Cassidy Nolen Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Hows this for sprucing up the dead? Built a Star Wars MAME cabinet. Its the real cabinet, glass, yoke, you get the picture. Then I used a 19 inch SVGA monitor that already was made for mounting in an arcade, a Pentium 4 950mhz Celeron system, 64 megs ram, CDROM, floppy and a 2 Gig hard drive all mounted in the coin box. Power supply mounts on the back of the coin box. So far, the only things I had to modify from the original cabinet are the two pots in the controllers, and a few holes for the components on the metal coin bucket. Now it plays SW, ESB and ROTJ FLAWLESSLY and uses a set of 40 Watt speakers for the sounds. This thing is more fun to play than my real SW! Neat project and glad it is done. Anyone know how I install a front end so it boots into the emulator rather than me going to windows with a mouse and finding MAME 32?

Put a shortcut to MAME in your startup group. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinvader Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 You can do it one of two ways; as mitch said, and set MAME32 to allow joystick selection or you can change around your autoexe.bat so a DOS version of MAME runs straight off from start-up without even opening windows, thats how I do it with the cabinet I'm making at the moment.
