Are you more of an arcade enthusiast and less of a "computer guy"? Have you wanted to add a M.A.M.E. cabinet to your collection but dread the thought of putting together a personal computer, getting all the necessary software installed and configured to work properly? Is "tinkering with a PC" not something that you relish ..
Originally posted on the Arcade Crusade Website 10/16/08: I picked up Paperboy for a decent price, though i was told the monitor worked. Of course, it didn't. The PCB's, however, did work somewhat (was told they didn't!)…video and controls were fine, but I only got a "click…click…" loop in the sound with an occasional "bong" ..
SPHERE: A pretty cool looking low resolution horizontal layout. It’s a spiritual sibling to the “Vertical Sphere” layout I made for vertically oriented monitors. I actually had this one finished before I finished the vertical version but I’d not put any finishing touches on it. I sort of dig the “broken glass” effect in the gameslist ..
GAME MONITOR: If large unimpeded video snaps are your thing, this is your theme! It features a large preview section and scrolling games list to the right. All modules necessary to run this game have been included and are implemented in the layout so it should be plug n’ play. This layout was designed to ..
IREM v1.1: Another in the “arcade manufacturer” themed series… with this Irem layout you can select between the standard text, smooth scrolling text, or smooth scrolling logo games list. You can choose game list backgrounds, adjust the speed of the scroll, etc. The difference between v1.1 and the original theme I’ve already released is that ..
NEO-GEO v1.2: This is a straight forward NEO-GEO layout with few options. You can choose a static or animated mini-marquee. You can choose to use a text games list or the games logos, with or without a “shadow” effect… and there are two different backgrounds to choose from. This layout should be plug n’ play ..
NEO SHUFFLE: This is essentially three Neo-Geo layouts in one as you can select a layout which style “skin” you prefer with each with differing sizes of preview and mini-marquee elements. You can select scroll speed as well as a few “background colors” for the behind the mini-marquee “shuffle” window. As are all my layouts, this ..
SDARCADE v2.2: The original SDARCADE theme is one of the first I used with my arcade cabinet and one I really like. It was originally created by Jedione over at the attract-mode forums who was inspired by the ArcadeSD’s front end, but it didn’t work with the Pi. Dee2er modified the theme to work with the ..
SDArcade is the PERFECT Attract-Mode front end theme for lower resolution arcade monitor setups. Originally made by JediOne for the PC version of Attract-Mode in the vein of the ArcadeSD arcade multigame system, Dee2er converted it for use with the Pi. It’s been through a number of changes since then. Version 3 brings to the table ..
SHUFFLE: A simple general-themed layout that utilizes the conveyor_helper modules “Coverflow” option that enables art components to “shuffle” … in this case, the video snaps. It’s a pretty cool animation effect and was quite surprised at how well even the Pi 3 handles it. All modules necessary are implemented in to the layout itself so ..
VERTICAL SPHERE: This theme actually started as a Data East Logo. If you look at the shape of the circle and then the marquee section below, you can see it. It features what I think is a pretty cool “sphere” effect for the preview videos. Marquees slide across the bottom left and right smoothly thanks ..
Many of you may (or may not) have read my write up for the Capcom Anthology cabinet that I have in the arcade. It's running Darksoft's multi CPS2 kit in it, and until recently, I've also been running a Pandora's Box (first it was a PB3 then more recently a PB4) with all games disabled ..
Games Produced by Williams (c)1981 Condition When Purchased: C Current Condition: UNKNOWN This Defender cocktail cabinet pretty much popped right in to my lap this morning. I woke up around 7AM and after a little bit ended up checking out the local craigslist where I spied a Defender Cocktail cabinet having been listed 6 hours prior ..
Reminiscent of 2017, I find myself toward the end of the year and not a single Garagecade Photos entry added. Unlike last year, however, this year I only managed to wait until mid-October, rather than the very end of November to make my mark. Also unlike last year, there has been some changes to the ..
