    Updated Arcade Cabinet, Arcade Monitor, CRT Emudriver, GroovyMAME

    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 :-)

  • Got Myself an Arcade Monitor for the Cabinet

    Got Myself an Arcade Monitor for the Cabinet

    Managed to get an Arcade Monitor for the cabinet, I had to drive to sheffield for it, but its perfect. right size and no screen burn. The monitor had no paperwork and the guy I bought it from didn’t know anything it them, except not to touch it

    The Guy had bought an complete machine with it in, he was converting it to a mame machine and wanted to use a LCD monitor. Asked me what I wanted it for, explained doing similar but wanted arcade CRT screen for authentic play experience and look.

    The guy was sound and help me pack it up safe and put in in my car. Now off to do tons of reading, as need to understand how I power this baby up, connect it to the JPAC and make sure its all safe.
