  1. I found I do have a menu system the buttons were covered over with a sticker so that's a good result and I recessed the display into the top section a bit leaving access to the menu system. But now I have lots of work to create images and videos for the marquee.
  2. If your guessing whats next, lets add some kind of attract mode !! I am half way through a basic attraction mode so if you have any ideals feel free to post below. One question whats your preference on an attract time 60 seconds or 120 seconds ?
  3. Great Vecs Thank you and many thanks to the other guys involved.
  4. Sorted it ! I needed to have both displays on the same card now that has been done, it worked before but gave me issues Updated the development so it displays as it should, and here you have a some what finished product. Now its the task of creating videos and stills for the new marquee version of fruitBAR
  5. Tried using vga lead with onboard vga and separate card now getting dvi-d adapter so will all be on one card that should resolve the issues, its basically mounted and useable but it does need some building around to finish odd the upgrade.
  6. Did you have any issues with the display being offset at all ??
  7. I bought a 5amp supply from amazon with the correct fitting, it really works well. All going well its being fitted into the cabinet tomorrow if i get time. So I might have a better video, stills images coming if i get it sorted.
  8. Amazing work, from everyone !! Thank you !
  9. A few weeks ago I was asked if I could develop the ability to use marquee displays, so I bought a marquee display and added the additional code to allow fruitBAR to show images and videos while selecting and playing fruits, the video is not amazing due to too much sunlight but it shows the intermediate video playing while the fruit is playing on the laptop at this point I only have the intro video to demonstrate this display currently but i'm sure some people will transform the marquee displays onto another level. Oh the video also shows a little section of Mame in action. If you would like to see an early release drop your name below.
  10. Excellent work Vecs many thanks
  11. Opps, Thank you to @kutjebef and everyone involved, amazing work !
  12. Very nice job Vecs, thank you !
  13. Once again @Clo06 brilliant work, many thanks !
  14. If you have a clean pair yes, provided it is normally open going closed when you press the button.
  15. Two wires will be power you should be able to meter these, 12v 0v, or 5v 0v Another two wires will be the switch press the button with your multimeter on continuity and the meter should beep on the press, if it beep and goes silent when you press the button it works in the wrong direction
  16. Your LED button ideally will need to be wired into the board and not a joystick interface, that way you can press to shutdown also. Just power the LED from a separate power supply unless you want to take the power from the PC PSU and it will take 5v or 12v
  17. I have been playing around trying to get a compact hopper to payout but it's hit and miss I might use an arduino to take the pac drive output but in MFME if I select opto will it pulse the coin amount and will mfme still require the key pressed to acknowledge coin has been paid out? My ideal is simple send 5 pulses from the pac drive and let the arduino handle the coin output for 5 coins returninging keypresses if it I still required? My next question is can I use opto output on every rom or does it need to change on each rom?
  18. I already wrote some code for a scrolling matrix, but I think I did it in php its just a case of moving the code into c++ I know the code I wrote the matrix is networked and you just send the info via the lan but I might look at a usb connection This is basically how it would work, You start your machine and the display will show FruitBAR once you navigate in fruitbar the matrix will show the game name, manufacture, etc. Maybe another letter used similar to N key where you set the stakes but you set what you want the matrix to show. So the matrix will scroll the name etc until you return back to fruitBar and select another game, There might be some other extra's that can be added into this depending on what ideals come up.
  19. Vecs once again you pulled it out of the bag, knocked it out of the park, amazing work. It's a nice addition to my arcade, Thank you !
  20. Thats a fine ideal, it doesn't need to be a scrapper as such my program can just send the info to the display as you scroll through the cabinets so when you play the game the matrix will scroll and roll over to show the game stats, etc never thought about doing that before but certainly worth playing around with. Thank you Reg,
  21. I have a dot matrix scrolling display like you might see in a doctors, will mfme play ball with such a device via serial or usb etc ? I know I can incorporate the display to be used in mame, just wondering if mfme will also use this type of device
