Decisions Decisions - Driver MAME vs Paperboy Restore
ahofle:
I voted Paperboy restore. One of my all time favorite games: great soundtrack, unique controller that can't be easily replicated, good original gameplay. Do you already have the medium resolution monitor then? That seems to be the biggest problem with restoring those machines.

I have a non-working medium res in the cab...and the boards only click i a loop. I have a Bob Roberts yoke repair kit for the monitors chassis already. I even have new vinyl and side art coming in the mail next week. I figured once I rebuild the monitor and get it running, perhaps something on-screen will help me in determining what I should do with the PCBs.
On the other hand I have the Pole Position cab, the Throttle/Break setup, the 4-way stick and even all the encoders necessary to run it all... All I need is to drop the Vision Pro I have sitting here in to the cab and build a PC for it....OR buy a 21" PC monitor, decase it, and drop IT in. I still haven't decided if I want to go authentic with a standard res monitor or go with the PC monitor enabling me to play some decent PC driver games too...
TOK:
I chose the Paperboy restoration because I think racing games is one of the areas where MAME is weak. There is such an wide variety of steering setups that it's tough to play them all correctly with a single setup.
If it was a sit down cab with a Logitech G25 and shifter for rFactor and Need For Speed type stuff, I'd opt for that.

Don't forget that you can also run the PC racing games at 640x480 interlaced with the CGA monitor. You may even be able to do 800x600 interlaced with some size adjustments. Not exactly HD or anything, but it would look pretty good I think.
