Entex Electronic Baseball - craiganderson (20150419)

[craiganderson]

these are in MESS .160

each game (entex electronic baseball 1, 2, and 3) is a separate system in MESS but I tweaked the module to have each system show up as a game all on the same wheel

not fancy but im ok with it

ill share when im done

 

edit: FINAL VIDEO HAS REPLACED ORIGINAL VIDEO

I was hoping it was the led game. Very nice work. I had a football one that I played forever. Who knew red dots could be so entertaining!

[craiganderson]

There are lots of new handhelds in mess 160. Maybe yours is in there too...

[dougan78]

I am not sure. This is the one I had

Forgot about it. It stopped working one day and I took it apart to "fix" it. Well that was that... I was 10 at the time and electronics repair was a little out of league..

this is the one i had when i was a little guy

edit

[craiganderson]

here is how i tweaked the module. if there is a better way please let me know

remember, MESS considers each of these games their own "system"

 

named the system on my main menu wheel = "Entex Electronic Baseball"

made 3 dummy rom files

Electronic Baseball 1.txt                                                       

Electronic Baseball 2.txt                                                    

Electronic Baseball 3.txt     

 

to the MESS module added:

1) Added "MSystem = "Entex Electronic Baseball",.............

2) Added "mType := Object("Entex Electronic Baseball","ebball",................

 

 

and then added this [after ident := mType[systemName] ]

If MSystem := "Entex Electronic Baseball"
{
If InStr(romName, "Baseball 1") 
ident = ebball
else If InStr(romName, "Baseball 2") 
ident = ebball2
else If InStr(romName, "Baseball 3") 
ident = ebball3
}

Weird. Using a bezel with these causes the image to not show up on the screen. I can still hear the game, just cant see the image. And I set up the bezel settings exactly as every other WORKING MESS system i have.....

[craiganderson]

fixed. dont know why but i had to go into video settings inside the game (ie. via TAB key and turn on bezels to enabled)..weird never had to do that before for a mess system....

[craiganderson]

if anybody is bored and wants to cut out an entex logo

we could add it to the theme

Edit: watched the video again and the

Whole package here really does this justice. Really came together nice. Nice work.

[craiganderson]

I uploaded to my little site. Upload includes

 

main menu theme

main menu video

main menu wheel

game themes

game videos

game wheels

xpadders setups

bezels

instructions for adding these systems(i.e. games) to MESS module (please backup your's first)
roms (the fake dummy .txt roms needed to trick hyperlaunch HLHQ)

everything should be able to just be dropped into its place after you alter the MESS module
AND once you load a game you will need to go to the TAB menu inside the game and inside the display option enable bezels for some reason ??
i have never had to do that for a MESS game but on this setup as well as one other MESS handheld that I have added I have had to do this

 

(you need MESS .160 for this to work)

-and inside the game via the TAB menu you can go to configuration to decide if you want the pitches to be pitched AUTOMATICALLY or if you want the other player to actually select a pitch. I did not realize this til after I set up my xpadder so both the pitcher and the batter buttons are on the same xbox 360 controller right now if you do not select AUTOMATIC pitches......sorry about that

[craiganderson]

If anybody ends up making a pointer and/or a non-bordered main menu wheel and wants me to add it to the download please let me know. Thank you!

I was thinking about the main menu wheel. Something like the entex circle logo with the word handhelds using the letter h off the hockey box and the rest of the letters blue. Something like that. In the 70s all the artwork was rather blah

[craiganderson]

Or we could turn this into a "MESS HANDHELDS" wheel.....as their are quite a few other handhelds that were added to .160

like this one

it is also from MESS .160

no rom needed, just the bios

 

i have this one all by itself on a wheel which is kinda weird feeling
