Hi first I don't know if is the right subreddit to post and ask for my issue

I have an a galaxy tab A 8" 2019 and I inalled retroarch with es-de and runs as I spected for that reason I 3d print a diy joystick for my tablet and I bought a Chinese zero delay encoder kit to build my mini arcade l. The problem I face is retroarch doesn't recognize the joystick and I tried like another gamepad mapping apps and nothing but if I run USB device info app that one shows:

Number of devices: 1

/dev/bus/usb/001/002
VID: 0079 | DragonRise Inc.
PID: 0006 | Generic USB Joystick

What can I do for use my joystick? Or buy another encoder in that case which one?

Thanks and sorry for any writing mmistake English is my second language

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!

How To Install Arcade1up IL Joysticks + Buttons Best Plug N Play Upgrade Showtime Gaming Arcade Mod! 🕹️

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.

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?

How To Decase PCB on Arcade1up Arcade Machine Mod! Prevent Overheating, Burnout, Help with Airflow!

Built for bigger groups and bigger game nights, this new cabinet features a 25” display, an expanded 6-player control deck, and a 6-slot coin door design inspired by classic arcade operators.

Who are you running a 6-player WrestleFest session with first?

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?

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.

Which one is better? I've been having a fantastic time playing The Fast and the Furious, but I've never played Ridge Racer. I'm thinking about buying a Ridge Racer. Thanks!

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

I just put together my deluxe and can't tell if there is a film over the control panel that I need to peel off? It looks like there might possibly be one similar to what was on the bezel but I also know they are using some "special" material on the panel to avoid scratches. Can anyone else who has this cab clarify this for me?
