I'm looking forward to being a part of this community for a very longtime.....heres a link to a small video i made of the cabinets in the works------> http://www.kizoa.com/Video-Editor-Movie-Maker/d57906459k3968122o1l1/custom-build-arcades- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazkarieh Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hey all!! Just started a MAME project and this is surely the best community I found.

saitoh00 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hello to all Im saitoh00 I just started a new bartop proyect with raspberry pi 2 and i enter this page to get tips to make a good work with the frontend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMason Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 @saitoh00 I just finished building a bartop cabinet a few months back. The frontend I used was retropie and I upgraded the pi2 to a pi3 it's a bit faster and wifi build in which is awesome, wifi was the main feature I loved cause I'm able to upload and delete roms and bios from my PC by just going into my network option. The only issue I really have with the Pi units is the n64 roms and them being laggy even when I overclock my pi3 but aside from that everything else worked flawless. If you need any help setting it up just send me a msg. Goodluck with your project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saitoh00 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 GMason very thanks, try a retropie with attract mode...is the never see in a 40 $ board can found in youtube...and post here what you think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMason Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Attract mode over retropie is awesome it's the nearest thing to having hyperspin frontend look and vibe on a Pi unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koffdrop Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hello, I'm Koffdrop. I don't have any ambitious plans like the rest of you! (Good luck ecb116) I live in a modest 2-bedroom flat with an awesome cat and understanding, patient wife. I like to tinker with software applications as much as playing games. The first community I ever participated in was an emulation one. It's been a while. Hold me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpAwN Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hello folks, since many years a love emulations. Currently I try to setup my HTPC with LaunchBox and EmuMovie stuff. Maybe a Arcade and/or pinball cabinet will follow after. I am also active in saving old games and I am owning over 1000 big boxes of PC games.

It doesn't take so much space and it will scratch that "arcade" itch P. S. Also a big welcome to TheSpawn and TokMudim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerox Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hello, My name is Jose Miguel, I'm from Chile and my english is not very good :) I have recently found this website from "LaunchBox" and I think it is a great project, because every retro gamer has dreamed of something like this. That's all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroBasic Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi, I'm Simon. I have a newly made cocktail cabinet with flipper buttons, spinner, and trackball. It runs Hyperspin. I'm into all the old school arcade games from the late 70s and early 80s. I'm a big fan off all things Pinball! Pinball FX2, Visual Pinball, Future Pinball, The Pinball Arcade. I visit play expo in Manchester, UK every year to play all the pinball tables. Will see you there this October! Also a big Commodore Amiga fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psavery72 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hello Members! I am P.S. and I’m have been setting up my family’s media to be more organized and centralized for streaming. From Plex to Drobox to Calibre and now I have made it to the video games and wow has emulation advanced in my time away from Mame32 : ) I am in the process of getting Launchbox/SteamSync set up and I am glad to see such an active community for scrapping media. I really don’t know where to start, but glad to not be alone : ) Regards, P.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koffdrop Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hey P.S. Fellow Plex and Calibre user here. Plex gets far more of a workout though. What a wonderful application! I'm also using Launchbox - setting Retroarch as my emulator of choice. It's a beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toaks Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hello all, I'm Tim. I have been into retro games since they were originally released, and I have been into emulation since about 1996 or so. I am 40, married with 2 kids. I hope to one day have a small arcade in my garage, including a mame cabinet. I collect retro game systems and games, as well as current gen systems. I am hoping to start up a YouTube or Twitch channel focusing on retro gaming. I enjoy spending time showing my kids the classic games I grew up with and we spend a lot of time gaming together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo12390 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hey everyone my Name is Yo and I got excited about this website from the "launchbox" application. I'm seeing that you guys are really into building arcade cabinets which look really awesome. I never was in any way part of a forum or website community so I'm totally new to this whole thing. Hopefully I can be of use in any way to some of you for any help. Besides I'm from Germany so my English is not that good so I think I can learn some about grammar here.

GreenRebel Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi All, Strange how i've only just signed up because of trying out LaunchBox. But looking around it seems I should have joined a long long time ago... Have been emulating a while before using Mala, currently comparing mGalaxy (like it) vs new install of LaunchBox (lets see this baby!). Used RetroArch from the beginning but it's still not the perfect solution, eg. Amiga support is really bad :( . Also spend my nights working out my folder structure! I used to have seperate Roms folder, Emus had the bios,images etc. But now I figure its best to keep resources (roms,saves,bios etc) separate from Emu's, in Console folders. And leave Emu's just to them selves. Currently have evolved to (using N64 as example): Emulation > Consoles > Nintendo - N64 > Roms / Saves / Screenshots Emulation > Emulators > Project64 2.3 Emulation > Emulators Frontend > mGalaxy / LaunchBox / RetroArch I'll probably change it all back again once I get round to re-sorting MAME! grrr but :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patata Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 i´m new in the forum. I´n restoring a Videosonic and i´m using Groovyarcade. I try Advmenuplus and Attract mode as front-end ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest poppiestar Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Good morning all! My name's Drew and I've just discovered this amazing site. I built my first arcade cabinet in 1999 when I was a teenager in Australia, using an old PC I had lying around. Back then, things were a lot more primitive! Now, I live in the UK, I own my own house and I've decided it's time to fill the empty space in my room with a mini-arcade machine that I've been designing and building over the last couple of months. I'm somewhat floored that the Raspberry Pi 3 I'm using to run everything is stupid times faster than my old PC, costs £30 and fits in the palm of my hand. I've been playing around with RetroPie, which has made my life significantly easier, but I'm not a big fan of EmulationStation so I've been looking into alternative front-ends. I've been looking at AttractMode which looks a lot closer to what I was imagining. Hopefully once it's all done I'll have the nerve to show it off to the world, but until then it's still just a bunch of crude drawings in a notebook and a pile of controls and wires in my spare room. Nice to meet you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
