Title: Anyone remember MAMEWIC from a couple months ago? Spinning wheel FE...
Post by: soslo on November 19, 2003, 04:01:59 pm
That was a cool looking FE - simple, pretty...like the multicade machines.

I was just looking through my files and found a video clip of it in action. It looked really nice. I can send the file via email if you want it. I can't host it. 727kb

Us developers haven't heard from him either.  It might be that he lost interest.

while running ultrastyle? that sounds weird because fe's halt themselves when launching a game and dont take away any noticable cycles away from the emulator.

Nope.. but chris (i assume the creator of ultrastyle) is looking into it.. he says it SHOULD NOT be effecting it "that" much..

yes it has...completely differently implemented then the ones in 3darcade and ultrastyle though...it arranges bitmaps in a wheel like fashion...you can if i remember correctly set the number of sprockets and the width of the wheel.

Peale your Avatar reminds me of that Suzanne Somers Thigh Master. What is this one called ? T!ts Master ?  :laugh:

Peale, you might as well remove the avatar.  Either it's really distracting or 95% of the board is comprised of 13 year old boys. 

You'd think people had never seen a good looking woman before.

Oh boy. I still feel bad for abandoning this project.

Ultrastyle looks awesome though, so maybe it was for the best :D

Post by: Howard_Casto on December 21, 2004, 01:17:22 pm
Agreed.  I had planned on adding a wheel myself since 3darcade is different than the average fe and the kymaera wheel was flat (I prefer 3d models)  but after I saw ultrastyle I decided it wasn't worth it.  No point re-inventing the wheel.  *pun intended*
