I have a few setups of batocera and even more of retropie. going with RetroBat  or big box on this one.
Honestly . I think I enjoy tinkering the most.
Till Windows 10 is supported. After that Linux. Mint most likely

Batocera is a nice all-in-one linux system if you are looking at an arcade emulation type setup

Any updates? I'm looking to build my own ICB and this is the best place for info I could find online

(I made an account just to check in on this thread lol)

when I launch the game, only the background is visible, none of the characters or enemies show up. The 4 player version works fine.  I'm running mame 150 because that's what I had on my other cabinet. Is there something I need to do to get this working?

MAMEInfo.dat shows missing sprites that Hap fixed in v0.151 and several other improvements since.

- 0.250: Osso fixed corrupt or invisible sprites in clones X-Men (6 Players ver ECB) and X-Men (6 Players ver UCB).
. . .
- 0.223: Fixed some gfx issues in clone X-Men (6 Players ver ECB) [dink/fbneo]. Use shared_ptr_array [hap].
. . .
- 0.151: hap fixed missing sprites in clones X-Men (6 Players ver ECB) and (6 Players ver UCB).

Just ran a quick test with "xmen6pu" (6 Players ver UCB) in both MAMEUIFX 0.152 and mainline v0.262 using the v0.152 ROMs.  Video option "Dual Side-By-Side (Gapless)" looks great on a widescreen TV.  All you have to do is map the controls.

I put my 4 player pedestal cabinet in storage because it took up a lot of space and my kid's never really played it anymore. I just remodeled my 2 player cabinet and it reignited my obsession with arcade games. Since I had a bunch of extra controls lying around, I decided to 3d print some arcade stick enclosures and made a set of 6 arcade sticks that I can connect to a mini PC that it connected to my main TV. This way I can sit on the couch with a joystick on my lap and play mame games. Since I have 6 of these controllers, I thought it would be fun to be able to play 6 player X-Men. However when I launch the game, only the background is visible, none of the characters or enemies show up. The 4 player version works fine.  I'm running mame 150 because that's what I had on my other cabinet. Is there something I need to do to get this working?

Cool I printed the entire documents section off the site and what it says and what you posted are two very different methods.

I will try the one you linked to.

Thank for the help guys I am lost up to now but going to give that set of directions a try now.

the widest LCD you can fit in an MK cab horizontally, is 28"

Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but I am trying to do exactly what you have in this picture. Can you provide more info on how you mounted the 28" lcd monitor in the cabinet as shown in the pic? TIA!

With pinball machines, it's always the connectors.  You may need to trim back some of the wire to get to good copper, too.  When you switch over to LEDs there's going to be less strain on that board.  And you're not going to leave it on 24/7 for 10 years, so that will help.  Best arcade time of my life was when my apartment bumped my rent $50/month and went to "free electricity."  Thermostat sat on 68 and the games never turned off.  Fun times.
