<p>Kelroy: </p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> {{Portal|name=Software}}<br /> [[Image:Typical-software.png|right|260px]]<br /> A variety of '''Software''' and '''Emulators''' allow you to play a huge number of arcade, console and PC games on a computer. The software used as a foundation of a home arcade machine generally consists of an ''emulator(s)'' to run specific games (called ''roms'') on a computer and a ''front-end'' to provide a menu system to allow players to select from a list of games. Recently, the desire for multiple uses of an arcade cabinet and/or enhancing the game-playing experience have brought about the use of additional software, perhaps to play a PC game, allow use of the cabinet as a jukebox, or for lighting and configuration enhancements.<br /> <br /> Software has gone through great leaps and bounds since the inception of this hobby. As an example, in the late 90's, a common route many people were choosing was the [http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/ PC2Jamma] method originally conceived and implemented by Brian Lewis. Typically, MAME was used as a game emulator, ArcadeOS as the front-end, and DOS as the operating system, since this allowed the use of real arcade monitors. Since then, hardware has been developed to make using an arcade monitor from other operating systems simple, and more complex front-ends and emulators have been developed to utilize PC hardware better. <br /> <br /> ==Arcade, Console and Computer Emulators==<br /> * [[Arcade Emulators]]<br /> * [[Game Consoles]]<br /> * [[Handheld Consoles]]<br /> * [[Home Computers]]<br /> * [[Computer Components]]<br /> * [[Other Emulation]]<br /> * [[Simulators]]<br /> * [[Pinball]]<br /> * [[TV Games]] - Hardware based small devices, that hold retrogames<br /> <br /> ==Front-Ends &amp; Menu Systems==<br /> * [[Front-Ends]]<br /> ** [[Screens, Titles &amp; Extras]]<br /> ** [[Wrappers|Wrappers]]<br /> * [[Hiding Windows]] - How to hide Windows.<br /> <br /> ==Jukebox, Music and Multimedia==<br /> * [[Jukebox Software]]<br /> ** [[CD Ripping]]<br /> ** [[Jukebox Plug-Ins]]<br /> * [[Multimedia Software]]<br /> <br /> ==ROM Images==<br /> Emulators require ROM image files to work.

It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.<br /> <br /> Snes9x is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.<br /> <br /> Currently there are many ports of Snes9x available&quot; (SOURCE:[http://www.Snes9x.com/ http://www.Snes9x.com/])<br /> <br /> ==How do I set it up?==<br /> This is a standalone emulator with a GUI just download and execute. The key to screen rotation is matching display resolution with the output of the emulator. The default for this emulator a menu is visible at startup. In a normal situation the escape key would hide this menu but most Mame™ machines employ the escape key to end the current emulation. This can be overcome with the use of a [[Wrappers|wrapper]]. With the use of a Wrapper Snes9x is a very stable seamless emulator for arcade machines.<br /> <br /> NOTE: In version 1.51 a cfg setting was added to auto-hide the menu on start up a wrapper is still necessary in order to route the esc key to end the emulator.<br /> <br /> ==Command Line Parameters==<br /> Snes9x can be executed via the command line as follows:<br /> <br /> '''Brief:'''<br /> <br /> &quot;C:\Snes9x Folder\Snes9x.exe&quot; &quot;D:\Some Folder\Your Roms\Romfile.smc&quot; &lt;&lt;With quotations<br /> <br /> If you have the Snes9x pointed to a specific ROM directory &lt;&lt;Default &quot;./roms&quot;:<br /> &quot;C:\Snes9x Folder\Snes9x.exe&quot;

in pixles<br /> <br /> Vertical Desktop resolution: <br /> “600 x 800” or “Smaller Value x Larger Value” or &quot;Width x Height&quot;<br /> <br /> Snes9x Does not have a setting to rotate the display so you must specify a vertical resolution in the video settings of the emulator. This resolution must match the resolution of your desktop and your desktop must be rotated. You can specify Snes9x to stretch to fit the given resolution, the distortion is unnoticeable. The vertical display modes can be set manually via the .cfg if you are using snes9x v1.51,. Else the display modes do not appear in the video setting of Snes9x until your desktop display is at a vertical resolution.<br /> <br /> NOTE: Many emulators do not support rotated display to overcome this specify a vertical resolution in the video settings of said emulator. <br /> <br /> =='''See Also''':==<br /> * [[Game_Consoles|Zsnes]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Software]]</div>

