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
- recover games (and most importantly, the high scores) from the dead laptop
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
