Hola, llego ahora por aqui, así que voy con la #presentacion

Soy un aficionado a la temática friki habitual, en sus vertientes lectura, cine y juegos de mesa.

No soy muy de videojuegos, lo poco que juego suele ser emulado #MAME, #ScummVM y similares.

En cuanto a #lectura me gusta prácticamente todo,; suelo combinar temática #sci-fi y #fantasía con literatura clásica o libros de géneros al azahar para no estar leyendo siempre sobre lo mismo.

Presenting my #MAME demo machine for #RetroFest 2024!

This is an EPOS unit. It's a Partner Audrey A4-1-A with a Celeron J3455 (2.3 GHz Apollo Lake) and 4GB RAM. It's a surprisingly well stacked machine - 4x USB 3, 2x serial, 2x GbE, HDMI out, VGA out, and on-board sound. The touchscreen is bright and clear, too.

So, what have I done with it? I've installed #openSUSE #Kalpa, created an #ArchLinux container with #distrobox and installed MAME in the container. It's running four copies of MAME (the #Psion SIBO emulator) and it's barely breaking a sweat!

This is my first time properly trying out an immutable distro, and I've been pleasantly surprised. It's Just Worked. I don't need this machine perfectly fine-tuned. I just need something quick and stable as a base, and to be able to easily run the latest version of MAME.

They still sell these arcade sticks, but they are expensive and they are only really good for arcade fighters and platformers.

There's a ton of old arcade games that used funky controls like steering wheels, trackballs, handlebars, etc.

It would be neat if someone built a controller for all those oddball knobs and switches.

Projects are generally on hold at the moment, but up-coming priorities are:

▶️ #CTRAN: Full write-up.
▶️ #MAME on #HaikuOS: Fix for an issue with (possibly) an interaction between Qt and SDL. No idea where to begin on this... help?
▶️ #MAME and #DOSBox serial over TCP: Make MAME compatible with DOSBox's serial implementation, including RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR.

I've got loads of other ideas and plans, but they need to wait. Right now those are the priorities, along with having a general clear-out.

I'm to the point where it only takes me a couple hours at my #arcade cab to...

1) install a new Linux distro from scratch,
2) tweak the settings to be cab-friendly,
3) get #MAME & AttractMode totally setup, and
4) get a curated up-to-date ROM list installed

I should probably write something up for that on my blog...
