MAME cab

Hi

Looking at starting this soon. One must have though will be a starwars yoke. I see that a new yoke is made in the US by RAM. it looks great. is it okay? would also like to use with other games also is it possible?

Do you see any issues when using non vector WG screens?
What is the recommended screen for vector and non vector?
What's the best PC and software set up - does it vary by front end?
Is there a MAME FAQ, I didn't see one?
Sory if asking same old question...

Cheers

JB

RAM went out of business earlier this year and one of their yokes will be very difficult and expensive to obtain. Having a yoke will limit the games you can play so a couple of joysticks would be recommended instead.

For the PC it depends on what you want to play, for the arcade classics then any modern (or not so modern) PC will easily be able to play them all, for the newer games that MAME supports then you will need to get the best spec that you can afford as the emulation speed is driven by the CPU spec. An ArcadeVGA card and JPAC from Ultimarc would also be recommended to connect your PC to the monitor and controls.

For front ends try Hyperspin is popular or maybe MAMEUIFX, you can find more details at mameworld here http://www.mameworld.info/

Oh bugger, yes I can see the note on heir website

. Re controls, was going to have interchangeable, so joysticks as well. Main reason was for start wars, so unless I cane get he yoke, I guess will lower the priority and will move onto another project - bloody shame though.

Thanks for coming back though.
