Was playing around with AppleScript tonight and created a very trivial little front end for starting sdlmame on OSX. Well, more of a dialogue than a front end really. Anyway, if you use sdlmame on a Mac, don't really like bloated front ends with all their screenshots and other stuff then checkout the article, it's under "Misc Stuff" on the left. Wth just a few lines of script then you can avoid having to drop into the terminal all the time! I'll do a bit more work on it another time to add a couple of minor extra features but that'll do as a starter to get you going.

Also found a bunch more repair logs that I must find the time to write up! 3 for Centipede and 1 for a bootleg PacMan pcb that turned out to actually be a Ms PacMan pcb when i got it going (shame!)

Not been doing too much lately, have been too busy with non arcade projects for other people but I have had the time to finally make up a test rig for Atari games that use Audio Regulater (and AR2) based voltages. Nothing fancy but will make working on them somewhat easier I hope. The write up can be found in the projects section of the site.

While I was ordering the parts for that I had to get a small speaker in and as the one in the jamma rig blew I ordered one for that too. Why mention this? It means that very soon I'll be having to open up the jamma rig and so I should finally after all this time get round to taking some more pcitures of the finished kit and get part two of that feature put up as well!!

Added a PCB list to the misc section of the site. I've never really been one to list what i've got and what i haven't but it does make sense to have a list i can point people to in the event of trying to arrange a trade. PLEASE NOTE: Just because something is listed, doesn't mean it's available for sale or trade. That said, everything has a price. However, if i don't really want to sell or trade something then expect that price to be way, way, WAY over the market value

Yet another asteroids repair log added - will need a whole website dedicated to them soon!
