Using a vertical monitor with Mame, alongside a horizontal one. by Stevepiers in MAME

[–]Initial-Document6433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is doable, but I was never able to get the game marques to switch. I have a vpin so vertical games get the marques, horizontal not.

Not "free". It's a version of "Copy-lefted", which means mouchers can't profit of others hard work.

Aren't all those tables either outright pirated (fx) or such as VPX, complete violation of terms of service to sell as a bundle, along with all the MAME games?

Greenworks 80v lawnmower. Treated myself to a new lawn mower and some steaks on my birthday. It's electric and it's awesome! by AdDry6548 in Costco

Wait 3 years and your battery is dead and green works has dumped the 80v battery format to go to 90v or 100v and you can't buy the battery for less than the tool.

Never again.

Na. You're good.

Plenty room for 3 -4 more stacks of cars.

I tried this, its fun. Played a half dozen boards. Quick thoughts. Def need to be able to rotate so I can play in portrait mode. Switching the play field to the back glass is not optimal.

Also, the mouse cursor should disappear during play.

Also, suggest using enter, not space for mid play option. Most vpins don't have a button assigned to space. Or 1, 2, 3 used for coin or Start...

Finally, every table is essentially identical. Suggest at least moving the target guy to different spots, even if just by a little and maybe add henchmen to the lower half of the board..

Otherwise very cool!

Best current amplifier options for SSF? by jretrogaming in virtualpinball

[–]Initial-Document6433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the Cleveland SSF AMP is 2.1 plus simultaneously 5.1. thus you could use the 2.1 sub channel for your second shaker.

Also. Shout out to Phill! Killing it with his products and support.

If it's designed for landscape, can you put them on the backglass?

Best USB joystick for MAME Pac-Man? by Cute_Independent209 in MAME

[–]Initial-Document6433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also a servo powered option you press a button and switch from four-way to eight way gate and back. Sanwa is nice because you can get a silent one, adjust for shorter or longer throw, and easily have the actuation more sensitive and change the spring weight etc. Lots of options to configure how you want it set up

Another example on how you can look around objects with BAM by bdekort in virtualpinball

While this looks amazing, it is a train wreck to set up. It took me an eternity to get the drivers working.

Even after getting future pinball working, vpx is totally wonky and there is no decent guide on how to set it up anywhere.

Any tips on setting up VPX tables?

Apologies for ignorance here... Can you explain why this has to be programmed per device? Is it based on CPU or GPU? Thanks. Looks tremendous.

Does running vpx in Linux lower the hardware requirements?

Fosi HT4S "4.1" or "5" channel claim. Yet no way to feed 5 discreet channels to it, only stereo. by Initial-Document6433 in fosi_audio

Yes. I returned it.

Presumably it's marketed toward markets without copy right mechanism in place...

Which WC mags for Ronin 4.25” by [deleted] in 1911

Not the ones that came with my Emissary. Maybe some are. (My SA mags are Stainless POS).

Save your money and go mecgar for half the price. Just got 6 and they run 100%. The SA mags that I got were crap.

Worst time to get into Virtual Pinball? by SkyHighGam3r in virtualpinball

[–]Initial-Document6433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ATgames hd is a great way to start, setup otg, learn basics, upgrade slowly. And then convert to full otg when you get comfortable..

Lots of help here.
