How to : Use the Magic Cabinets by DeNiro.

These six (new to some) cabinets use the "magic pixels" technique, to instantly fill your arcade with a diversity of graphically pleasing cabinets.

Allthough these cabinets arent exactly accurate replications of actual cabinets, they sort of "sum up" a given year span.

1. Get the cabinets
Currently, the only way of getting these six cabinets, is by downloading the full FE v0.91. But in the future, when more magic cabinets are ready, there will be a seperate .zip somewhere - most likely in the "models" section.

2. Install the cabinets
Once downloaded, move the six "magic-deniro-___.w3d" from the "models" directory of the .zip, to the "models" directory in your FE installation. No need to do this, if you got the Full FE.

3. Start using te cabinets
Then add the following lines to any "[arcadename].cfg" file you want to use these new cabinets. Add the lines below the "4. Gamelist models options"-section :

defcab|magic-deniro-80-vert|#model|Use this 3d model when no other matches were found.|
gencab1|pinball/10/pinball/10/pinball/10/pinball|
gencab2|magic-deniro-70-hor/15 contains/Hor/3 larger/1970/3 smaller/1981|
gencab3|magic-deniro-70-vert/15 contains/Ver/3 larger/1970/3 smaller/1981|
gencab4|magic-deniro-80-hor/15 contains/Hor/3 larger/1980/3 smaller/1989|
gencab5|magic-deniro-80-vert/15 contains/Ver/3 larger/1980/3 smaller/1989|
gencab6|magic-deniro-90-hor/15 contains/Hor/3 larger/1988/3 smaller/2020|
gencab7|magic-deniro-90-vert/15 contains/Ver/3 larger/1988/3 smaller/2020|

- If you want other gencabs to override these, they should come first in the list.. The FE begins with the gencab1 entry and continous towards gencab[last] entry, and stops when (or if) it finds a match..
