Pole Position mame

(1/2) > >>

heinekenlvr:
Hi all,
I am in the process of building a Pole Position mame using a PP cabinet and controls. I am quite familiar with mame32 as this is what I run on a cocktail machine that I have without a front end. My goal with the PP is it will only run verions of PP and PP2. Here is where I need some help. I would like the computer to load directly to a screen where the user would have the ability to choose to play either PP or PP2. Is this where the front end comes in? Can someone please tell me how this is done and whether there is good website that provides instruction? Thanks.

loadman:
Yes that is where a FE comes in.

You can just have two items in the game list selectable via your steering wheel.

MaLa with racing layout:



Other FE's can do this too. 

Check the Wiki:

Let us know if you need help.

You may find that you want to use a FE on your cocktail later on. Mame32 is cool to play/test on a PC but not very sexy on a Cab as it looks too much like windows.

youki:
Or AtomicFE...

Here one layout optimized for Racing cab with game list selectable by steering wheel.

a snapshot.




As most of Fe, you can do your own skin off course.

And as said Loadman, check the wiki for a complete from end list.



heinekenlvr:
Thanks for the help. I really like both of those front ends. I assume they will both work with Mame32??

Havok:
Yes, however I would really recommend command line Mame. Why run two front ends? Your pc will thank you...
