I finally got my beast up and running today. Not done yet, but playable





2 player machine, 27" arcade monitor, celeron 900 , 20 gig drive, 398k memory, blah blah blah. Hacked a comp usa trackball(thanks vosko )

and used a keyboard interface to run the sticks and buttons. All working together perfectly thanks to Bill and Windows XP! LOL

Oh yeah, It plays 3260 ACTUAL ARCADE GAMES dating from 1978 till current :bigok:



Tournament anyone ????

What front end do you use to launch with XP.



Mine died when I went to XP.

Not using any front end I just placed a shortcut for mame32 in my startup folder. I can use the mouse or joystick to select a game. I hate dos so I had to sacrafice a snazzy front end for ease and simplicity

i have an xbox,ps2,game cube, playstation, and a 5 disk cd player with dolby digital decoder and 9 speakers hooked up to it (now that is suround sound) the only problem is its hooked up to a 19 inch tv and my room is 9x9 so the speakers are a little bit of over kill
