All you need now is someone to come up the A1 and show you how to use it.

Even then, all you need to do is reselect your video and audio settings, as it's hdmi, it'll automatically offer/switch into the best mode anyway.

Thats superb, you jammy sod. Shame the JVS-PAC doesn't work with linux, that would be handy for playing verts on my naomi cab

I wonder if we could bribe invzim to look into it?

Very cool, I would gladly give capcom a bunch of jvs-pacs for a vewlix - that you got one must mean it's semi-endorsed

I actually never tested the PS3 firmware under linux, but the normal MAME version is well tested (and working).

Good job I have a large ps3 hd!

Links to good distro for emulation welcome! (given that linux is generally free legally)

Good link, ta. Yeah I used Yellowdog when I once tried it for the sake of it, but I was looking for a well crafted "distro of choice" for emulation. I should try to get a ps3 vga lead though, going component->vga box->cab isn't ideal (although it did work at 576p when i had a sanwa chassis, but I have a Rodotron now, so who knows?)

My limit there is saying "**** off linux". Thats as far as my "skill" goes.

You confuse me for a windows user

And I'm not running servers

Mac OS is Linux based isn't it?

I just use XP. Linux is too much fannying about for me.

I emailed Capcom yesterday politely asking for more free things...(honestly they said they would do it previously so I was just reminding them). Apparently they are using the exact same set-up as I have within Capcom offices and they love it, so the JVS-PAC is endorsed by-proxy, lol I dont even know if they realise they have it, I'll try to drop its name in my next mail to them.

The system must be a handy and cool test base. They are sticking an early build of MvC2 on it. The Demo is really cool (cue obligatory Vewlix pic).

As for the raging linux debate. Yellow Dog works pretty well I think, other than the utter stupidity of WPA not working after install (although there is a work around...which begs the question why they don't implement it in the install package). After fiddling with the MAME settings it runs old school games OK and looks pretty good too. If they ever get the PS3's GFx hardware working well I think it would run very well. That said I'm going to install Ubuntu shortly since I've used it in the past and its way more user friendly than yellow dog, I just assumed since YDL is build from the groud up for PS3 it would be better....

If invzim would consider getting the PS3 firmware to work in Linux, it would be a big plus for me personally.

, The JVS-PAC is an amazing piece of kit BTW.

Eventually however I'm thinking I would buy a Dual Core (Atom), 3D accelerated (Nvidia ION, GeForce 9400M) Acer Revo, which is apparently coming out in June. That's assuming the CPU can handle something more than the single core atoms.

Im jealous of everything you have there... with the exception of playing bionic commando with a digital arcade stick

LOL admittedly its unplayble with the arcade stick...plus it took 15 muinutes to get the minimum amount of ppl for a multiplayer game....

Is it possible to connect a Nintendo Wii to the Vewlix?

Haha, I just imagined how stupid it must look having someone waggling with a Wiimote on their Vewlix...

I'd been designing a full console SFIV moves list for my Vewlix for a while since there was never one designed in English and the one Capcom gave me (which I assume they used during their SFIV tour) was OK (it was in blue and only used up 75% of the lit moves holder thingy) I wanted to have a decent one so at least my friends (and girlfriend) couldn't say I hadn't shown them the moves

.

I finally managed to get it printed since I was trying to find somewhere cheap who would print it to my perfect size.

I know its not original or anything but I think its a good effort overall and thought peeps might like a look.

Really nice. I was thinking of doing that myself. Nice one.

Any chance of putting up a high res version?
