Good man o1s1n!

I still have that config file in my Dropbox somewhere!

I really must work on the software of my bartop to finally get it all working properly.

My configuration of Hyperspin is hosed since they changed from using xml to sqlite for their config database.

...stupid stupid Hyperspin.

o1s1n

No problem! copied and pasted from the same .INI file as last time Have a 'no nag' version of MAME set up for just more modern shmups like Ibara with that HLSL setup on, it works so well it's left as is.

Haha!

You'd need to be that elastic man from the Fantastic 4 to play as player 2.

Sad thing is, that looks like it used to be a real cocktail cabinet

You possibly need the premium version for controller support (stick support in your case), not exactly sure. That said, if you do, it's really, really worth it. Setting up systems & games is an absolute breeze. And once it's all done and set up, you've big box mode for everyday use on your bartop (if buying the premium version).

I'm giving Hyperspin one last ditch effort after grabbing a completed config from...

...places.

Let's see how that goes first.

If that then feck it, I'll fork out $50 for a premium lifetime sub of Launchbox.

Buy a one year one, then if you like it, upgrade to a lifetime one when Black Friday rolls around as you'll get it for a good price. Black Friday seems to be the only day of the year they do a discount sub.

Just on the topic

Jack burton

Very cool little bartop but I can't understand where's there's 8 buttons?

o1s1n

I'd say something daft like one is insert coin and the other is 1p start. Really ruins the aesthetic of it alright!

Doge

Ah lads it's just getting beyond nit picky now!

Nothing wrong with a 1p coin and start button on a name cab.

How else are you supposed to start the damn game!

It's just an ion icade cab converted hence the 8 buttons.

Blank off those two and migrate them to the sides.

I'd actually personally prefer them on the control panel than on the sides. Unless I wanted to emulate pinball games, that would be the only reason I'd have them on the sides.

Jack burton

Well I was wondering why there's 8 buttons, because turtles in tome only uses 2.

Buts it's probably just so other games can be played. Either way just looks wierd and crowded to myself....imo

Generally the eye finds odd numbers more attractive. Keep control panel buttons to 3 or 6 with extra buttons away to either the sides or placed over the control buttons.

8 buttons like that on a small cab just looks silly imo.

Still not a bad effort though.

That’s an icade with new graphics and a Lcd/pi permanently mounted in it, I’ve one of them.

Here's an old school name of shame site with commentary! Not sure if it was linked before.

I think the hexagonal control panel wins!










From a mechanical design point of view its actually a unique clever idea but of course looks terrible! :pac:

Looks like something you'd see a lottery draw pulled out of

That's been around for donkey's years.

Infact I think it's what started the whole thread off.
