what Project MSfiX is supposed to be?

Whew lad that's a pretty old PC to be turning into a MAME cab but it's pretty ideal to turn into a Windows 98 gaming PC. If you're dead set on building a cheap ass mame cab out of it, I'd suggest starting with some kind of narrow shelving unit from Goodwill to hold its monitor which I hope is a VGA CRT up at about five feet high or so. Get a couple sheets of particle board or wafer board and cut them into arcade-cab-shaped sides. This'll be the most important step to making it look nice. Screw 'em into the sides of the shelves, get some plexiglass to make the marquee and monitor bezel then scrounge up some scrap wood to make the front and control panel. Use some cheap Playstation arcade sticks with a blue v shaped USB adapter. If you're going to use an LCD monitor and you want the materials to be even cheaper (just one sheet of wood) you can build a Vigolix. They look pretty good, see pic related. Much more detailed instructions available online, too.

>>4017259
How would i build one of these with limited technological knowledge and not being familiar with getting arcade games to emulate (meaning i do not know how to get a game to work on mame)?

>>4017525
Disregard everything this person just wrote.

Here's what you do OP:

>look on craigslist for a cabinet with a flat control panel suitable for joysticks and buttons. Don't pay over $100 for it. Don't worry if it works or if the monitor is busted
>remove guts and monitor if it is nonworking
>find a CRT -television- (not monitor!)
>mount in the cab in whatever way ya got to
>install some way to play games that gives you a native resolution (usually 240p) image AND low lag.

Do not give a fuck about muh RGB. It's a rabbit hole you don't want to go down and its not worth it. Do NOT use some kind of candy-ass laggy-ass adapters for your controls.

You want a TV because TV's look better than VGA monitors.

>but what about those Sony PVM people always talk about

If you've got one, use it. If not just fucking forget you ever heard of such a thing. You'll be better off for it.

Enjoy your games.

There are only two true Summer Games.

I my goal is to be able to clear all classic mega man games within an hour.

>>4016420
That's cool. I can finish Mega Man 2 within an hour, but that is probably because I finish it once a month.

>>4014278
because the people who have a copy are autistic faggots

>>4014278
FATE 2? Always thought it was called Fate: Gates of Dawn.

Also as a German I'm always excited to see old German games get some love

>>4014457
Fate: Gates of Dawn is the first game, Fate 2 is a much latter game.

What is WINE? Btw, no one has ever asked "What version of *nix do I need to run [insert game]?"

>>4010950
Oh cool so the number is about the same as the amount of games developed for Linux that anyone actually cares about interesting.

>>4017952
I really wanted to enjoy it, but huge FPS drops and silly looking sprite scaling/deformations were standing in my way.

Ok, i can be way off on the popularity of this game, but here it goes.

I loved playing Army men series! Don't remember a single kid playing it though. Everyone was buy playing quake or something, but i loved burning down those plastic soldiers.

That and worms, were my favorite. Check it out.

>>4017392
Croc and Vigilante 8 weren't out when everyone was playing Crash, Spyro and Twisted Metal

I suck then. Completely missed out on big release titles.

I think my first ps game was resident evil, the original one.
Then i got stuck playing GTA, which made my PS a GTA playing console.

>Since I discovered the wonderful world of emulators, i've played damn near all the classics and even the hidden gems of NES, SNES, GBA, and GB...
>really loved Earthbound, Mother 3, and Chrono Trigger
List those "hidden gems" if you've really played them all, my dude.

Also >>>/wsr/

>>4015789

My bad, didnt think this was /wsr/ worthy.

I pretty much played around on anything from the following lists:

http://www.racketboy.com/retro/nintendo/gba/best-undiscovered-nintendo-game-boy-advance-gba-games

http://www.racketboy.com/retro/best-undiscovered-super-nintendo-snes

Gunstar Heroes, Ristar, Vectorman, and Phantasy Star IV.

Mai Waifu sure loves it!

Without question, the most overrated game on PS.

Get a life.

She's your average closet dyke. Nothing special about her.

>>4014397
The irony of saying something like that on 4chan is astonishingly high.

>>4012479
Possibly four attack buttons just because I like having a dedicated block button over just pushing back.

But otherwise, there's so many other factor that'd go into it that the number of buttons isn't first in my mind.

Though if I had my way I'd be making a spiritual successor to Fighter's Destiny.

I myself have gotten the idea of making a fighting game based on Music/Dance Folklore with fighters using Dance styles as gimmicks

And yes i made this.
