I’ve been busy lately. Yayaya. Obtained a new job and waiting for the official offer, fixing CNC machines and eventually will be programming the PLC’s. With the release of mame 0.200, I decided to update my romset and push some things I worked on a while ago to GitHub.
playchoicecomplete is a layout inspired from the Nintendo Playchoice-10 arcade machine. Once my romset is finished updating, I’ll get a proper gif. I think it would be weird showing you guys this theme with only neo geo titles as I currently have nothing else on my dev machine. Repo is pushed and should be all set minus that gif, if you want to check it out.
https://github.com/keilmillerjr/playchoicecomplete-layoutQuirkFix is a plugin that helps to fix small user quirks during arcade use. It can close emulator after specified period of inactivity. This can eliminate burn in from a game left on. AttractMode has a good screensaver. It can also close emulator after holding signal (key) for specified period of time. This prevents accidental button press exiting emulator. It can also be expanded based on feedback, but would like to keep it lightweight. I just need to compile and create docs.
attract-tag-parser is a ruby script that parses attract tag lists and can tell you which files you have matching/missing, copy resources matching the tag list, etc. Its meant to be used with something like the no filler tag list I created for attract, or any custom one you choose. You can create small romsets tailored for your specific setup. Code is like 90% complete. All components work, but I have some command line print out issues that need to be resolved.
Flavors theme could use a small update. I realized that people are actually using the theme. I’m currently at 0% completion with it. It’s probably a single hours worth of work, to get some small formatting updated and the shaders for vertical mode corrected.
Hopefully I can get these completely finished and shared this week.
I think I figured out in my head how to add animation compatibility to shuffle to make it more wiiflow/conveyor like, while still being super easy and layout developer configurable - but we will see if I ever get to it.
