We have a working arcade cabinet! Everybody knows gaming can be a stress relief, so when visiting ACKspace for some social gathering or relaxing, one might recognize value in a working arcade cabinet. === synopsis === Have a working arcade cabinet. Write down valuable information here. The ACKade is connected to fuse group [[Fuse group::A]]. === implementation === * The system runs windows with [http://joytokey.net/en/ <abbr title="Contact the board if the license key disappeared again">JoyToKey</abbr>] * The system boots to steam (with a lot of games) which has a JoyToKey profile 'JoyToKey' connected to it * you can also play the [[Game:Jump Wheel|jump wheel game]] * We have some retro wallpapers! (They're in the 'My Pictures\wp' folder) * When in desktop mode, the 'Browser navigate (mouse)' profile is enabled * There is an on-screen keyboard in the task bar <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-joy2key_profiles"> ==== JoyToKey profiles ==== There are several profiles which are attached to a process. By default, the 'Browser navigate (mouse)' profile is set. <div class="mw-customtoggle-joy2key_profiles mw-code">Click here to view the Joy2Key profiles</div> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" | Browser Jump wheel |- | Stick 1 | (nothing) |- | White 1 | (nothing) |- | Red 1 left | Player 1 jump |- | Red 1 right | Player 2 jump |- | Yellow left | Restart (F5) |- | Yellow right | (no switch) |- | Stick 2 | (nothing) |- | White 2 | (escape) |- | Red 2 left | Player 3 jump |- | Red 2 right | Player 4 jump |- | Hidden left | switch to profile 'JoyToKey' (hold 0.5sec) |- | Hidden right | switch to profile 'Browser navigate (mouse)' (hold 0.5sec) |- ! colspan="2" | Browser navigate (mouse) |- | Stick 1 | mouse pointer (slow) |- | White 1 | left mouse button |- | Red 1 left | right mouse button |- | Red 1 right | navigate back (button 4) |- | Yellow left | scroll down |- | Yellow right | (no switch) |- | Stick 2 | mouse pointer (fast) |- | White 2 | left mouse button |- | Red 2 left | right mouse button |- | Red 2 right | navigate forward (button 5) |- | Hidden left | switch to profile 'Browser Jump wheel' (hold 0.5sec) |- | Hidden right | switch to profile 'JoyToKey' (hold 0.5sec) |- ! colspan="2" | Cave Story+ |- ! colspan="2" | JoyToKey |- | Stick 1 | WSAD |- | White 1 | Z |- | Red 1 left | X |- | Red 1 right | (nothing) |- | Yellow left | (nothing) |- | Yellow right | (no switch) |- | Stick 2 | (arrow keys) |- | White 2 | . |- | Red 2 left | / |- | Red 2 right | (nothing) |- | Hidden left | switch to profile 'Browser navigate (mouse)' (hold 0.5sec) |- | Hidden right | switch to profile 'Browser Jump wheel' (hold 0.5sec) |- ! colspan="2" | nidhogg |- ! colspan="2" | null |} </div> </div> <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-hardware_specs"> ==== current hardware ==== <div class="mw-customtoggle-hardware_specs mw-code">Click here to view the hardware specs</div> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> * ASUS <strike>P5G41-M LE, might be a spare in case of failure</strike> P5N7A-VM ** LGA775 Socket ** 4x DDR2 667/800 DIMM ** Currently unknown Audio chip * Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3,0GHz Dual Core, no hyperthreading * 2x2GB and 2x 1GB RAM, total of 6GB DDR2 800MHz * <strike>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560TI, by Gigabyte, 1GB VRAM (dual 6pin PCI-e PSU connectors), spare</strike> MSI Geforce GTX 470, with aftermarket Zalman cooler (requires fan header on mainboard!), 2x 6pin PSU connector * 320GB Western Digital Blue HDD * Samsung DVD writer * Unknown brand Multi-Card Reader * MS-Tech 550@ Power Supply * OEM Case MiniATX , labelled "boXXed". Arcade cabinet specifications : * Black cabinet with red stripes , labelled "Royal Video: * 4-axis joystick (1 per player) * 3 square buttons (3 per player) * 1 buttons seems to be missing * 2 rectangular buttons (start/select) * 2 round buttons (below 2nd player controls for credits, nr of player) * 19" LCD Screen, 1280x1024 60HZ * Stereo speakers in top Controller specifications : * Arduino Mega 2650 rev 1 * 2 Slots for tokens/coins </div> </div> === ideas and improvements === To Do: * Check emulators * Check games * Anything else that you think should run on the cabinet, please keep it arcade-only though * It would be cool to add extra controllers (read: jump pads) to the arcade. Connections need to be flexible and firm. Note that in the bottom left drawer of the ACKade, there is some material to add some external controllers. * Steam big picture mode currently doesn't play well with the joystick naviation. This needs work. === challenge === [[User:Xopr|Xopr]] really wanted to see the ACKade working, and a challenge ran for 13 months. The winners were: # [[user:stuiterveer|stuiterveer]] for doing all the wiring and working on steam # [[user:Prodigity|Prodigity]] for also doing wiring and various tweaking # [[user:Da Syntax|Da Syntax]] for some tweaking and physical labour # [[user:PsychiC|PsychiC]] for doing spec inventory # [[user:Computer1up|Computer1up]] for GPU upgrade (attempt) # [[user:Vicarious|Vicarious]] for providing means for coin slot button mechanism # [[user:AmazingMike|AmazingMike]] for thougougly testing <gallery> File:retro_shirt.png|Winner!

See current specifications. (Computer1up, Da Syntax) '''2015-11-04''' * Placed ACKade back in hACKspace. (Da Syntax & Prodigity) * Replaced bulky crt with lcd and made bezel black with tape and marker (lol) (Da Syntax & Prodigity) * Rewired (ugggghhhh) and reconnected the buttons (Stuiterveer & Prodigity) * Installed a few games (Stuiterveer) '''2015-11-05''' * Installed JoyToKey to support more games (Prodigity) * Used black tape to cover scratches in glass plate on back (Prodigity) '''2015-11-06''' * Steam big picture mode now automatically starts on boot (Prodigity) * Tricked steam into accepting (second) controller even though it doesn't have enough buttons (Prodigity) * Audio jack on the front of pc is now connected internally and has audio cable hooked up to it (Prodigity) * Network cable has been attached to the ACKade and has been placed out of sight. (Prodigity) * JoyToKey now has profiles assigned to a couple of games, emulating a keyboard when it has to. (Prodigity) * Installed MAME with some ROMS, has its limitations due to the amount of physical buttons. 1 and 2 on keyboard are player 1/2 start buttons, 5 and 6 are for extra coins. (Stuiterveer) '''2015-11-07''' * Made sure the select button on the cabinet is working by wedging a piece of paper between the button face and switch. This is only a temporary fix, we need to look into using a different holder for the switch. (Stuiterveer) </div> </div> Location: [[Location::hACKspace]] [[Category:Arduino]]
