I will have to figure out how to configure them properly, as it's a little more involved than your method.

Check the reset circuit.
