    I suppose I was looking at this from the aspect of someone who over the years had amassed a collection of games from these various platforms, but your console finally gave up the ghost. Here you would have a way to not only retain use of all those titles but also in a manner with a controller and feel of the original that would be difficult to replicate otherwise. Sure you could build something and use a

    A suggestion I've read is to try hitting the "End" button to close the coin door.

    Looks pretty decent!
  6. In my normal Simply Austin viewing I came across some rather surprising news that YABAUSE is once again in active development. Looks to be coming along nicely, with a public release imminent.
  7. I"m going out on a limb here (not really) by saying no way this thing launches July 2019. As of June 22nd, they didn't even know what it was, and fiddling with mainboard designs to not overheat in a pre-determined shell seems asinine to me. This will undoubtedly result in a lower powered machine since nobody in their marketing department apparently had the foresight to consider that what's under the hood is the quintessential key to the overall performance of the unit. Instead, they seem to have thrown caution to the wind and focused solely on aesthetics. It's like they designed a car and then someone said: "oh shit, we forgot the engine". I suspect the scale of the device to increase and that they will probably regret publishing an estimated release date before it's all said and done.
  8. Given your join date and the recent release of Evolution I'm assuming you are running GameEx and have moved it to the appropriate forum.
  9. Don't even get me started on that Atari thing! Seems to me it's just a Kickstarter thing, without the Kickstarter part!
  10. The console was released on 3 December 1994. Not sure about where you're from, but here 24 years in quite a long time. In all fairness to Sony, it is the oldest console they have. That said, I don't give a flip about it either, nor do I about the Mega drive that's coming next year. I'm to the point where I wish the whole "retro is cool" phase would just go away. Sure it is cool to see the arcades returning and the NES classic would have been cool except Nintendo is a bunch of asswipes that doesn't deserve anyone's business due to the way the shit all over their customers. Now though, it's too the point where everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and taking all the memories we had; the ones that have motivated us to build arcade cabinets and gut old NES boxes, and bastardizing them! It is ruining the hobby I love by taking that boutique sort of shine off of something you can no longer buy and instead, making it into something that will litter the landfills for years to come once the "renew" has worn off.
  11. Sony Just Announced The $100 PlayStation Classic Console Everyone is doing it!
  12. Do you have the LAV codecs installed?
  13. it's ftp.gameex.com Please open another thread if that isn't your problem. Thanks.
  14. This may save you some effort and hair pulling should this occur again, or at least provide a good starting point before throwing in the towel. This has saved me many a time! If you ever move to Windows 10, you can use the media creation tool to download the latest patched image and check against it. There could be similar avenues for 7, but I am not familiar with them.
  15. I'm a bit rusty these days, but here are some suggestions: First, if you have Rptr, Gaming Evolved installed as part of your Catalyst installation, uninstall it. It causes problems with GameEx. It's been a while for me on the system pack side of things, but I do recall that you must follow it through step by step exactly as it's outlined in order. It worked perfectly for me when I last installed it. The paths do not matter, and if you let the system pack do its thing, then just follow whatever it defaults to. There is no guide I'm aware of for this, Tom simply created these for people who didn't want to hunt down artwork, snaps and the like. It is simply provided as a convenience for GameEx subscribers. As Tom mentioned, your directories can be anything. C: \Chocalate\snaps, literally anything. As long as you point the setup wizard to them, it doesn't care, and what's in there by default are merely suggestions. If there are things in the wizard you don't have, skip them. It only uses the resources you direct it to use. I run mostly GameEx proper, so in referring to that, ensure that you are running integrated mame. This guide needs to be updated to come up to speed with the newer setup wizard, but this is the section. Complete it through the "advance mame settings" Don't confuse AdvanceMame with advance mame settings. You only need to worry with this section if you're running advancemame. By using the integrated MAME support you need not work about any "MAME" stuff in the emulator section, your not running it as an emulator. The integrated MAME support will do everything you need it to, assuming you've got your directories correct. You should have to update each time you change something while using integrated MAME, but only upon a change.

  17. I've been showing my neighbor progress on my rig so this will really hit home as he is a huge Transformers Junkie, and soon to be VP junkie..... Nice work dude!
  18. I believe that's a 4th gen i7 (Haswell) CPU, but CE is a known resource hog. Curious, what guns are you using? What OS and/or how are you running MAME? In your Intel graphics settings, if there is an option to disable vertical sync, then give that a try.
  19. The easiest way is to download the system packs that Tom was nice enough to create for us. There are other ways to obtain these, emumovies properly configured in setup wizard will download the videos for you (Note this works much better if you have a subscription, otherwise you'll have a daily download limit)

  21. Oh, I didn't know about any of that. Terry is running the beta in cab mode already though.
