newoski Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi Guys, I've got my bartop setup and rockin' about 75 systems -- I'm not adding the Computer systems just yet. It's a 2 Player, 6 Button layout with 3 Admin keys (Escape, Pause, Select) plus P1 Start, P1 Coin, P1 Start, P2 Coin and Left / Right pinball flippers. For those that recognize the layout, it's a clone of MikeKim's amazing RETROCADE bartop. I helped someone get setup the other day by sharing some of my config files + WiniPac keymap layout. It was silky smooth dropping the files into his existing emulators / system, and he was up and running in a matter of minutes. With that said -- and yes, I realize this won't help everyone, nor will it be a one-size-fits-all solution -- but I thought it might be helpful for beginners if I shared the following: MiniPac Wiring Diagram + WiniPac Keymapping Diagram Matching drop-in RetroArch configs for all systems Matching AAE drop-in key configs for all games Matching drop-in MESS key configs for many systems Matching drop-in Default.cfg config keymapping for MAME / HBMAME -- including 4 player games via XBOX 360 controllers That would essentially get 2 player cabinet builders with similar control panels -- most bartops are pretty similar to this layout -- up running on the following systems, almost instantaneously (aside from roms, you're on your own there): AAE Amstrad GX4000 Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Jaguar Atari Lynx Bandai WonderSwan (Sorta) Bandai WonderSwan Color (Sorta) Casio PV-1000 ColecoVision Creatronic Mega Duck Emerson Arcadia 2001 Entex Adventure Vision Magnavox Odyssey 2 MAME Cave SNK Neo Geo NEC PC Engine NEC PC Engine-CD NEC PC-FX NEC SuperGrafx NEC TurboGrafx-16 NEC TurboGrafx-CD Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo Famicom Disk System Nintendo Game Boy Nintendo Game Boy Advance Nintendo Game Boy Color Nintenda Satellaview Nintendo Super Famicom Nintendo Super Game Boy Sega 32X Sega CD Sega Game Gear Sega Genesis Sega Master System Sega SG-1000 SNK Neo Geo CD SNK Neo Geo Pocket SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color Sony PlayStation Super Nintendo Entertainment System Watara SuperVision With that said, am I underthinking this? Are there any restrictions from sharing config files without the emulators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmoo79 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This is the kind of thing the scene needs! Too many people spend too many hours repeating a setup process that is overly complicated and mind numbing, so anything that makes that process easier is a benefit. In fact it could be much more automated. I don't have the skills to create such an installation package but surely there must be somebody who does?
