We have a working arcade cabinet! (Semi-working, see to-do list - computer1up)
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.
Contents
[hide]synopsis
Have a working arcade cabinet. Write down valuable information here.
implementation
- The system runs windows with JoyToKey
- The system boots to steam (with a lot of games) which has a JoyToKey profile 'JoyToKey' connected to it
- you can also play the 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
JoyToKey profiles
There are several profiles which are attached to a process. By default, the 'Browser navigate (mouse)' profile is set.
current hardware
ideas and improvements
To Do, since the cabinet has been upgraded but is currently not running:
- Fix software: get joy2key up and running again
- Install arduino software for the controls on the cabinet
- Check emulators
- Check games
- Check steam?
- 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.
