Hi all , So I posted yesterday regarding the fitting of my DMD I have had for 5 or so years and others seemed interested in the front end I was using. The software I use is one that I developed and completely re writ the other week. If i get enough interest I will release the software for free (Non commercial use only, If you want this for commercial then please contact me).
Link here :- https://www.ukvac.com/forum/threads/adding-a-dmd-to-my-mame-cab.80674/
I basically wrote this as I could not find anything out there that matched my needs 100% and for me this does. It may not suite everyone else's though.
Features :-
1) Pre loaded list of nearly 40000 games or you can add games manually
2) Full auto scalable main screen 1024 X 760 up to 3840 X 2160 (Settings screen is 1366 x 768 unscaled)
3) Game checks to see if you actually have the game (Rom)
4) Marquee (DMD) Support
5) Easy setup, Be ready & playing in 5 minutes. No ini's / Batch to configure everything is done within the software its self.
6) Left and right scroll through the category's
7) Auto category's or add your own
8) Standard Snaps or Video snap support
9) No crazy install - Just extract the zip and run.
10) Windows based system
Lost more but just a few.
Main screen here :-
And the settings screen here :-
***** NOTE:- TO ENTER SETTINGS PRESS CTRL + S (This will auto open the first time you run or if you have no games in the list) *****
1) Click 'Add' top left to add the location of your mame exe. Other boxes below that are filled automatically.
2) Select your images / videos and extensions.
3) If you want background music then select the background audio file and tick 'Play Background Music'
4) Select your required config from the tick boxes (Pretty self exoplanetary)
5) Search you game or use the dropdowns in the left list and once you have selected the game click 'Add Game'. Game will appear in your list on the right hand side. You can remove game , Edit game or add game (This is a manually game add). At this point you can edit the game and add your own Category if you like.
6) Click save top right & click save bottom right. This will save bot the setting and the games you have selected.
All settings will be applied , You can click the 'X' to exit settings. Your games list will now be seen and you can start playing !
My machine with DMD working :-
I may also add multiple skins as well in the future.
So a little about the software , If you are interested then leave a message here and I will add you to the list. This is prety much ready for Beta release to be fair so would only be a weeks or so wait.
Dave.
P.S Any questions then please feel free to ask.
