But if all you're running is a an emulator, you need very little more than a Raspberry Pi which has at least 395 times the processing power (700MHz - 1.2GHz), and at least 16- thousand times the RAM (256MB - 1GB) of our starting Space Zap table. You'd probably be able to run the latest AAA games on it.

There's not too much room left.īy comparison, a modern-built cocktail arcade can use an LCD display that could be no more than an inch-and-a-half thick (or less) freeing up all that room underneath.Īnd underneath, you don't need all that much room! You could probably fit any modern PC in there with hard-drive, video card, and everything. With the panel that deals with counting coins (and the box below for collecting them), the wires to connect everything and supply power, and leaving enough room for venting so the whole thing doesn't overheat. Those main boards are sandwiched together in a case that looks roughly the size of a 2-slice toaster. This board contains roughly 12KB of data (might be a little more, was looking at the file size of the ZIP'd MAME ROM file) There are also two ram boards at 8KB each (for a total of 16) There is also a board that contains the game, that is the same dimensions as the CPU board. The blog says it's a Z80 chip, the same sort that powered the Tandy/RadioShack TRS-80. Next, let's look at the CPU of this Space Zap unit. The classics use CRT displays (if they were old enough, they were the kind that used replaceable vacuum tubes) which were bulky, and would take up quite a bit of room behind the display. The first thing that modern arcade tables have over their classic counterparts are the monitors. While arcade tables and their innards may vary depending on the company that produced them (and the exact year of production), I'll be looking specifically at one called "Space Zap", as I found a blog where someone opened up an old unit. The smartphones that we hold in our hands today are more powerful than some of the best supercomputers of that era. It must come to and end.First, we must understand a fundamental: Technology has improved and miniaturized a great deal since the arcade machines of the 70's and 80's. So, please, think before you post these things. Whelsy: you can use the command line, you can make shell scripts, you can use your mind, I have read your posts for months and I KNOW you're an smart guy who is always trying to help people around here with a patience I don't remotely have. There's no need for such thing on GNU/Linux, we have the same functionality just way better implemented.

Daemon TOOLS to run virtual devices? What about emulators loading ISO images without any problems? Who needs that crap-ware Daemon thing? You CAN use the mount command on an ISO image, even on anything as exotic as an Apple HFS floppy image, so stop claiming crapware.

Since emulators can be run in lightweight GNU/Linux enviroments without Xorg backends and closed-source binary drivers (Intel, Nouveau.) on every arch, even using KMS/EGL/GLES like RetroArch does, input/video/audio lag is almost gone (GPU is "fenced"), while you're in lag-land in Windows enviroments. Of course, the interesting ones are ALL on Linux. Most emulators are compiled for GNU/Linux systems. Most emulators are open-source projects. Whelsy, man, I really like you, but this is too much! Repeat with me these FACTS and please don't be spreading mindless ideas around again: That's why I haven't ever fully converted to Linux, EMULATORS! Most are not as good/plentifully as Windows versions and Linux doesn't have a good alternative to DAEMON Tools to run 'Virtual Drives'.

I looked at that a while back, not really realistic if its XWin only, I did use another one on my 'Test Bed' before receiving my RPI (cant remember the name) but again, XWin only! Yeah, its a pretty neat video to use for MAME intro (especially if your of an age where TRON is a 'Classic').

Edit: Wah!Cade looks neat but I think it has to be run in X?
