Retro OSX gaming
16/09/06 in: Apple
Was
playing around with AppleScript tonight and created a very trivial
little front end for starting sdlmame on OSX. Well, more of a
dialogue than a front end really. Anyway, if you use sdlmame on a
Mac, don't really like bloated front ends with all their
screenshots and other stuff then checkout the article, it's under
"Misc Stuff" on the left. Wth just a few lines of script then you
can avoid having to drop into the terminal all the time! I'll do a
bit more work on it another time to add a couple of minor extra
features but that'll do as a starter to get you going.
Also found a bunch more repair logs that I must find the time to write up! 3 for Centipede and 1 for a bootleg PacMan pcb that turned out to actually be a Ms PacMan pcb when i got it going (shame!)

Atari fun
02/08/06 in: Projects
Not been
doing too much lately, have been too busy with non arcade projects
for other people but I have had the time to finally make up a test
rig for Atari games that use Audio Regulater (and AR2) based
voltages. Nothing fancy but will make working on them somewhat
easier I hope. The write up can be found in the projects section of
the site.
While I was ordering the parts for that I had to get a small speaker in and as the one in the jamma rig blew I ordered one for that too. Why mention this? It means that very soon I'll be having to open up the jamma rig and so I should finally after all this time get round to taking some more pcitures of the finished kit and get part two of that feature put up as well!!

PCB List
23/04/06 in: Website
Added a
PCB list to the misc section of the site. I've never really been
one to list what i've got and what i haven't but it does make sense
to have a list i can point people to in the event of trying to
arrange a trade. PLEASE NOTE: Just because something is listed,
doesn't mean it's available for sale or trade. That said,
everything has a price. However, if i don't really want to sell or
trade something then expect that price to be way, way, WAY over the
market value
