Building a MAME arcade cabinet...

I'll check tomorrow and let you know, I think I backed mine up awhile back.

I'd bet that you have out of date romsets, then. MAME tends to reorganize romsets pretty often. There are tools out there that update romsets (maybe clrmamepro does it?), or you could just find newer ones.

106 is just a broken version because they've been completely reworking the renderer. 107 is out now. Might still have to update a bunch of stuff, but the good news is stuff like Asteroids Deluxe and Golly Ghost look great now.

[Bonestorm]

remember you not only need to get updated roms, but alot of games need the system boards bios as well. Perhaps all you need to run die hard arcade is the sega STV bios.

[Othello Harrington]

Tried that, failed.

[Tain]

Die Hard Arcade just isn't fully working yet, fyi.

[andyrose]

Yeah, I agree with that emotion.

[voltz]

I dunno if 106 was used as a testing ground, but 107 has a new rendering system that'll be buggy till things get sorted out.

What crawled up your butt, ass?

Obviously, particle board is a type of fiberboard. I was comparing particle board to MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD, which are obviously not the same thing.

neither is a super duty water resistant building material though. Which was what I was asking about.

Which unless your installing this cab in a shower stall, it should be an issue to begin with.

Alright, I'm giving up the idea of being able to emulate my DC games through a virtual CD drive, not enough of them work right, and the ones that do work work great for awhile, but usually end up freezing. So, I have no choice but to install a Dreamcast inside of it, take apart 2 DC controllers, and hotwire the PCB boards to my joysticks. It's going to suck swapping CDs out, though.

On a positive note, my partner in this project was showing me this Sega arcade board emulator that plays a lot of the awesome 3D Sega arcade games that MAME just won't run, I think it's called m2emulator or something like that. We were playing House of Dead and a lot of other 3D Sega board games, and it ran them perfectly. There's another alternative to MAME called Final Burn that focuses on playing some of the more graphic intensive games better than MAME, and it works great too.
