Wincab and mame at the same tiem - possible??

(1/3) > >>

eggedd2k:
just downloaded wincab for my mame cabinet.  it would be great if i could run wincab at the same time as playing a game on mame (with no sound from mame).

is this possible using just the basic controls on the mame control panel?

Chris:
MAME and WinCab will both play sound at the same time, although it's possible that your results may vary based on your sound card's mixer.   (Note that I haven't tested this since about beta 4, so there's a possibility that changes in MAME or WinCab make this no longer true... I'll check it out when I get home.)
 To get WinCab playing with no sound in MAME, you'll have to disable the sound in MAME.

WinCab can adapt to just about any control configuration, even down to a Pac-Man machine with a single joystick and a start button. Tell me what controls you have and what type of monitor you're running and I can make more specific suggestions.

eggedd2k:
control panel has two joysticks, six buttons for each player plus 1 and 2 player start buttons.

surely the difficult part is going to be disabling the sound in mame, then going back into wincab and then back into mame - without a keyboard

Thenasty:
why not just dire up winamp and put your TONS of song on the playlist and run MAME ? You sre making it to hard on your self...

Chris:
He still has the same issue if he wants MAME to be silent while the music plays. But you can disable MAME's sound in mame.ini, can't you?

Have you tried listening to them both together?  For games without background music, I don't think the sound effects are going to detract from the music that much...
