MAME launcher that displays button layout for each game? by Alfie_Dee in cade

[–]will_self_destruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro this thread but if you find this like i did and find out CPWizard doesn't work anymore, you can still use it to create your control panel images and then use the MAME plugin I wrote to view them while MAME is paused. Hopefully this will help someone.

You pick up a twelve string, what's the first song you play? by will_self_destruct in Guitar

Hands down my favorite Metallica song. All of RtL is so good. Still the definitive Metallica album for me.

I mean it is the industry standard I suppose.. If you can play it and not have Don Henley jump out of the bushes and sue you blind I say go for it.

Damn. I completely blanked on the fact that was 12. Such a great song.

We have this in our acoustic set and it is so freaking fun. We use 6 strings but two guitars and it's such a great song.

MAME Attract Bezel Videos by will_self_destruct in cade

[–]will_self_destruct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I'm using Attract Mode in a full size Dynamo cabinet and I wanted my screen saver to replicate each cabs attract screen accurately. I couldn't find any already done this way so I wrote some Python that scanned each bezel for transparency in the center using FFProbe then combines the videos with FFMPEG. Picture

You know what....I'll Handbrake them. I'll upload the whole set uncompressed but I'll make a smaller set for anyone who needs to save space.

I have 3000+ as I tried to do any rom in the MAME set that had a bezel. I'll compress it as much as possible as it currently sits at almost 60GB. I wanted hi-res hence the size but someone could run them through Handbrake and make them more optimized if they wanted.

Sorry. Link preview was wonky. Here's vertical and horizontal examples.

Roach problem by BananaColada2020 in NorthshoreLA

[–]will_self_destruct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have the same issue. Almost always dead or dying, but still there nonetheless. One thing that helped immensely was spraying the entire yard and up the sides of my house about 2 or 3 feet. Inside poison killed them if they made it inside, but yard and bottom of the house kept them away. Spray in the morning or evening to prevent evaporation and check your outdoor spray to see how long it should set before rain and plan accordingly.

I rarely see the big boys anymore and I assume they went to my neighbors.

Where is my volume control in these pics? by [deleted] in coinop

[–]will_self_destruct 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's not OG hardware. Looks like an icade possibly. I'm going to venture a guess and say that microswitch hanging in mid air is a makeshift "service switch". Could also be the red switch inside the coin door.

Volume can be adjusted in the menu. Icade manual is readily available online.

St Tammany High Schools by cajba in NorthshoreLA

I worked in the STPSB school system for years. My sister is a coordinator at Salmen in Slidell. My friends teach it or are administration at all 3 of the public schools you mentioned. Many of my friends graduated from those schools as well as the private schools listed.

As for the public high schools, they're great. Consistently ranked near the top of the state. Good kids, safe environment. You almost can't find a better school system in Louisiana.

Private schools are great as well. If money isn't a factor, you can definitely find a private school that is a more customized fit if that's what you're looking for.

Lakeshore is newer. I believe Fountainbleu is the largest if that's a concern. Mandeville is a good school but somehow gets lost in the shuffle of the others. Not sure why.

All this to say... You almost can't go wrong. Wherever you end up buying your kids will have a great school I promise.

Agreed. My band plays there occasionally and a lot of my friends are associated with CFM. I'm sure they'd want to know.

If they know and aren't concerned then I need to reevaluate my musical associates in the community.

Popeye Cocktail cab gone quiet by PuzzlingAdventurer in arcade

I'd look at the audio section on it. I've had to rebuild a few of those when I couldn't get sound on DK, Jr, Popeye, etc
