Decided to take some time to document the arcade build overview. Next video will be quick playthroughs.
Entire List:
gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/col...
Most all PS3, XB360, VITA games are all patched to latest version. Along with every DLC and addon preinstalled. Every retro game is the latest patched rom.
NO DUPLICATES if I can avoid.
EVERY game can be played with any controller. Want to play PS2 with a Sony controller? Just select it! Use a 6 button genesis controller for the wii for fighting games? Sure! Or maybe a rockband controller? Yup! Arcade panel for a xb360 fighting game? Step up!
Sinden Lightgun games - Unique section. Worked a script that removes sinden guns on a hardware level that are only enabled when selecting these games. That means NO resources are in background use and will NOT impact ANY other sections.
Clone Hero - This has EVERY Rockband, Guitar Hero, DLC. Most builds have this, but what I also did is synchronize every single video to every single song also. This means every song feels like you're playing the original game, like the Beatles will show them from the game.
Every emulator is updated to the latest versions.
All games have retroachievements configured.
All games all their media avaliable, so any music videos, manuals, images etc.
Category game art is pulled dynamically. Anytime you move a cursor, it will update. Once in sections, a script will still swap out images dynamically in themes. All categories will only pull art from games in that section.
Games will play random music in background. If you scroll over a game with it's music, it will be played instead.
Every game is formatted to launch with the same TV bezel and format. This means any launched game will LOOK uniform and cohesive.
For counts:
All Games - This is only USA + Euro retail combined, no Translations, unlicensed, network games etc. Easier to view like that.
All DOS games are extracted and ready. All console games are in 1G1R mostly format. Most all ps3, xb360, Xbox, etc games needed a lot of converting and compressing.
All games generate their art dynamically. This means a banner will grab a clear logo and a fanart background (or scan whatever it can) to generate. Any new added games as such can be added on the fly.
All MAME games will have their own high quality original banners and marquee. These are not dynamic. All MAME games have custom bezels and borders matching the arcade cabinet. Console games use their own unique tv bezel.
All games pre PS2 era or so use the same, customized shader I configured. I'll show these in a second video.
All Metadata is filled in, as such, any Related Games are linked in the collection.
This has a Karaoke section. It will display lyrics on the screen, 2 dedicated Stage microphones are here to use. There is a Vocal autotune pedal to use if you'd like. You can hook up instruments for a jam into the mixer and the arcade is now a studio.
Those are Numark HDX turntables, Numark Scratch mixer, a dedicated mackie studio monitor speaker in the back right used only for Shure microphones voice channel. This whole system is fed through a Mackie mixer. These can be used to control any audio file on the pc. I can DJ here. This is all connected to a Onkyo reciever and speakers.
