Just thought I'd share my latest littile build i did. It's full fledged gaming machine in an NES cart I took an NES cart and modified it. Then took a raspberry pi and removed some components to shrink it down. Soldered some new USB ports to fit in the cart, and bypassed the micro usb power port so it can be plugged in the front. Cut some slots for hdmi and a place in the back to remove the SD card if ever needed.

So is anyone using this Razer Sabertooth Elite controller ? If so how is it? Is it worth the extra cost? Does it screw up any other controllers you have connected? And the big question, How's the D Pad? It looks really good, and I'd want it for the PC. Thank you for your time.

With the PD event coming up next week I'm in the market for a HDD newegg has the 3tb WD green drives on sale. I know their a slower drive and go to sleep frequently. Does anyone have any experience using them in a Hyperspin setup? All of my media is stored on a SSD. I wonder if I would be better off to get a 4 Tb WD elements external drive for about the same price and decase it.

I normally do not make threads like this but I really have to vent this out because it's to the point where it's funny. So in this hobby, we all can admit that when we build a cab, we spend money. Then we spend the time learning Hyperlaunch, HS, ledblinky, all so we can have the best experience for ourselves and family and friends correct? Or am I the only one? Well I posted a topic over at MAMEworld because I modified the source code according to a thread I found over at the BYOAC forums to stop the "state loaded" messages from happening. This is due to the Deco cassette games that have a inevitable, regardless of nvram start up time for 120 seconds until the games sta…

Well after the posts I read about with Upchurch involved I liked to read about how people would like to have something else to watch with updates etc or news on HS releases/updates. To start with I was thinking of doing a from the very start... Hyperspin setup... warts and all. By no means am I an expert at setting anything up. In fact most of my setups have been either blind luck or much help taken from these here forums. Thats what makes this so interesting. I know the basics and maybe a lil more with some systems, but it could help bind all the guides etc together and could be a little fun. I already have a working version which Im more than happy with. So I …

this is a brillaint way to make a ps3 control or ps4 gamepad fuction like a xbox 360 gamepad. I was at a point that i was gonna give up and buy another 360 pad cause my ps3 analog triggers stopped fuctioning i thought to myself if its not working on pc then it must be broken completely. For the ps3 console, However i was a sucker for it i tried it on the ps3 and to my suprise it fuctioned nicely still on the ps3 console. Dont you just hate it when a ps3 control has trouble finding the right driver etc and fuctioning wrong it may be the case you need a a driver and app for it well not anymore. Sometimes you see the middle triggers on the analog arent fuctioning but wor…

Well as the tile says. I was a big user of the K400 as many other people with HTPC or cab builds. Its small and does the job verywell. Hwever after setting up an XMBC unit for my pops hedidnt want to spend much. I took a chance on a cheaper build. A Slim Rii and to be honest I was more than happy with it. Its even smaller but has all the functionality... best of all, half the price. Also no need for bats as it charges from the USB Thought I would just share as if i do need another this will be my new choice. heres what Im talking about.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Slim-Rii-K12-2-4G-Wireless-Mini-Keyboard-w-Touchpad-For-Laptop-PC-TV-Box-PS3-/331321751213?pt=UK_Co…

Having played pc games released in the last 12 months using a regular arcade stick and 7 buttons, then upgrading to a wireless 360 pad this weekend, I can honestly say an arcade stick/button combo just will not cut it. I read the threads regarding controls and modern games and discarded them thinking I'll get by just fine, I was wrong, this is why companies spend thousands if not millions designing control pads. Sure I managed to play the games but it just wasn't fluid, today is the first time I really enjoyed playing these games. If you want to play modern console/pc games don't waste your time configuring your controls or key maps, either play them as they were meant to…

I have too much awesome. It has become a chore to scroll through all of that awesome, so I sort of want to do a second install of hyperspin using bare bones art and themes, etc, for personal use (I play snes and 64 more than anything else) and keep my grand install for continued dazzling of the uninitiated and for times when I just want to scroll. Anyway, I'll probably start this weekend, but I'm concerned that these two installs might conflict in ways? I'll certainly be using the same emulators and the same roms, but if I have two Hyperspin installs on the same drive, will changing Hyperlaunch settings in one mess with the settings of the other, for example? Is there any…

Another forum that I am a member of has a "Buy me a beer" button underneath certain members profile pictures. I think this would be a great idea for this forum as there are some members who contribute a great deal, gigapig, djvj, raine, bleazy, thk and more that slip my mind at the moment. Nobody is going to get rich from this and nobody is expecting you to gift thousands, I just thought it would be good to show these guys we appreciate what they do. Again I apologise to those members I missed out. The only problem I see is selecting which members get the badge, still that's not for me to decide so

So I picked up an old pole position hi\low shifter from a local arcade repair shop today. I'm wondering if any of you have set it up like this, and if this idea would work. The old pole postion shifter had one microswitch. low was off and hi was on. MAME is currently set up for 1 button to control the shifting. (press once for hi, once again for low). So my one switch has two connectors (besides ground). Normally Open and Normally Closed. What if I wired each one to the same input on a keyboard encoder? For example, since low is off, the Normally Closed connection would send a signal down the line (good question: is it momentary or sustained?). Hi is on so Normal…
