I read through all 132 pages of this thread over the past few days. It's an incredible effort, and was interesting to read the progress over many years.
Thanks very much to Niko and the others who have regularly contributed. I sent Niko some beer money a few months ago, but realising how much time and effort has gone into creating and supporting this I figured he deserved another round on me
.
I'd played around with the image a little a couple of months ago before getting pretty distracted by 2020, but have been on a tear this past week, upgrading the TTX2 I have with 2x2GB RAM modules, and an Intel X6800 CPU (in case I do want to get MAME running). I've also put a removable 2.5" SATA removable hard drive tray slot that makes life a little easier.
I have a couple of questions, if anyone is game.
1) When I press the info, it reports the Memory as '3GB'. Is that to be expected with 2x2GB RAM?
2) When I hit the 'Service' button in my cabinet, nothing much happens. I suspect that this is due to some weirdness with wiring which I intend to look into. Just curious if there's a way to set things like free play in any other way if needed? I'm using it on an Arcooda Gamewizard Xtreme (vewlix clone), IO board pic below.
3) I am think I read that folder support was part of one of the more recent revs for the image. I assumed that meant I could potentially create E:\Fighters\ and E:\Shmups and move the various game folders into those in order to have a shorter top menu on boot, but when I tried, I could see the folders, and enter them to see the list of games underneath, but pressing 'A' didn't start the game (no reaction). Moving the games back up to the root E:\ made them work again. Was I mistaken in thinking this might be possible?
Thanks again Niko and others (Probably forgetting a few, but at including at least atrfate, corey, PascalP and rtw)
