| |
|
| |
| Performance woes with SDLMAME in fullscreen.
| |
| * tried a fresh PC with oodles of CPU/RAM - same result!
| |
| * registered on SDLMAME forum but registration needs approval - still waiting
| |
| * posted findings on MAME subreddit - general advice is "you need a much faster PC/GFX card to run SDLMAME these days"
| |
| * need to obtain and drop back to ancient xmame version
| |
| * find or make a slimmer case for new PC
| |
|
| |
| Update 12/10/2012
| |
| * xmame (0.106-3.2 from http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/xmame I think) installed from the Debian package
| |
| * scaling problems again and now ALSA sound issues which might be down to the slow video rate
| |
| * a lot of messing around found a good video setup:
| |
| ** xmame -video-mode 1 -fullscreen -fm 640x480x16 defender
| |
| * still need to work on the video modes and the general settings for performance
| |
| * wahcade setup required
| |
| * keyboard setup for all games

| ** recover games (and most importantly, the high scores) from the dead laptop
| |
| *** HDD totally dead :( Need to obtain ROM sets again
| |
| ** mamed front end http://phulshof.home.xs4all.nl/mame.html - compile and tweak
| |
| ** better linux distro base - have kubuntu 7.10 - want Knoppix 6
| |
| ** rewire controls matrix - should take a couple of hours

| Update: 22/07/2011
| |
|
| |
| I have now replaced the replacement PC!
| |
| Seems to work mostly but some full system freezes have happened :(
| |
|
| |
| MAMED has now been built and it works! After all these years the SDL libs are still compatible.
| |
|
| |
| The keyboard controller seems to work!
| |
|
| |
| * more button wiring to do
| |
| * more tweaking of mamed config
| |
| * more USB PlayStation2 contollers on the way
| |
|
| |
| TODO: [[User:Msemtd|Michael Erskine]] 09:06, 7 December 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| * replace LAN cable run from members room
| |
| * minimal Xorg server installation with BlackBox window manager or equivalent
| |
| ** replace GDM with straight startx as low-permissions user
| |
| ** replace XFCE with plain X init straight into mamed front end
| |
| * screen bezel fitting
| |
| ** mark screen geometry when bezel fitted and screen in position
| |
| ** router work on sizing and chamfer
| |
| ** blackout tape and foam padding
| |
|
| |
| Update: 05/04/2012
| |
|
| |
| The machine is now in the studio (again!) and we have a working PC with a recent Xubuntu, functional mame install and all three DVDs of ROMs installed. The next stage is to get the mamed front-end starting automatically as an unprivileged user.
| |
|
| |
| * Where I would previously have just used inittab, Ubuntu now uses upstart: -
| |
| ** https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
| |
| ** http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
| |
| * so we could have xdm (or equivalent) auto-login as the mame user and have their xinit launch mamed as the only X client
| |
| ** create user and give access to all the files required

Giving tours around the hackspace takes time and effort.
So the obvious solution is to build a robot to do it.
Here are the details and build log.
Start 27/11/13
Basic base is the blue robot from Real Robots Magazine. I got this from a car boot sale and, at the first Arduino 101 day I fixed my arduino base to the robot.
