Greetings all,
I've been a long time lurker here reaping the benefits of all your discussions and projects. Figured it's time to start contributing a bit myself.
I'm currently midway through my second Mame project, tentatively named "Deus Ex Machina," which I will try to document here as best I can while I finish it up.
Here are some rough details of the project (nothing too groundbreaking):
- Upright, 2-player fighter style with Jukebox controls, designed and built from scratch
- Interfaced via USB gamepad hacks (player controls) and a keyboard hack (jukebox controls)
- 4 player PS2 controller port bay in front for emulated console action
- Windows based with Mamewah frontend
- 24" flat screen TV with S-video for monitor
- 2 Happ Competition Joysticks, 7 button configuration, Happ 12 key and triangle buttons for Jukebox controls
I'll add more as i have time.
I'm attaching the plans I designed in Autocad if anyone's interested. It's all kind of tentative, though. I'm more of a "build by the seat of my pants" kind of person!
I'm currently working on my marquee and CP artwork which I will eventually post for some feedback/criticism.
Also, thanks to everyone who posts on here for inspiring and figuring out/explaining just about everything I've needed regarding mame!
