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???

Looks really cool, Scree... nice idea to do them for different systems. I have been making a bunch and having a lot of fun with it... my screenshots have been turning out really poorly, though... the only way I can figure out how to capture the bezel with RL is using the old fashioned print screen and the aspect ratios look messed up... maybe because of dual monitors? Not sure. Anyway, thanks for showing off your snapshots.

I also have a full split set and it is working fine. What MAME exe version do you use?

Sorry, I was trying to edit that I missed that he had changed his paths already, but for some reason the forum is telling me I don't have permissions to edit my posts.

Some of the default paths you will want to change... make sure they point to where you have your various files.

I think that comes back to the need for more sorting options.

In my last import, 1941 had double entries again... weird that it is only that game. I have not found another example like that. Simple as deleting and manually importing, but thought I would mention it.

When sorting by "Release Date Year", I would like to be able to sub-sort each year alphabetically by title. In other words, grouped by year, sorted by title. In general, a secondary sorting option would be pretty useful.

With the changes in DOS game importing, should games, such as GoG, that were originally DOS but install PC style now show under the DOS or PC section in LB?

Just finished with the first import of the new rom set, and looking things over. Everything looks perfect. Very streamlined. The only thing I could even spot as a possible bug, which is pretty insignificant, is it looks like a "blank" emulator entry was added in my list of emulators. Obviously, not a big deal. Looking good.

On a side note, I just got 12+12 as the forum "math required" question... if it goes much higher I'm not going to be able to post.

Thanks, Jason... back to business as usual.

Is there an .exe we can download somewhere if we are unable to open LB to update?

Probably something on my end, but the 2nd beta version today, the one just uploaded, will not launch. Usually, it re-launches after updating but did not. Also, my normal icon to launch LB is not working.
