johnparker007 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I thought this was pretty cool, a MiSTer starting different cores games from physical games in a recreation of WH Smiths computer section TLDW: he's using a handheld scanner, and has put small QR code labels on all of his various games (which are all shrink-wrapped in plastic to add to the realism of the shop experience). So the the scanner sends the code to some kind of middleware, than then tells the FPGA "Hey, now run Sonic The Hedgehog on the Megadrive" or whatever is scanned. Many ways to implement this have been around for ages, yet I don't think I've ever seen it done, I think it's a first... a true 'reality' frontend for retro gaming! 4 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: https://tinyurl.com/2kcrkprh | Donation info: https://tinyurl.com/yzvgl4xo [ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665 [ Fruit Machine Database ] Initial google sheets (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/2c5znxzz [ Fruit Machine ROM Archive ] The archive: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb [ Fruit Machine Settings/Tests Guide ] https://tinyurl.com/yuebw8b5 [ MAME (fixes/improvements) ] Commits: https://github.com/johnparker007/mame/commits/master/?author=johnparker007 [ MFME Launch ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/MFMELaunch [ Oasis ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/Oasis [ Sound ROM Editor ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/SoundRomEditor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearecity Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I enjoy watching RMC. The guy Neil, seems like he is a genuine guy, who doesn't profit from what he does on this project. If I had anything to give away that I thought was genuinely worth preserving I would be happy to send it to him, confident, that he wouldn't just sell the item or keep it for himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
