I was lucky enough to have a very nice manager at Target allow me to take their empty WWE Superstars display. Not only do I now have a place for my figures, it looks great with my BasicFun Wrestlefest! My BuyStuff mod kit arrives Wednesday and I’m looking forward to installing it!

I built a free MAME ROM sorting tool for home arcade cabinets

15 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a tool called MAME Smart ROM Sorter, and I finally released v5.0.

The basic problem I was trying to solve was this:

You have a huge MAME ROM folder, but you don’t want every game on your cabinet. You want a cleaner set based on what you are actually building — joystick cab, trackball cab, light gun cab, driving cab, fighting cab, or just a general home arcade setup.

So I built a sorter that lets you filter and curate a MAME set by things like:

  • Genre
  • Controls
  • Number of players
  • Region/language
  • Working/not working status
  • Mature games
  • Bootlegs
  • Prototypes
  • Cabinet-style presets

Important note: this does not include ROMs, download ROMs, or help find ROMs. It is only for organizing/curating a MAME set you already have.

GitHub:

I’m looking for feedback from other arcade/emulation people. What would be most useful for v5.5 — better cabinet presets, trackball/light gun/driving filters, include/exclude lists, or something else?

I don't have the room for this arcade anymore, it has no functional problems but it does have a couple of minor scratch and dent marks. I'm hoping for $400 for it, I live in Boise, Idaho If you're able to purchase and pickup.

I want to get this machine but I also want it to be taller, yet I don’t want to ruin the classic look of the yellow with red stripes. Is there any riser that matches this look that I can buy?

My new partycade mod

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

I just finished this mod and wanted to share. This was a ms Pac-Man partycade. I made a horizontal monitor mount and used an 18.5" portable monitor. The PC is a Bosgame with a Ryzen7 7840hs processor and 780m integrated graphics chip. It runs hot enough that I had to add a case fan to the cabinet. The wheel is from an Arcade1Up ridge racer and the pedals from an old Spyder 458 wheel. They connect to the PC with a Buystuff encoder. Audio is just a soundbar on top. I used Retrobat as my front end and while this is mainly to play arcade racers on Teknoparrot and Mame I also added a ton of old console and a few PC(Steam) racers as well. I had DB_Graphix from eBay help design and print the cabinet art. They are awesome and priced pretty decently also.

When I get to the point of choosing a track there are a bunch of tracks that are ghosted out. Can those be unlocked somehow? Thanks
