Re: Why buy a board when you can mame??
Bare Knuckle 3 on MAME...
Back when I had a MAME setup (just a Shuttle PC connected via S-video to a nice CRT TV with a digital comb filter, so it was very nice 480i ****) I didn't have any fancy frontend, just a regular MAME32 on the XP classic desktop. I ended up setting the font of the gamelist pretty huge so that I wouldn't have so many games that a scrollbar would appear on the window. I think I had 7 games max.

Emulation's nice when done well

I have inadvertently assembled a complete ROM set for MAME 159. Not got all the CHDs though

Seeing as I've failed rather badly at getting a proper mame setup over the past few years, and don't fully understand the above, I'll be kindly requesting some advice from your good self and any other mame veterans at Mr Ralph's meat.cools wrote:I have inadvertently assembled a complete ROM set for MAME 159.

Re: Why buy a board when you can mame??
I've just bit the bullet and bought some parts for a MAME build
The plan is to build/configure something that I can use in my Astro, NAC and the HD VT4 cab. I'm going to put it in a traditional Mini-ATX case so I can swap it between the cabs easily and also plug it into my TV for playing Steam games on the couch.
I was thinking of installing GroovyArcade to a USB drive for MAME and then installing Windows 7 to the SSD for Steam etc, the idea being that with the USB drive in it would boot to MAME or with it pulled out it would boot to Windows.... or is there a better way?

Just put Win7 on there. GroovyArcade isn't as good.

I can't make it over as we've got a wedding to go to in Ireland.
So GroovyMAME can be installed on Windows 7 fine now? I've bought a JPAC and a HD4890 if that makes a difference. I think I have a JammASD V2 somewhere too if that would be better.

Re: Why buy a board when you can mame??
Yes, its flawless now. I need to do a guide really. If you use Attract Mode as the front end you can even have Steam games shown as well.

Wow, praise indeed!
I'm sure many would appreciate a setup guide, myself included.

If you are considering to build GroovyMame setups, you should also consider:
- instant sheller to remove any sing of the underlying windows.

- Windows EWF to enable you to switch off cab anytime without degrading the installed files (this is what Type X2 systems do)

Instant sheller won't help with Win7, there's a permanent message on the background due to what the driver requires.

My hope is still on a proper fpga implementation with 15k video. Judging by the current state of affairs i'm not holding my breath

Re: Why buy a board when you can mame??
I am afraid I am using it with windows XP only. It works flawless, but I have no experience with win7-mame.

I have no expeperience with w7 and emulators, but this user seems to combine instant sheller and W7:cools wrote:Instant sheller won't help with Win7, there's a permanent message on the background due to what the driver requires.

With a lot of games there is no difference between the PCB and the Mame version.
Games like Arkanoid, Tetris, Ghouls n Ghosts, old 80s stuff plays 99,9% identical!

Re: Why buy a board when you can mame??
my vision of it :
Boards :
switch on --> play ---> loose ---> retry --> enjoy to get better and finally 1cc the game.
Mame:
Switch on --> wait ----> (try to) select a game ---> play ---> loose ----> (try to) select another game ---> loose ---> (try to) select another game ---> switch off.
Boards :
switch on --> play ---> loose ---> retry --> enjoy to get better and finally 1cc the game.
Mame:
Switch on --> wait ----> (try to) select a game ---> play ---> loose ----> (try to) select another game ---> loose ---> (try to) select another game ---> switch off.
