Nice... I guess that must be the only way they were able to emulate those discrete logic games.

Well, I just looked in my full split set and I also don't have a breakout.zip (even though the breakout.zip art works) so those files must be in some parent, even though it isn't listed as a clone. *edit* Ok, I looked in the pong.zip (the source for Breakout is pong.cpp) to see what files where in there and the only thing is pong.netlist... lol. So, I have no idea. o_O

I saw the TTL in the game title, but honestly have no idea what that even means. *edit* Just found this... good information from scree https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/emulation/discrete-logic-ttl-arcade-game-emulation *edit* So, sounds like the "chd" equivalent, or the file that the TTL games need is in the zip file?

Jason Carr said One thing I'm noticing that would be really nice to fix (though it might not be easy) is that the paths to the ROM files are absolute, which breaks portability. For example, the paths come over like this: D:\Dropbox\LaunchBox\Games\MAME\example.zip Instead, if you can manage to make the path relative like this, portability would be maintained: Games\MAME\example.zip Would that prevent me from keeping my roms in folder outside the LB structure? Because none of my roms are in those folders.

scree said It doesn't seem to be included in the full Mame 0.172 romset. At least I couldn't find it. Well, that might explain why I have it in my set because I got the .171-.172 upgrade set. I seem to remember it always being there, though... at least for a long time. Regardless, here are semi-official Breakout and Destroyer artwork packs, from the mameworld forums, for everyone to enjoy. They look great and may not be in your official art packs. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B83sfaum07QoRmFqMjgzekszZTQ&usp=sharing

Not sure... it is in my MAMEUIFX, but doesn't import to LB. *edit* Atari Destroyer did import in the new version, but Breakout did not. *edit* On a side note... as I'm testing the new version I was thinking one thing that might be nice for down the road is if Lightspeed would write your directories to a cfg/ini file so you don't have to fill them each time.

Breakout is breakout.zip... it's the original "Arkanoid" game, by Atari.

I was looking for a couple older games last night and noticed they hadn't been imported. Breakout and Atari Destroyer. Both are working games... are they included in another filter, or is that not intended?

And they are rolling out virtual reality now. Won't be long until people are plugged into a VR machine full time and fed intravenously so they can play virtual reality MMO's full time.

Haha... yeah, totally retro ugly. I found this picture online and it reminded me of the console. The two little paddles lift out of the console and are connected by a wire that you had to stuff back up inside there to get the paddles back in place.

DOS76 said Before my time. They were still around in the Atari 2600 days... I remember we had both at the same time. The Pong didn't get as much love, of course. It's tough to compete with Yar's Revenge. :P

Anybody else have one of these back in the day? lol

I got the turbo twist 2 from Groovy Game Gear, with a couple add-ons it was like $90.

I just ordered a spinner for the control panel, so out of anticipation, I think, decided to do a custom Tempest bezel.

With missing custom data... such as control type, for example (there are many games that do not have a control type listed, which is valuable info for sorting and things like Ultimap, etc) can the custom fields be integrated into the new community update feature so that we can all update the info for the general pool in the database? I guess that's a question more for Jason, but also the cool thing about these projects being merged.

One other thing that might possibly come into play with ":" vs "-" is that ":" is not valid in folder names. With talk about features that will move roms... if, at some point, you wanted to have files moved into folders named after the file, it won't work. Probably won't ever be an issue, but something to think about.

Hey Jason, the source field, on mine at least, is the source file for the rom... or the "family" that the rom is in... for instance the NeoGeo games are neogeo_noslot.cpp. This is the same info that shows in MAMEUI's source field. This would be useful for sorting... for instance if you wanted to look at the neogeo games... arrange by source.

Jason Carr said http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1231969/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Whaaaaaaaaat?!? o_O That's quite a resume.

I started doing some for the landscape orientation games as well. Here's one I just finished for Gauntlet.

I think it would be awesome if you guys could get your two projects integrated. :)

Do you mean to move directly to the next file when you are done editing one? If so, I agree that would be very convenient.

I have one of these also... great for all the 80's pre-analog consoles.

It's not too bad really... I was messing with the settings you mentioned, above... the downside is that it's not usable for Tron because of the lack of 4-way. The bike level is impossible. I was thinking of checking the logitech gaming software to see if it had a directional limiter, but I doubt it does.

I finally got my flight stick. I went with the Logitech. I was playing some Discs of Tron, Space Harrier, Afterburner and a couple others with it so far. Works pretty well. Thanks again for the suggestions. This is the first flightstick I have owned and I notice that the throw is pretty gigantic. I know they were not made for arcade emulation, but it doesn't feel exactly right sometimes. I seem to remember the throw on those sticks being a lot smaller, but it's been a long time too. I looked at the cost of an actual Happ flightstick to mount in a control panel today and they are pretty expensive.

fromlostdays said As a veteran HyperSpinner, I would be remiss not to admonish you for buying those premades. Not on principle but because if you don't build it yourself, you're gonna have a bad time trying to get it to work. Hi... not sure who you are responding to... the bezels, above, are ones that we made. They are working properly. Unless I missed something, no one is talking about buying them???
