Red and White Black Cats would be better

It's all gone quiet said Custard, too quiet said Roobarb! Still playing Arcade Sim daiy here. Found a pound coin on the carpet.

Well bugger me, didn't know this, thanks!

I don't know much about it, but isn't the Proton Expermiental build what folks use? @Altharic Thanks.

And a NEXT version is WIP as well.

Has anyone got a "ready" set they could upload somewhere? Only just using LB as a mamecab at the moment, there is a torrent on BU.me for it, but it's dead. Thanks!

Aye impressive board, must have reverse engineered it, and got PCBway or someone to make them.

@RHM, it is PHil, but it'll still fail, as it won't see the MPU card. Food for thought @spa Here talking of hardware, have you seen on facebook those reverse engineered epoch boards you can get? Couldn't believe it.

@thealteredemu I don't know about the T7 or T8, but others will. But what Andrew said above is correct, and I know from when my Rio broke. You can't just knock up an old p4 pc with ide, and stick in an old graphics card in it, even if you have a working image. It has to be exactly the same, same cpu, same graphics card, same memory, same western digital 40gig IDE hard drive etc.

Well that's it, take my Rio, I can probably just convert the image I have backed up and run it in a VLM, bit like what I tried with the Blueprints, but it'll fail when it can't find the mpu5. But if it could get past that, it should work on a dual screen set up, one with have to be a touch screen, or a normal monitor with one of those mouse pointer things we used to use years ago on the quiz machines etc

Well that's just it, like all the arcade games being just pcs now, they run in the Technoparot loader. Its hooking up the mpu side. I bet you could do it with mame for that side, it's hooking up the bpak, unpacking it and incorporating it into some sort of interface.

I've thought about this before, it's just a pc isn't it? Is t7/8 a pc with mpu5 carts like my Rio? Or is it a differrent tech?

Thought most people would have known, mame being the biggest most popular emulator out there. Alth's been talking about it for years! Must admit, just building one source thread does make it easier though.

I was going to say, I've been playing this is mame for years. It's mame compiled with only the bfm video driver in it. Good little find though.
