Some general quesitons about first MAME cabinet setup

<< < (7/7)

Umgar:
OK, here's the video I promised. Hopefully this helps. Apologies for the length (7:30). Longer than I intended but I wanted to make sure I did a thorough explanation. I owe beers to whoever can show me what I'm doing wrong  8)

M.Lanza:
I'm not sure if you've figured it out since you made your video,
But the reason why it's probably not working is because you don't
have a power source connected to it.

The jpac draws power from the computers PS/2 port.

Nice catch.

Umgar:
Officially feel retarded now.  :embarassed:

Am at work but will plug that in when I get home. If that turns out to be the only issue... well... at least it was easy  :laugh2:

Umgar:
Whew, been a while. The un-powered JPAC was definitely the problem. I have things looking great now :)

Lanza, PM me a shipping address and your favorite beer. I am a man of my word  :cheers:

Thanks all for the help! I am having some issue getting certain games to run in MAME but 95% sure this is a software issue, I'm going to start a separate thread on that and will come back and link once up.
