It was a Oldie... it looks to be a Midway cab. The old PCB and both power supplies are shot along with the Tube. So I decide to do a Hyperspin Cab. I am planning on putting in a AMD quadcore with 4 gigs of ram and a 1tb drive. do I really need a Video card tho? Im confused do I use onboard or a add on card? Id like to play some of the NEWER games. but what games require hardware acceleration? and should I be concerned with Heat? should I leave the PC in the case or mount it to the wall of the Cab? http://imgur.com/a/HVsW6 The tube is deff toast... should I save anything off it?

Hi, I bought for some months ago a Naomi Virtua Striker 4 2006 Cabinet for 220€. Wanted to rebuild it to an Mame Cab. The first job in my todo list was to change the CRT I found a used rarely Philips 29 PT 9521 73,7 cm (29 Zoll) 4:3 100 Hertz PIXEL PLUS with 720p/1080i for 50€ But i was disappointed about the Video Quality. For Games it was ok . It wasnt pixelate but for configuration of mame in windows mode at 1080i or 720p it wasnt sharp enough. So i decided to change the CRT with an LCD. I bought a used 26" LCD with guarantee and 720p<for 110€. SAMSUNG 26" FLAT TV LCD ,HDMI, 16:9 , Chinch, Scart, VGA, HF, OSD, HD Ready ... It was easy to fit the LCD…

My complete Arcade Cabinet. Pretty happy with the turnout. Plenty of resources for this too for anyone interested; AutoCAD templates for plywood sheets, SKP file w/ material schedule. Easy way to budget. 5 emulators right now, 3700 roms I think, its always changing. Red vs Blue theme with my graphics. Need to do an x-arcade cover graphic and buttons to match the theme as well as a coin door but I want to re-fab and selections are junk where I'm from. I have a ton more pictures of details as well, but on to just some main pics. only lit up photo I have right now... Some build progress photos... 4:3 CRT TV, I really like the retro rounded gl…

Ok so im doin a hyperspin cab. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/12197-2-player-cab/ Im not going to buy and mount a coindoor. But im going to have a button where the coindoor would normaly be at. So i got this idea that everytime the coin button is pushed a coin sound is played. Im using joytokey so a program that sends the keypress "k" as normal and play the wav file would be great. I googled a ahk script with probebly works but it plays the windows "nono" sound, Most likely the program lack right to play files from the place its at. a work around would be to change the windows sound ofcourse. but it feels tacky.. I think this is a simple task and m…

Getting ready to drill the holes for the control panel. Does this layout look good. I got the DIY X arcade that comes with tracball and 20 buttons (2 are 1\2 player buttons). This is the backside so everthing is reveresed. Was planing on 8 buttons ( Do I really need the bottom 2?) The middle top 4 would be the inside ones right and left mouse and the outer ones 1 /2 player. and the far top ones one would be back\escape and not sure what the other one will be yet. Any suggestions on changes\ additions or does this seem ok? not sure if put everything too high too on the control panel and should lower everything a tad. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Hi, new to the forum but seems the right place to start. I want to build a virtual Pinball machine, is there any full guides out there from start to finish? I suppose I would like something ideally quite easy to build as this will be my first build. Thanks

Just about ready to start work on my control panel, right now it has a coat of primer\sealer and 4 coats of latex paint but I'm worried it will start to get damaged from repetitive playing. Is putting a piece of plexi over it a good idea? Or is there any better ideas? What size plexi also? Thanks for the input

I'm happy enough with my current Hyperspin install that it's finally time to buy the hardware to go into the cabinet. See below for the list of items I'm thinking of purchasing, would apprecaite some feedback (if I'm missing something crucial or getting the wrong type of whatever) Remember that I have an old 2nd hand cab that I'm going to gut, making my own control panel. Being based in NZ my options for buying are a bit more limited due to the cost of shipping from the US. I've found what looks to me a good place in Australia to buy from, would rather buy the lot from one place and only pay the one shipping fee. At this stage I'm aiming to build a basic …

Hi Everyone. I'm new to Hyperspin & these forums, and would like some advice. As I am building a bartop cabinet with all the bells & whistles, but what would people recomend to use a PC Motherboard setup, or a Raspberry Pi B. I have both so that's not a problem just like to know witch would be better for using with Hyperspin. Any advice and input would be greatly appreciated.;-)

Can anyone provide the dimensions of the PacLED64... or compare it to the MiniPac? It looks to be about the same size, but I have super limited space, so I want to make sure before ordering. Also, do the PacLED64 boards ever got warm/hot? I have my MiniPac velcroed to my Control Panel. I'm hoping to velcro the PacLED64 to the cabinet as well...

Hi. everyone! I have everything up and running with my custom CP. I am using a Mini-Pac Opti and have assigned most of my controls using Winipac v.2. The problem is, I cannot for the life of me figure out what I need to do in order to get the U-Trak to operate. Am I supposed to assign the U-Trak controls in Winipac? It's not clear to me how the U-Trak is supposed to be "programmed." Once the U-Trak is "programmed" or whatnot, what are the steps I need to take once I am in an actual MAME game? I am used to pressing the Tab key to configure controls, but I am pretty much lost as to how to get a game like Centipede (for example) to recognize the U-Trak. One thing…
