Despite the small library, it's one most people just don't want to deal with at all, so it does kind of pop there in red. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a Neo MVS one be do-able, I think a sweet NG arcade cabinet icon would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,727 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 All of the icons look awesome. I also like the slightly larger size compared to NA. Although I'm wondering if I'll change my mind once it's more common for members to have several across each post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can aways adjust the amount of icons shown. Right now it's capped at 10. You'll have to go to a users profile to see all their awards past that.

RH | 4,895 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Additional, non-set related charm suggestions. It'd be nice to get some again for proto owners, (legit) arcade cabinets and maybe even a pinball one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it was a choice to have a cleaner layout on mobile. On Android, it doesn't show baubles, charms, or an outline box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I figured if you/someone had a non-functional but legit cabinet which they wanted to restore, then in my book, that'd count. But to take an old unit and convert it into a MAME cabinet?! ...well, to me that's like getting the body of an original Lamborghini Countach and shoving a Jetta engine in the thing.

I considered saying a Civic engine but I figured I take an engine from the same general region of the globe and get one that could have a little bit of pep. But with that said, @darkchylde28 if that's your legit goal, that's cool. In fact, if I had a roached cab that had a good shell, I myself would probably consider doing the same thing. It just wouldn't be my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thing is, I've owned it since the game was still available. I was working in my local mall and the manager of the arcade had completely gutted the cabinet and came upstairs to ask if I wanted it, otherwise he was going to break it into pieces and pitch it into the dumpster. So, the following day, my dad and I showed up in a truck he'd borrowed from a friend and toted it home so I could build a MAME cabinet, and it's sat there ever since. It's basically undamaged, with the print on the sides mostly unstained and undamaged save a single scratch on one side. No hardware inside whatsoever, though, and no marquee overlay. I mean, if somebody really wanted it, I'd be willing to swap it out for a similar sized full size cabinet (so long as it's undamaged), but at present my plan includes leaving it mostly as-is, leaving the original graphics intact and doing minimal modification inside to mount a shelf for a monitor, etc. Honestly, I'd have had this done a couple of years ago except for the fact that I couldn't figure out how to get any of the Raspberry Pi MAME bundles to automatically launch into the emulator, something that's important to my setup, as it's currently going to be for both myself and my now-preschool aged son to use (don't want to have him not be able to get to the games immediately or mess something up by going into menus he shouldn't). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't, specifically due to the limitations in what you can connect it to display-wise, likely difficulty in connecting home built arcade controls to one, etc. The reason I started tinkering with the Pi was primarily how little overhead (power and space) it had while still being able to do the job and being simple to connect all the home-built arcade hardware up to (working coin doors in addition to home build controller boards). I could swap over to a small form factor PC, I suppose, but I'm still left in the position of not knowing or understanding how to get any of the various MAME GUIs set up to boot automatically, display screenshots, etc. Last I looked (which, admittedly, has been at least a couple of years), all of the various places on the internet discussing such things had still failed to put together an end to end guide on how everything worked and how to set it up and highly criticized anyone who, like me, didn't understand everything, and went asking for how to do it. Now with two little ones instead of just one, I really don't have the time or patience to deal with that type of folk, so the project is still stalled until I either stumble across the solution (most likely through somebody finally making a "dummies" guide or a pre-built setup) or finally finding the time to properly study, learn, and understand the gibberish bits of documentation out there on the setup.
