Re: ARpiCADE 4.1

Okay, update time. Things are vertical now BUT! The display_rotate option doesn't seem to be doing anything ... my screen is always upside down, both in the emulator, and in the layout & boot splash. As for how Noami games perform in standard mame... the answer is terribly :) they use software to ru...

Re: ARpiCADE 4.1

Hey mate, I tried out 4.1 and it's giving me the super squashy video like last time before I updated the res files.. (boy I wish I had backed them up.... haha) 20200731_180550.jpg Also, how do I rotate the menu itself? 20200731_180536.jpg Lastly, I tried loading up Ikaruga by populating the noami di...

Re: ARpiCADE 4.1

Thanks for the update mate.

If I replace the version I've got, should I keep a copy of all those files I edited to support vertical, or will this one work fine?

Cheers!

Re: ARpiCADE 4.0 (experimental Pi 4 software)

That's pretty promising. I'd love to be able to capture a higher res through an El-Gato or something while also using the primary display for my Astro City. Also, this is kinda unrelated to the core product, but can I run non-approved MAME games somehow? eg. Rom Hacks etc? I've got a Donkey Kong 'On...

Re: ARpiCADE 4.0 (experimental Pi 4 software)

I got to the bottom of the darkness issue. I replaced the micro/mini? hdmi cable and now it's all good. Now another question. Would there be a way to mirror the output to the 2nd hdmi slot? so I could use some form of capture on it? (using an OSSC) I presume I'd have to use an OSSC as it'd output in...

Re: ARpiCADE 4.0 (experimental Pi 4 software)

I had a look and I have revision #3.

Can you let me know when you get some DACs in stock? I'm happy to buy another one and try it.

I've tried multiple different boards into this cab and it seems to be unique to the RaspberryJamma.

Maybe it's a power issue on my PSU? hmmm

weird.

Re: ARpiCADE 4.0 (experimental Pi 4 software)

So I know I've asked this before. But I get a really dark picture out of my Arpicade. Especially when compared to say my FPGA or a real board. Is there any way to boost the brightness? I am suspecting it may just be the hdmi-vga adapter being used. If you haven't experienced this issue, would I be a...

Re: ARpiCADE 4.0 (experimental Pi 4 software)

Plugged in the Pi 4 and it's looking good. One question though, I notice the brightness is a lot lower than my Mister FPGA or a real board when installed. Is there an overall system brightness level that can be changed? or do I just have to ramp the monitor brightness up? Rotated it using the config...

Re: ARpiCADE 4.0 (experimental Pi 4 software)

Dee2er, mate. I'm going to order myself a Pi 4... Am I safe connecting this to my Astro City? it won't output anything other than 15hz across that connection via the vga -> jamma, right? Worried a 30hz signal will damage my monitor. What else do I need? a heat sink, and mini hdmi -> hdmi adapter? Al...