Temperature is a good example of analog data.<br /> *'''[[FYI:_Arcade_Authenticity|Arcade Authenticity]]''', A measure of how accurately a game visually compares to it's original arcade version (i.e. the original game PCB playing on the arcade monitor it was intended to).<br /> <br /> ==B==<br /> *'''Bemani''', synonymous with the rythm and dance game genre. Originally from ''Be''at''Mani''a - the first rythm game in the genre.<br /> *'''[[Bezel]]''', A shroud surrounding the monitor of an arcade cabinet so as to frame the monitor and hide the inner workings of the arcade cabinet. <br /> *'''Bucking magnet''', A magnet that is glued to the back of a speaker magnet to counteract the magnetic field the speaker produces. Normally used to allow placement of speakers close to monitors without the speaker's magnetic field distorting the monitor's picture.<br /> *'''BYOAC''' short for &quot;Build Your Own Arcade Controls&quot;. Also the name of the [http://arcadecontrols.com/ website] and [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/ community] that spawned this Wiki.<br /> *'''BYOACer''' a member of the Build Your Own Arcade Controls community.<br /> <br /> ==C==<br /> * '''Cab''' Short for &quot;Arcade ''cab''inet&quot;.<br /> * '''[[Cabinet friendly software|Cabfriendly software]]''' Software that is easily operated on an arcade cabinet.<br /> * '''Cap-kit''', [[Capacitor Kit]] - The capacitors (electronic components) on monitor circuit boards tend to go bad after a while, causing color and picture distortion. Replacing the capacitors (and other related electronic components) will often fix such problems. The collection of capacitors and other components that are needed to repair the monitor are referred to as a &quot;cap-kit.&quot;<br /> * '''CMYK''' CMYK is a color description scheme used in printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. Mixing various amounts of these four colors produces the other colors needed in the printing process.<br /> * '''Cockpit cabinet''' An arcade cabinet that is enclosed. The player sits inside the cabinet to play the game.<br /> * '''Cocktail cabinet''' An arcade machine that is shaped like a small table. Players sit at the table and play the game looking down on the monitor. The monitor is oriented so that it is facing upwards.<br /> * '''[[Coin Doors|Coin door]]''' A metal door on an arcade cabinet where players insert money or tokens to be able to play the game.<br /> * '''COM''' Common - a connector on a microswitch that is always used, regardless of whether the other connector used is NC or NO.<br /> * '''Control panel''' The panel of wood on an arcade cabinet or desktop arcade controller that is the home for the pushbuttons, joysticks, and other arcade controls used by the arcade machine.<br /> * '''Console''' can have different meanings dependant of the context it is used in:<br /> :#short for &quot;Game console&quot; (see glossary [[#G|G: Game console]])<br /> :#The keyboard/screen combination from which a (remote) computer is operated<br /> :#The commandline interface to directly issue basic commands to the computer's operating system (example: The DOS version of MAME is lauched from a DOS-console).<br /> * '''CP''' Short for &quot;[[Control panel]]&quot;<br /> * '''CPO''' Acronym for &quot;Control Panel Overlay.&quot; A CPO is a piece of vinyl or similar material originally used to cover the metal or wood control panel, display control instructions and branded game art.<br /> * '''CRT''' Cathode Ray Tube - a type of monitor with a glass tube. You are probably most familiar with a CRT monitor in the form of older televisions and computer monitors (non-LCD based).<br /> <br /> ==D==<br /> *'''DDR''' Dance Dance Revolution. A series of dance arcade games made by Konami. The series is named ''Dancing Stage'' in Europe, however many Europeans refer to the games by the DDR name.<br /> *'''Degaussing''' The process of demagnetizing (removing the magnetic field) of a monitor that can build up over time or occur from external sources, to remove the color or picture distortion caused by the field.<br /> *'''Desktop arcade controller''' A box that holds arcade controls use to play video games. The box is usually somewhere around 3 feet in width and 1.5 feet deep, and is designed to sit on a desktop when played. Unlike a full arcade cabinet, a desktop arcade controller only holds the arcade controls and internal electronics. No monitors, speakers, or computer are part of a desktop arcade controller. Some people have designed a complete &quot;arcade-in-a-box&quot; that goes beyond this definition, including the computer inside the controller, but this is rare.<br /> *'''Digital''' Digital data is data that is either on or off, one or zero, high or low. A pushbutton is a good example of data that is represented digitally. The button is either pressed, or not pressed. The amount that the pushbutton is pressed is not measured. A pushbutton that is pressed half-way down is still considered to be &quot;off&quot; until it makes final contact with the microswitch beneath it, at which point it is considered &quot;on.&quot; Compare to ''Analog''.<br /> *'''Diode''' A diode is a device that in simplest terms only allows electricity to flow in one direction. A diode has two ends: a cathode (-) and an anode (+). Current can only flow from the anode to the cathode, but not the other direction.

