actually I had the same problem. I have a 1.8 dual core 2 GB laptop running AM on Win XP 32-bit. it ran horible. Ver slow and choppy. I put lubuntu linux on it and it runs fine now. lol I never did figure it out. Do the other displays run choppy as well?

The list should not have to be anywhere. AM uses the mame executable to get it's information. Make sure you have your paths set up right (the exe and roms). Also in your settings make sure the Info Source/Scraper is set to mame (press up or down to select). Not having that set will cause your problem to happen as well.

I did it. I formatted my arcade set up and installed A new version of lubuntu (15.04) ( I had a hardware issue) Well no big deal. Got my back up back on and started to install deb packages. When I got to the attractmode deb I could not install it. The needed dependencies are NOT in the repository (yet at least) so I pulled them of my other box and got everything working. Just wanted to let you all know.

« on: June 04, 2015, 11:31:09 AM »
That doesn't seem right...but then again I didn't write the program either! I can't run mame 1.62 right now. I have ran mame UI64 using AM before without a problem..but that was a few versions ago.

Honestly I can not help you much there, I don't have a tank stick. However mame does have controls that are "default" (as you said) look into your mame folder and look for a ctrlr folder and see if you have a "xarcade.cfg" in there. If so do this:

under the
#
# CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS
#

look for

ctrlrpath                 ctrlr

 make sure your path is right when pointing here!

then scroll down to...
#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#

and look for

ctrlr                     

make it look like this:

ctrlr    xarcade.cfg

it will load a pre-made setup for mame. If you want you can set it up by hand. (You'll need a keyboard until you are all set up!)

I was going buy a tankstick..but I found out that I can buy the kit and assemble it myself and save 50 bucks..yeah i'm cheap :P but this way I can lay it out the way I want and use what cover I want. One day I want to build this:

and this one is cool too http://www.beersmith.com/mame/

Well not wood..but stick on adhesive wood grain. Just we weren't ready for futuristic grey boxes for our consoles until '85 :P lol

You have a point there. Although using a '70's retro thing is going a little to far back I think. Most people play the old 80's games...they think arcade = 80's (thanks a lot pacman! :P )

Does anyone have a hot girlfriend or wife to reenact that pose?  ;) ;) ;) I would ask my spouse but we need to attact people not repel them.  :) Just kidding, of course.  ;)

I take it your spouse doesn't read these posts omega man? LOL

Well...don't get me wrong here..I like the girl(s) and all..however we might want to make the logo not so umm..."manly". Yes emulation might be another "male dominated things" I am sure but I think neutral here night be better.

Great work as always guys! (claps)


Idk the highlight kinda takes away from the theme because it is a different color. Try making the highlight "glow" Just my me being a non artist opinion though :P

To share your layout is simple. Just zip up or copy the folder with all your "pieces" in it. That is your background, and layout nut minimum. If you have other parts..like "default marquee" or such then you add that in there as well. Depending on the complexity of your layout you might need to add a readme file with info about your layout. Like omegaman did for his particle layout (the particles had to be placed in a different folder) but that's really all you have to do.
