Hello guys. I have built 15 arcades, stand ups, bar tops, and cocktails using this site and all of you folks as resources. Been doing this so long that when I started LCD screens were not an option.

Anyway, I always use plywood control panels, but this time Im using an old metal street fighter control pannel with holes for american sticks. I am using JLF's this time around and bought some conversion plates from Paradisearcade to do so. The sticks I ordered were without plates because I didnt need the stock ones.

Do I need ot take this whole thing apart to put nuts under the black frame. I dont see threads on it. its plastic and would strip out so ill asume thats the case. The m3 screws I orderd seem small. I went to the hardware store and m4 seem goofy to, heads are too small. Someone said glue or locktight is involved also. Could someone give me a point in the right directions plaease. It would be a big help.

I sent a PM to njz3 and bought one through paypal. This was a while ago so there may be a web shop now.

It's actually a great little device because I can use my main gaming PC for both CRT emulation and as the main PC gaming.

Before I needed a separate PC for emudriver/CRT because I couldn't do regular gaming on it (once the epicgames loader detected TEST mode in Windows it wouldn't load the PC games, not to mention the R9 380 card was getting a bit old).

WOW is that impressive.
Beautiful even if it never left the ground.

The prop alone looks like a work of art.

 

Hi

I solved the problem by reinstalling the CRT Drivers. Everything is OK now

Hi all

I change today the refresh rate of my CRT Monitor from 60Hz to 30Hz by accident.

I'm in Windows 7 and with CRT Emudriver installed (I can't check version now)

The system worked perfect before, but now, with 30Hz, I can't solve the problem, as I only see lines in my PVM monitor.

I tried to connect the computer to a VGA monitor and restore the 640x480@60 resolution, but when I switch back to the PVM, the problem continues. Right now I have 74,87 (Horizontal) and 60 (Vertical), so it's a disaster.

I think my only solution will be to reinstall the CRT Emudriver, right?

I flahsed the GPU the first time I installed them, do I need to flash the GPU again?

I suposse the drivers and install procedure has changed from the first time I did, so where can I find a step-by-step guide to install the drivers?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for confirmation on it working. I tried the FFB plugin version you suggested and now I'm getting FFB but it pulls extreme right or left and doesn't center the wheel. I have alternate ffb on in the plugin as I'm using a VJoy Wheel with backforce feeder. Maybe I have the wrong rom or something? I'll do some more investigating in the coming days. Are you using the latest version of Johns version of Mame or his earlier release?

To fix the problem with the steering wheel pulling towards the ends, press tab > machine configuration > cabinet > twin. It needs to be in Twin because in Standard and De Luxe it presents the problem.

I'm using the latest version (John Bennett's MAME 0.251).

Might be just the pic is too large - try resizing it, save as a jpg etc

Instrument panel is finally completely installed.it was just hanging on one bolt and some tape for the longest time, just in case I had to take it out to modify etc. now it's in, it's never coming out again as it will be a PITA to remove.

It looks great, but apparently the photo failed security checks 🤷‍♂️

What browsers have you tested this with?

Is this across multiple devices, or with a single device?

I had a similar issue a while back with another site- I found that it was a browser settings issue issue.

being that this site works with a VPN i suspect a crappy ISP DNS resolver.

you can test 2 ways, either...

open a command prompt and type... 

ping arcadecontrols.com

it should start returning replies from the site ip address 74.208.43.115. if it does not reply or it times out... type...

ping 74.208.43.115

you should get replies now.

OR you can test by...

open your web browswer and type in "arcadecontrols.com" if it fails, try typing in 74.208.43.115 (arcadecontrols network IP address)

in either case...if you can connect to the ip address but not the URL, change your DNS. your ISP DNS resolver has something messed up. change to cloudflares 1.1.1.1 (1.0.0.1 secondary) or googles 8.8.8.8 (8.8.4.4 secondary) you should change your DNS anyway. ISP's are notorious for blocking stuff and saying they don't and they will also store where you go, cloudflare does not. (google does track, but you can go in your google account and set it to purge it on the regular automatically.)
