JoyToKey profiles

There are several profiles which are attached to a process. By default, the 'Browser navigate (mouse)' profile is set.

ECS/Foxonn MCP61PM-AM HT2000 (Docs refer to the -AM as a Gateway Brand OEM Board)
AMD Athlon(tm) 62 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 2.40GHz
4x 1GB RAM, total 4GB
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Dedicated Card (to be upgraded to an ASUS 8800GT with 512MB of VRAM soon (update: system somehow refuses to boot with this graphics card installed, may be troubleshooted later but not really needed))
Seagate 120GB SATA 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

ideas and improvements

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

Xopr really wanted to see the ACKade working, and a challenge ran for 13 months. The winners were:

stuiterveer for doing all the wiring and working on steam
Prodigity for also doing wiring and various tweaking
Da Syntax for some tweaking and physical labour
PsychiC for doing spec inventory
Computer1up for GPU upgrade (attempt)
Vicarious for providing means for coin slot button mechanism
AmazingMike for thougougly testing

Winner! A (new) retro shirt in your size, winners: stuiterveer and Prodigity
Runner up: Awesome NES controller tin complete with mints, winners: Da Syntax and PsychiC
3^rd place: your favorite delicious beverage, club mate, winners: Computer1up, Vicarious and AmazingMike

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)

-We have an arcade cabinet!
+We have a working arcade cabinet!
-Now, the problem is, it doesn't work, (or worse, nobody knows its state). 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.

-Get the arcade cabinet fully working again. Choose the path of least resistance for maximum profit.
+Have a working arcade cabinet.  Write down valuable information here.
-=== challenge ===
-[[User:Xopr|Xopr]] really wants to see the ACKade working, and the challenge is running for '''more than a year now''', so here are the conditions to win:

-* at least one platform/emulator working (reduced from three)
-* have at least three games working
-* '''deadline''' is 31 december '''2015'''
-* more info on the wiki, more points to win

+* 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)
-* The system boots to steam which has a Joy2Key profile 'Joy2Key' connected to it
 * When in desktop mode, the 'Browser navigate (mouse)' profile is enabled
 * There is an on-screen keyboard in the task bar
