The previous setup had a different mess for every game which took up more disk space and made it harder to update. I also combined Mess into one installation. I used mess where ever possible because it has the easiest to configure interface using TAB. I added the dragon's lair prototype rom and video set which plays differently from the final release. Galaxy Ranger and Roadblaster had the wrong rom names in their setup so they did not even work. Every MESS emulated game failed to load because the hyperloader script had an invalid line in the command line so I had to fix all of those instances. You just have to go through ini files and try changes until you find the right line.įor example, AAE was set to force 4:3 aspect ratio which crushed even horizontal games into a narrow rectangle in the middle of the screen, Actionmax had the wrong key setup so it was unplayable and there was no config utility to set the correct keys. I had to rebuild it myself and fix every single emulator and figure out the settings which is not easy because many of the emulators have zero documentation. Some games were displayed with the incorrect aspect ratio, paths were wrong, files were missing, it was a mess. It had the video files but was completely setup wrong.

It was supposed to be complete and setup. I tried downloading a hyperspin torrent of an allegedly setup system only to find it was 99.4% complete and it was a rar file set so it would not extract even 10% of the files. This project finally gave me a chance to use all the starcade and other videos I have collected over the years. I scanned the original panel for sizing and used it as a guide to layout my buttons and make sure everything would fit. What would Nolan Bushnell have said in 1971 if he knew this would be possible someday?: 'Huh?' I had to split this page into a second page which explains how I actually built the control panel and setup the box. I have seen some fancy games packed with movies, but who watches a movie standing in front of an arcade game? This one is pure arcade and console games baby!īelow is how I setup my 2-Player Computer Space to play almost 22,000 games. No movie filler or non-arcade junk polluting my drives either. Mine may only be a two player machine, but it has four terabytes of games, arcade related videos, cheats, and more.
