Well, as promised I start a new thread,

1600 on a dual display looks great,..... except there is no real standardisation so unfortunately the picky ones complain that it splits a couple of graphics across the border. Ie, load up "I'm a Celeb" , (Must point out that Ploggy and Baz have achieved magic with this layout. Perfect in all respects)

Imagine a split at the very top of the first feature board. now see how it splits the graphics either side?

I'm going to address this one day as it really really looks and plays nice on 2 screens aside from this.
It would be perfectly ok, but with each to their own layout methodology, you can get the screen set just right to play, then load up the next rom, ie LOTR and slap. It's all out of whack again, you split the feature board and requires some poggling to straighten up the image. Lots of silly faffing for little showoffability.

(No, I'm not a moron and I can Jscript it to auto-adjust on a rom - rom basis, so it can be achieved)

So. For now a 22" TFT is the way to go, with full 1600.

I'll take a couple of pics of my cab and upload either tonight or tomorrow.

What I could really use is Mr Ploggy to re-design the Indy 1600 as good as the 1280 because unfortunately, re: the JPM ver...it's not right. The reels look odd, it doesn't really look good at all. Really sorry Duplu. If it could be run in any other one except the JPM emu it could be as good as the smaller one I'm sure. This is the clincher, Indy is the most wanted cab I have. I actually have (a mate with) the real cab too. (Pennybox)

Also I'm crying out for Addams to be redone in 1600 too, as this is no 2.

Cash Bazaar looks nice. (as does around the world and Big Breakfast, LOTR, IAC, and some others)

Here I'll show you the pics and it will explain it better.

Ploggy, I'm happy to donate research cash to you if you are able to do 1600 in the same quality as your others.

But all this aside, am I really the first person to build a working cab for this emu?


It's going to be a killer at parties.

Hello, I'm very new.

Very N00bish and munterlike, not a gambler or a FM fan of the past,

However, I do likes me IT.
And I notice that when comparing this with MAME the motivational drive is very different.
MAME users want to have the cabinets, the feeling of the good old days. FME want to play lots of games but don't seem as interested in the hardware (As in recreating the hardware, but throw loads of effort into accurately emulating the hardware perfectly)

So, this topic is just to say, I learnt about MFME by chance, didn't think it was out there so never looked.
But last night, I set up a dual 19" monitor set up (With gaffa tape)nicked some momentary switches from old pc's at work (Smashed an old ps2 keyb) and figured out the matrix combos for C, A, 1,2,3 and {SPACE} and built a (naff) cabinet in about 3 hours.
Its 1000 times more fun than with a keyboard, and with the 2X 1280 monitors running dualview, its pretty much full size, HQ for a 1600 WDX.

So it's a front room fruity.
Celeb looks great, but I need more HQ 1600 WDX's to really sort it. (like I said, I'm new so need to scout about for the gems)

Next is an order to Happs and proper switches + bit of MDF for a proper cab, can be done in a day.

So why is there no following here for these, like there is for mame.
Anyone know the perfect setup for a 1600 layout? I'm guessing about 19" wide running portrait for the top half and 17" standard for the bottom. (TFT)

I got pics which wowed the lads at work today, but it's so rubbish I'll have a cool one this time next week.
