Really really over my head!! A bit of commission?? :)

Sorry BTribble I'm really not getting this!

I've got a list of games I want to play in, say, Scapino's Arcade. Literally it's just a text file of a list of game names. How do I transpose that to a configuration file that Scapino's Arcade can understand?

Actually would you or )p( Peter - or ...

Many thanks all I've got it working now, however it only displays the video for whichever cab you're looking at (ie the one currently "engaged" if you like, like when you're going to launch it) rather than all the cabs in view. Is there no way of getting 3DArcade to show you the attract mode videos ...

Creating an FPS arcade from scratch

The subject line says it all. I understand how to edit an existing arcade to have your own cabs (at least in theory - please see my other post detailing my problems creating a gamelist!!) but how do you create your own brand new, empty one, with your own map/layout/environment?

Many thanks all

Creating a gamelist

Hi guys,

If I have a list of games I want in my arcade, how do I create the gamelist for the FPS front end? I know about the list editor and the easiest way I can see of doing it is to add folders to a new list, however I don't know how to transpose my list of game names to a list of folder ...

Where do you put attract mode videos?

Apologies for the crosspost!

Apologies if this is really obvious but I can't find anywhere that explains this!

I have downloaded and unpacked the 2000-odd attract mode avi's but I don't know what folder they should be in. Can someone tell me the name of the folder please? I am running MAME v ...

Thanks Peter. Would there be any real difference between using SATA over IDE? I have a bunch of spare IDE drives I can use for this but if the performance of a SATA drive would be significantly better I'll shell out for one...

Cheers

Thanks for the advice. How should I split up t he 3DArcade folder structure then? Also should I put MAME and Daphne on the second drive (or split them up so the Roms and image files are on the other drive but the actual software and config files are on the master drive) too or won't that matter ...

PC spec for 3DArcade FE in an arcade cab - advice please!!

Hi all,

I hope you can help.

I have just bought a Jamma cab off eBay (item number 380014093201 if you're interested). I'm going to rip the guts out and replace them with a PC running 3DArcade driving MAME and Daphne.

The cab comes with a 26" arcade monitor which I hope to salvage. I am ...

Vital and Spanner - many thanks for your replies.

As I said in my original post the RAR's are in the same folder and *appear* to be the correct sizes. I was thinking that if I had DVD's which were proven to work I would have a basis for diagnosis, ie if it still failed it must be something to do ...
