Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

Given my luck with monitors that wouldn't be such a bad idea!

Might seem a strange request but i am having a new kitchen delivered and need to be able to fit a double oven in a cabinet - the oven i have got coming weighs 51kg. I don't have a clue if i am going to be able to lift it in or not on my own. I have previously been able to lift monitors in and out of...

Grant has repaired quite a few monitors for me and is highly recommended across all the forums...

that is very much what i was after but i have just ordered a SNES pad

Thanks for the post, looks like compatibility may be better than i was expecting - not sure about the NES one but i see they do a SNES style which i fancy, will get one ordered!

Loving playing Mame on my Mac, at the moment I use a PS3 Sixasis, which does the job but i don't find it comfortable and there are some issues as i use the left analogue stick for movement as don't like the d-pad buttons. I am quite taken with some of the arcade-stick setups I see but there are a lo...

not sure i would ever be brave enough to rely on what they 'should' have though - best to take precautions

Unplug from the mains, get a large screwdriver with a rubber handle. Get a decent bit of insulated wire and electrical tape the bare end to the metal on the screwdriver Connect the other bare end of the wire to the metal that goes around the tube, it is usually a bit springy where it comes from the ...

i tried using OpenEmu but i had issues where the rooms i was adding were going into the wrong sections, in other words i would add Atari 5200 games and some would end up in 'arcade' etc

Have been messing with sdlmame the last couple of days and am really impressed - sure it is no Groovymame for the purists, but in terms of actually having a quick few games i think it works great. I am running it via qmc2 and find that stuff that i could never get to run full speed on my pc set-ups,...

Have now done a fresh win 7 install, have also got a graphics card that has only one output - dvi - so hopefully that will help

I know it is a big ask but I really need the most basic step by step guide to getting groovymame up and running using win7 and a Radeon hd3450 card on my arcade monitor - I have set similar systems up before using xo a with varying success but this is killing me! Anyone who can help with this would ...

on my other cab which is vert i am running 480x640 so i should be able to get it...

this is my first try at running win 7 but wish i had stuck with the other setup as i don't think i can install xp on the z97 motherboard...

well i have made a terrible mistake and tried to upgrade my horizontal mame cab with a better pc and have run into some problems that i just can't seem to fix... the new system is a Intel G3258 on a z97 motherboard, running windows 7. i seem to get everything set up ok, install the correct crtemudri...

I'm running the following: Intel G3258 3.2ghz OC'd to 4.5GHz Asus H97 mATX motherboard 4GB Memory 120 SSD Radeon 4550 GPU (Radeon 43XX would work fine too) Windows 7 x64 I can run everything you would possibly want to run in MAME at 100% speed, even Cave games. I'd say this build is perfect for fut...

Why do you compile it chubsta? Any extras compared to the stock one that already has nonag and hiscore support? I would go with Core2, most recent intel CPU. figure that any optimisations are a good thing and can only help it run better, plus its always nice to mess around with stuff, when it works...

[quote="stellarola"] I'm able to run Cave stuff at 100% without dropped frames/audio stutter with my Dual Core G3258 3.2ghz overclocked to 4.5ghz. I don't think the price of a quad core processor is worth it since it makes no speed increases over a fast dual core processor in MAME. The G3258 is very...

my vert cab currently has a c2d 8400 4gb running xp 64 overlocked to 3.6ghz - how much of an improvement do you think i would see with a i5 4670k 8gb ram overlocked to 4.2ghz? Worth the cash or would it not make a massive difference as mame doesn't do much with multi-cores anyway i believe...