<p>Kelroy: </p> <hr /> <div>''Wrappers'' are additional applications that allow certain emulators to work properly with a frontend or arcade setup.<br /> <br /> Most emulators are not designed with frontends or arcade machines in mind, and therefore may cause some or all of the following issues to arise when they are attempted to run that way, such as:<br /> <br /> * ''Requires specific keys to be pressed at startup''<br /> * ''Starts in windowed mode (as opposed to full screen)''<br /> * ''Loses ‘focus’ to the application when starting (preventing keystrokes from working)''<br /> * ''Will not exit the software without a key or mouse button press''<br /> <br /> This is where a wrapper comes in. Instead of running the emulator directly, you run the wrapper, and the wrapper in turn runs the emulator or application for you. However, the wrapper takes care of any miscellaneous issues that arise, such as listed above.<br /> <br /> In order to use a wrapper, it will require additional configuration. You will need to configure the frontend to run the wrapper executable, and you will also need to configure the wrapper, usually by editing ini files (text configuration files), and inform it on how to run the emulator or application.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Wrappers by Howard Casto ==<br /> <br /> The following wrapper programs have been provided by '''Howard Casto''' at the [http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/static.php?page=wrapperdownload Lazarus/Dragon King Homepage]:<br /> <br /> * '''Chankast Wrapper 2.5''' (Daemon /Alcohol Edition): runs the Sega Dreamcast emulator [[Chankast]] and also manages pesky configuration tweaks required for each game.<br /> * '''Microsoft Pinball Arcade Wrapper:''' runs the Microsoft PC game [[http://www.microsoft.com/games/pinball/ Pinball Arcade]]<br /> * '''Visual Pinball Wrapper 4.0 Enhanced:''' runs the [[Other Emulation|Visual Pinball]] emulator<br /> * '''Generic command line wrapper 7.0:''' runs many command line programs, and comes preconfigured for [[Zinc]]<br /> * '''Generic keypress simulator wrapper''' (preconfigured for [[Final Burn]])<br /> <br /> <br /> The Following Wrappers are available as well, but are very old (and thus not supported).<br /> <br /> * '''U64 wrapper 2.0:''' runs the Ultra64 hardware based emulator [[Ultra64]]<br /> * '''Modeler wrapper:''' runs the Sega System 32 and Model 1 emulator [[Modeler]]<br /> * '''Impact wrapper:''' runs the [[Impact]] emulator<br /> * '''S11 wrapper''': runs the [[S11]] emulator<br /> <br /> == Wrappers by other authors ==<br /> <br /> * '''[http://www.spacefractal.com/files/App/FuturePinballWrapper.zip Future Pinball Wrapper]:''' runs [[Pinball|Future Pinball]] and get the keyboard focus work.

