MacMAME OS 8.6 *Now w/ pics* ha!

<< < (2/5) > >>

gnateye:
im runnin 2 cabs with old beige G3 300mhz macs running os 8.6 i use macmame .57 with no issues. in fact it runs better than the 750mhz g4 i tried to upgrade too.

one of my cabs is a cocktail; in macmame you can set the games to be in "cocktail" mode it does the screen flipping (in the games that work) automatically, however with my setup the main screen and mame gui are still horizontally oriented while the games play vertically, so i have to turn my head sideways to pick my game...

not a big deal really IMHO.


let me know if you have any more macmame questions i can try to help
heres a link to some pics

Thanks for the info and links, great pics and stuff.
I have a feeling I'll have some more questions so thanks for willing to help.

cheers

Since you're using the classic OS, take advantage of the Launcher.  Set MacMame as the default app for .zip files, then put shortcuts to all your ROMs in the Launcher Items folder.  I had mine in alphabetized subfolders.  I also had an Other Apps subfolder with things like iTunes (4) in it.

Best MacMame interface by far.

Thanks for the tips MinerAl.

I still haven't figured out the 2-player cocktail video setting. 
I think I need a newer version (than 0.36) but I could just be  :banghead:

cheers

Yep, got it. Thanks again.

I thought there was some way to manually set the screen size.  I can only get a 2X (kinda small) and 3X (too big).

While figuring out the cocktail setting and trying to get a rotated "full screen", I changed a menu setting so that when I hit return on the keyboard the volume bar pops up...arrrgghhh
back to tab menu but can't select any menu items, only scroll up and down with errors.  wtf???
just venting here.
