Title: What are the set-up stages for GM?
Post by: ArcadeSpirit on October 02, 2015, 12:51:48 pm

Hello everybody and firstly I would just like to say how excited I am to be part of this really exciting and growing community. I have been searching for some time now looking for the best way to emulate arcade games on a CRT with the best results.

To cut this short I am looking at installing the software I need to do this. I am just a little confused with what I need to install on my system. I have Win 7 32bit with an ATI Radeon card. I have read through the Arcade controls Wiki and I want to know, do I need to install the Linux based software or can I just use the Win 32 based software.

Sorry I am very new to all this but I trying very hard to understand it all at once.

Thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Hello,

No Linux is not a requirement.

Did you have a look here already?

Thanks for the speedy reply, yes I have had a look at these pages but I just want to know what order I need to learn how to install what I need on my system. I am not asking for explanations to these processes I will find out myself from post threads. I just need a point in the right direction to get myself going.

For example just a simple list i.e:

1. Install?
2. Install? and so on...

Once I know this I will do all the research and reading to find out what to do.

I am running Win 7 32bit and planning to use my CRT PC monitor.

All or any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks everyone, going to getting reading and researching now and if I do become stuck along the way I will give you all a shout.

Exciting stuff all this, love the classics from back in the day and I am so grateful to all the people who have developed and keep developing all this wonderful software for us Arcade gamers to enjoy  ;D

This is for all the Devs and Admins that have made this possible, (you know who you are) :cheers:
