stgdz's showcase build

[stgdz]

So awhile ago I purchased this TV



A 36 WEGA CRT and yes it is a heavy as it is big, but not to bad for 75 bucks.  I configured MAME but didn't put much of and effort to get it up and running.  Well I got laid off earlier this month and now have some time on my hands to get the software side of my project back up running.

I got the PC mounted to a board with almost all the components and I plan on mounting it in near the coin bin under the control panel.  Rite now its just behind the TV up against the wall

An old A7n8x with and XP-M that I can't for the life of me get past 2.0ghz.  The radeon 9000 is connected to it via S-video and the picture is actually pretty decent.


So here is where I am from the software side
-I have two accounts on this computer, admin and the arcade account
-I have blackened out almost everything on the computer, the things that are still grey is the windows bar and the vertical scrolling bar
-MALA auto loads, but its the default screen
-The welcome and log off screens appear with sounds, I have tried to disable them following the wiki and using power toys.


Here are some of my goals though
-Get a different MALA screen, I like this layout http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/d/ddilday13/DSC00306.JPG but I don't see one like that on the MALA site.
-Get ZNES, Genesis and NES working with MALA
-Fix log off and log on screens
-Fix under scan issue http://stgdz.shackspace.com/Shack/Computer/MAME/underscan.JPG
-Get video's for games


I know I am missing some stuff in here but I am trying to approach it from the software first so I can get everything close to running then build the cab and the control panel towards the end.
