Home arcade machine revamp

The development pages from some years back: http://www.tecspy.com/arcade

    • 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
    • Noisy fan on PC - heatpipe? ideas please
    • Priority! Gauntlet rev 14 http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=23575

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
  • replace GDM with straight startx as low-permissions user
  • replace XFCE with plain X init straight into mamed front end
