  1. Re:sounds like some arcade pricing ways where some by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on EA To Charge For Game Demos

    I already have.. The nice thing is, I have the key to take the quarters out afterwards!

  2. Re:Trash the X-box ... Starcraft 2 will be here so by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on Xbox 360 Update Will Lock Out Unauthorized Storage

    I have already got one running Lincade. Between the cabinet, the Wells/Gardener 30" monitor and HAPP controls, I have got some serious $DOUGH$ invested in the hardware. No console runs these games like this, and even the coin slot works!

    Even a lowly P4 2ghz isn't all that bad for just web surfing

    My hard-core, purpose built gaming rig runs a 1.6G P4 with 384M of RAM. And when I say purpose-built, I mean it. HAPP controls and joysticks, tornado spinners, a 30" Wells/Gardener monitor with LinCade running xmame, it is amazing what you can do with old hardware.

  4. The year was actually 2005 by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on Source Code of Several Atari 7800 Games Released

    My hardcore gaming rig runs Lincade. We are talking serious commercial grade stuff here, HAPPS controls, Tornado spinners, and a 30" Wells/Gardner monitor in a SlickStik cabinet. If you are setting an arcade cabinet, make sure you get Lincade. There is no better gaming experience!

  5. Re:Gentoo is Linux's answer by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on The Incredible Shrinking Operating System

    Gentoo runs my hard-core gaming rig. Yes, it drives my hardware just fine. And there is no unnecessary bloat.

  6. Re:For a really big trackball... by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on Mouse or Trackball?

    I used to have a similar setup on my cabinet (Mame32 on Win XP). Then my hard drive died and I installed Lincade on the new one. The performance blew XP away, and it handles all of the video modes of my Wells/Gardner arcade monitor and ArcadeVGA card nicely.

  7. Re:Hmmm. by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on Dell Asking ATI For Better Linux Drivers

    I had similar experiences. I have used both nVidia and ATI cards in my Linux boxes. While the nVidia cards were supported fine in all distros I used, the cards themselves kept frying and always had to be replaced. I replaced my fried BFG card with an ATI and it worked fine. On my arcade cabinet, I use an ATI based ArcadeVGA card to drive the Wells/Gardener arcade monitor, and it works fine with Lincade.

  8. Re:Pay for nice wood by El_Oscuro · · Score: 1 · on Project Arcade

    I got the slikstik too. Expensive but sweet. The W/G 9200 arcade monitor and arcadevga card were also musts, as well as the tornado spinner for Tempest. While I could have built the cabinet (I made everything from raised panel kitchen cabinets to bedroom furniture), setting up the controls to work well would have been a major project. So I bought cabinet from SlikStik, the monitor from W/G, and the arcadevga card, then installed Lincade. Truly sweet!
