Ok guys, tonight is a first start for my MAME project. After a few months looking at that dismantled cab and parts, i finally put something up togheter
So step 1: Die Hard cabinet given by Moolit Knight beeing hooked up to a Violence Fight Jamma board and a 25 inches monitor. Status : done and 100% working with controls and sounds. (view pics below)
Step 2: next i am going to hook a pc to it via a J-PAC... shouldnt be too hard at that point Will update after i spent my $$$ on the J-Pac and pc... good night folks, no need to say i am very excited ! Thx to everyone from who i got the parts...
Keeps me excited a little while i am waiting for pin money....
Yes John i will mame it, not like it would harm anything, Jamma makes it very simple, can unplug pc and plug real board in less than 10 seconds...
Thing is, i would put a good game board inside but the good ones arent really cheap. Since i am a cheap a**, i will go for the classics on mame, and maybe buy a good board or two later down the road. Will need to eventually install 3 mores buttons for each player but thats another project by itself (looking at my skills...)
P.S. Battlezoneman, you were right, that monitor is very crisp and clear !!! i love it ! Colors are bright, i was expecting it to be worst, high five !

What, you didn't believe me? Thought I was lying??........I want my monitor back
lol
I'm glade you like it and that it works well in your project
P.S. I need a 25" monitor now, want to sell it? lol
I have reformatted at least 50 times.. but i finally found how to configure the f***** arcade video modes.
JPAC operationnal, everything is working ! I need a new project !
Well, only thing that can possibly be made is upgrading the pc now. Its rather slow (but working great Dave_W !) Lots of games are running too slow on it. I dont really mind as Tetris is working flawlessly (i promised my wife she would be able to play Tetris, reason why that huge cab got a place in the basement...)
Heres the usual pics, nothing spectacular, just a few screens and a pic of the JPAC hooked to the pc.
Nice cab! And good work too! Sorry all for my recent disapearance, brother in law is still in bad shape, so I am jugling school, hospital visits and work! Yes my mame is still all over the kitchen, so its nice to see someone else get some work done for a change!
On a side note, it might be done this year, my mame....

You can come and play of course, as soon as i upgraded the box (mobo is in the mail right now). right now its a little too slow but for a few games as i said (thx god Tetris IS working fine, happy wife maker...)