The key to screen rotation is matching display resolution with the output of the emulator. The default for this emulator a menu is visible at startup.

This resolution must match the resolution of your desktop and your desktop must be rotated. You can specify Snes9x to stretch to fit the given resolution, the distortion is unnoticeable.<br /> <br /> NOTE: Many emulators do not support rotated display to overcome this specify a vertical resolution in the video settings of said emulator. <br /> <br /> == See Also: ==<br /> * [[Game_Consoles|Zsnes]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Software]]</div>

<p>Kelroy: </p> <hr /> <div>''Wrappers'' are additional applications that allow certain emulators to work properly with a frontend or arcade setup.<br /> <br /> Most emulators are not designed with frontends or arcade machines in mind, and therefore may cause some or all of the following issues to arise when they are attempted to run that way, such as:<br /> <br /> * ''Requires specific keys to be pressed at startup''<br /> * ''Starts in windowed mode (as opposed to full screen)''<br /> * ''Loses ‘focus’ to the application when starting (preventing keystrokes from working)''<br /> * ''Will not exit the software without a key or mouse button press''<br /> <br /> This is where a wrapper comes in. Instead of running the emulator directly, you run the wrapper, and the wrapper in turn runs the emulator or application for you. However, the wrapper takes care of any miscellaneous issues that arise, such as listed above.<br /> <br /> In order to use a wrapper, it will require additional configuration. You will need to configure the frontend to run the wrapper executable, and you will also need to configure the wrapper, usually by editing ini files (text configuration files), and inform it on how to run the emulator or application.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Wrappers by Howard Casto ==<br /> <br /> The following wrapper programs have been provided by '''Howard Casto''' at the [http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/static.php?page=wrapperdownload Lazarus/Dragon King Homepage]:<br /> <br /> * '''Chankast Wrapper 2.5''' (Daemon /Alcohol Edition): runs the Sega Dreamcast emulator [[Chankast]] and also manages pesky configuration tweaks required for each game.<br /> * '''Microsoft Pinball Arcade Wrapper:''' runs the Microsoft PC game [[http://www.microsoft.com/games/pinball/ Pinball Arcade]]<br /> * '''Visual Pinball Wrapper 4.0 Enhanced:''' runs the [[Other Emulation|Visual Pinball]] emulator<br /> * '''Generic command line wrapper 7.0:''' runs many command line programs, and comes preconfigured for [[Zinc]]<br /> * '''Generic keypress simulator wrapper''' (preconfigured for [[Final Burn]])<br /> <br /> <br /> The Following Wrappers are available as well, but are very old (and thus not supported).<br /> <br /> * '''U64 wrapper 2.0:''' runs the Ultra64 hardware based emulator [[Ultra64]]<br /> * '''Modeler wrapper:''' runs the Sega System 32 and Model 1 emulator [[Modeler]]<br /> * '''Impact wrapper:''' runs the [[Impact]] emulator<br /> * '''S11 wrapper''': runs the [[S11]] emulator<br /> <br /> == Wrappers by other authors ==<br /> <br /> * '''[http://www.spacefractal.com/files/App/FuturePinballWrapper.zip Future Pinball Wrapper]:''' runs [[Pinball|Future Pinball]] and get the keyboard focus work. ''(By Space Fractal)''<br /> * '''[http://www.emuchrist.org/cpviewer/visualpinball.htm PinballWrapper]:''' runs [[Pinball|Visual Pinball]]. ''(By John E.
