What's new in Switchres 2.21f (August 2025)

 - [nogpu] Fix audio on mono sources.

I wasn't happy with Wii mote setup so I bought chinese guns made for gun4ir software.

Quality is really good and gun works out of the box so if You are not planning to re-calibrate or re-configure it might works without software.

Likewise.

So I took an hour or so tonight to go ahead and see how badly outrun tweaks broke my fxt and to my surprise... not that much at all!   Xinput works, FF should work, all my control hacks should work and the overlay still works....
99% of the memory locations are also still in the same place, I think I found two or three that need changed.


The issue is window focus.... obviously the tweaks wrapper is doing hooking of its own and that is interfering with xinput rumble and controls provided by my wrapper.   If you click on any window generated by fxt (including the overlay) my stuff works.  The problem is outrun doesn't respond to controls unless it has focus, so it doesn't really work properly.   The good news is this is fixable... I'll just have to find the time to do it.   I also need to strip away features related to putting my own HD hud in place as well as a few redundant features like the horn.   

Even though tweaks has xinput rumble I prefer my version.  Looking at the source it isn't mixing various sources like mine and is instead using the xbox rumble, which isn't exactly complete.  This is all stuff that could be added into tweaks though.   Assuming the author is ok with it the end goal should probably be to merge the two programs.  This is something I would be glad to work on but again, finding the time is the issue.   

So you've done a model in ZBrush and then... can you provide some details around how you cut/fabricated the forms. Clean work BTW, looks good.

That is super cool.

Those bezel are the reason I'm still using retroarch on my cab.
I would like to use Mame for a more accurate emulation and better performance but I'm too addicted to RA shaders, and especially the reflective TV bezel.

Hope you'll make a tutorial on how to set this up.

made an account to reply here..

if your desctop resolution isnt in the dafault available resolutions, (example, you created a 4:3 1400x1050 resolution using nvidias custom resolutions tool for an arcade cabinet.) mame will fail to render the window and will spit out a directx error.

if you absolutley need to make a custom resolution for your cabinet, edit the edid data your pc sees for your monitor so that resolution becomes a default resolution or preferably the native resolution.
the easiest way to do that is to use CRU (custom resoltion utility)

just had the same issue exactly as i described above. and thats how i fixed it..
The strange thing is, it worked fine when i set it up last week, but then we went on a long weekend trip so i powered the cabinet down.. when i came back mame had the above errors. (i knew i had the runtimes installed. but installed them again along with gpu drivers and other runtimes i knew i needed.
Finally i decided it had to be the resolution, and when i saw it wasnt available as an option in mame i figured out what the issue was.

so there ya go. hope that helps people, you dont need to reinstall your OS.

OMG ! thats it !

I have this exact problem.

I'm using a 4k TV with a custom resolution for years (1728 x 2160, the TV is verticaly placed in my cabinet and I'm only using the center part.)
I've alway used the nvidia custom resolution to do so.

I've tried you CRU software, but I can't make it work too:
I've made my custom resolution in CRU, and the windows desktop is working fine.
But as soon as I launch MAME, the TV goes black, then says "no signal"

With a remote control VNC, I can see that MAME is running on my screen, and as soon as I exit MAME, the desktop come back on the TV.

Appreciate the feedback 

I like the top now so calling that done.

Tried to incorporate the logo a little better into the front of the CP which I agree still needs some work:

Moire

I finally had some time to look at this.

R74A was measuring at 61Ohms and it should be 68 Ohms. I also noticed it had heat damage, so its replacement will be 5W instead of 2W. I also noticed a couple of the Nichicons that went in previously were a tad leaky, so they'll be replaced. I'm also replacing all the film caps with high quality Panasonic parts.

The main culprit looks to be a fried MOSFET Q31 in the horizontal section. All three pins were shorted and there was some heat damage. I tested all components in the region and they were fine, but I'm putting in some better ceramic caps (C73) and a higher quality MOSFET.

Fingers crossed!
