Author Topic: Anyone remember MAMEWIC from a couple months ago? Spinning wheel FE... (Read 3839 times)

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

is the file the animation or the FE?

soslo · « **Reply #2 on:** November 19, 2003, 05:16:50 pm »

animation

the filename is
mamewik_preview.wmv

I tried to get in touch with the author about a month ago, but got no response :/

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

I just watched this again...anyone have any ideas if this ever got off the ground? It looks slick.

You can download it here:

it does exactly reproduce the ultracade fe...but better

the other two with a wheel are kymaera and mine 3darcade ( see 4th last pic here http://3darcade.mameworld.net/frontend/defaultskin.html )

WOAH! it works with mame32.. im in love..

* SOAPboy Is off to set us up the frontend

SOAPboy · « **Reply #12 on:** December 14, 2004, 04:42:27 am »

oooh..

having some serious issues getting this to work..

anyone got a direct HOW TO get this thing working on mame32 and all the supported versions?

SOAPboy · « **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2004, 05:27:44 am »

and.. after some whinning.. it worked magicly..

SOAPboy · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2004, 07:22:58 pm »

and might i add.. FPS drops like a mofo..

UMK3 ran flawless before, now its all 40fps in the char select and as 15 in game.. thats SAD..

)p( · « **Reply #15 on:** December 15, 2004, 03:05:00 am »

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.

yeah i know.. chris is looking into it..

its just amazing if i boot up mame32, itll run Flawless, if i run it from ultra, it grinds to 15fps..

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

Kymaera has a wheel?

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 ?

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #22 on:** December 20, 2004, 03:20:23 am »

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.

I have to be 13 to be destrackbtlldkedoohhh2llloookatthosebeautiesfed

gprime · « **Reply #24 on:** December 20, 2004, 01:13:05 pm »

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

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

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #25 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*
