    Updated Arcade Cabinet, Arcade Monitor, CRT Emudriver, GroovyMAME

    Nov 28, 2021

    Showing a few games running on the updated Arcade Cabinet. I updated the machine with New MB/CPU/HD installed, modded HD 5450 GPU with CRT Emudriver 2.0, installed Windows 10, and now using Groovymame, super resolutions.

    I am still using Arcade Maximus as a front end with an Arcade Monitor (supporting 15khz) and running all games in their original resolution. Looks brilliant and plays so well. I also managed to port the high scores from the original cabinet across to this one (took some doing, with no info online), so that’s over ten years worth of all my mates’ scores, result :-)
