still cant believe it and im not very good at these moments putting thoughts into words. I never actually saw how Martins was set up but i know he was using a few different emulators for his games as he used to send me links to his videos on youtube. He would of set up this to his own liking but if you switch it on (its just a normal computer in his cab) and post some pics we may be able to see how he set it up.

What part of Derbyshire, and does the cab have a coin tower? A power button might be in there, otherwise I would have thought at the back bottom base where power cable would normally be connected.

Hi Zed. I'm in Alfreton. I can power it up and get everything on but that's all i know. Getting the games on is another story!

Does it boot up to Windows desktop, if so are there any icons there?

Yea its got windows but it doesnt go to desktop. It goes to my games etc.

Yeah, pictures are gonna be a thousand words here I think, by the sounds of it games were launched by themselves rather than a frontend being used.

He did go on the desktop to get the games on but i have no idea how to do it. Bearing in mind being on here typing is the most technical i get unfortunately.

 

[SegaHel]

Are you nearby?

Then I suspect there has to be a mouse or a place to plug one in to select games.

I am and I'm not, other side of Chesterfield but distance travelling is a bit of an issue atm.

Hi , my condolences and I am
Sorry to hear this sad news .

I must have followed his build as I have been doing the same type of build for a while ..

Regarding launching technoparrot .

Look for a folder called technoparrot .


Then a TeknoParrotUi.exe
To run the front end ..
Once your in the user interface you can launch games ..

He should have the back force feeder all ready configured but you still may need to launch back force feeder program to get the force feedback to work.

He may also have a had a quick launch for the gui which actually
Looks like a pirate parrot .

Also other emulators like
Sega M2
Sega M3
Mame may have separate folders with separate launch files.

Just look for .exe on the end of any file to launch it 👍

Retroman Thankyou for the info. He did go on about teknoparrot alot so that is what he used. I will send more pics and a video tomorrow for all to see. You may be able to understand it more than i can explain.

 

[Retroman839]
