My new candy cabinet project

<< < (10/14) > >>

Vigo:
I have only played Ikaruga on disc on a dreamcast. Is it really easier to put a DC in a cab than playing on NullDC? I have never gotten NullDC to work well for me, but thought it was only Operator error. Is it that NullDC doesn't work easily enough, or that you just need a faster computer?

Original hardware means 100% perfect, lag free playback without the hassle of configuring/troubleshooting emulators + the Dreamcast has a small footprint/stays cool, making it ideal to install in an arcade cabinet.

Trust me, A DC connection is definitely going to be in the works. Im more or less hurrying things together for my birthday party in a week and a half. Im turning the big 3-0 and having a lot of people over After that Ill take my pace, build a beefy rig computer and then get to building an adaptive controls for Dreamcast/360/etc. I got Franco to build me a ready made Jamma rig to my specifications and then Im going to use the cabinets original wiring to do console stuff.


Franco - yeah, it looks like its been touring around New York state for some reason. Im sure it will be here by the weekend which gives me plenty of time to get this and then my atomiswave setup going. Cant wait to get on my Do Don and my Metal Slug 6!

RyogAkari:
Wires came in today but I wont get a chance to mess with them until Sunday.  :angry:

RyogAkari:



Terrible picture I know. Spliced Phono/RCA wires and seperated out the ground and feed line and then soldered them to a pin strip. I then proceeded to cover the exposed wires and end of the pinstrip I had soldered to with hot glue, or as I like to think of it: Poor Man's Heat Shrink. It was mostly to strengthen the connector so that if need be it can be pulled without much second thought.



Minimaid, my JAMMA interface hooked up. Also special thanks to Franco B who made me the JAMMA side connector with the quick disconnects allowing me to run wire to the control panel.



Preliminary MALA setup. Cloud background. Machine is named Blue October Sky. Marquee/flyer/video sample placement. Love the video samples. It makes it so clean.

Im basically done except for mounting the computer and Minimaid and a few things here and there.

Anyone with knowledge of MALA, is there anyway I can make a button setup where I can do somethin glike press start 1 and 2 together to exit out of a game but not exit out of MALA? It doesnt have to be those two buttons. Maybe start A, B, C, or just whatever. I just need an option to exit out of the game and not out of MALA. Right now I have Esc exiting out of MALA and it also exits out of the game. Anyone familiar with what i might do? I just dont want there to but a joystick/button option for exiting out of Mala basically.
