This is my first Mame HD Set UP!!!

Built this in a month... From Idea to creation, it's not much, but a good start.

Computer is a 6 Terabyte, Duel Core 3.4 System, with the 4870 Readon HD card. 4 Gig ram.

The Control Panel was built buy www.Mameroom.com... Having ALOT of fun program special animation for the LEDS.. hehe

Screen is the 50 inch Plasma 3D. Looks great when playing crysis, bioshock and call of duty 4.

Also the 3D stuff comes from www.ddd.com They don't comunicate well, but it works, soo...

Over 37,000 games on it so far =)

Heres a link to the Video

Tell me what ya think =)

I use the Hyperspin-fe front end... it's free, looks sweet, and growing daily

I got the Samsung plasma 50 inch 3D ready. Went with the Plasma becasue of refresh rates while gaming. The 3D glasses are from www.ddd.com Its works out great with Crysis, I can't get it to load for WoW or Bioshock atm, waiting for a responce back from these guys... They seem to be on a perma vacation when it comes to Support =/

But over all it takes any 2D movie and converts it on the fly to 3D. Note that there is some tearing when it does this, maybe due to my OC, or what not, but like I said i can't seem to get hold of these guys to save my ass.

I had to figure out most of it on my own, and I still think it's worth the 149.00 for the software and the glasses. You MUST have a 3D ready TV. There is an IR that plugs up in the back that kinda looks like a S-Video cable. I was in the market for a new monitor for the cab, and figured might as well go with the 3D one... glad i did.

Yes the 50 inch can rotate. It's a pain in the arse to do it, but I spent 450 bucks on the mounting system...

The control board is all LED'd with LEDWIZ. Each button and stick can change to any color I wish. LEDBlinky has a program out that you can set it up to do differnt wave or animation type things.. actually lots of fun, and time consumming...

The control board was built buy mameroom.com Scott there is the owner, and this man bent over backwards making sure everything was up to MY SPEC's and even helped me trouble shoot some stuff.. mind you this was my first build, so i didn't know squat.. but he was very helpful and even allowed me to call him at 10 11 PM my time, 1, 2 AM his time.. Now that's customer service.

This set up is not for the faint of heart.... 1,700 for the CPU with 6 Terabytes HD Raided.

50 inch Plasma with mounting system, 1,700

Control board with the LEDWiz 2,100...

Being able to play and watch every movie and game in the world in 3D... Priceless

I got the PN50A450 Samsung. Seems like they like the Nvidia cards more, but I got the best card out there ( at the moment ) Just glad that ATI is putting up a fight as it helps all of us with a better product, and price.

www.ddd.com has there own DVD player for the movies. here's the thing tho...

Games that they sell the drivers for, come out AMAZING in 3D. So far the movies, and so far the ones I have bought arnt as great. I have yet to find a movie that uses this technolgy. I bought Spykids, Aleine Adventure, ect ect. They come in 3D... But with the old red and blue glasses. The upside is that it can take any 2D movie and convert it.

I think maybe I am missing something here.. Will have to play with it alittle more once I can the time.

As far as the Hyperspin-fe front end for the mame, I got in touch with the creators of the program and had them come out to vegas for a couple of says to check out the system, and get me dialed in. I have the newest version of Hyperspin, it should be out this week sometime.

These guys are very talented in with thier programing skills, and I can only seeing this thing getting better and better.

As far as getting the newest version, I think you need to sign up to the boards, and that will give ya access to the Download.

I do not work for these guys, but I will give ya a seceret. It helps to get noticed when ya donate to get picked for the closed beta's, OR if you are good with programing to make a few themes yourself and post them up.

Normally I don't pay for a program unless I used it, and know Ill be using it. Once i saw this Front end, I knew that I had to have it, and it was worth giving a few bucks to help watch it grow.

Also comparing the 3D effects from my at home 3D system, compared to the movies... The Movies are 75% better. But mind you, i don't think I have all the little bugs ironed out yet. That and I don't think I have viewed a true 3D movie made for this software YET. Tring to get hold of the guys at ddd. Sent them a Email last week, and they have yet to reply.. Will try calling again this morning when i get to work.

Also for the money you are spending ( 150.00 ) and being able to turn your photo's, any 2D movie into a Semi 3D inviroment, 3D gaming, very well worth the cost.

EQRoxxx

There is a 3DO emulator. Daphen, Playstation 1, NES, SNES, N64... Basically anything from a Playstation 1 and below.

That beign said, I ahve been a game collector since I was 7 and had my first Pong. I use to trade, and I would never trade anything I only had one copy of.

I have a personal collection of over 20,000 games. Tho to be honest most of it is back at my fathers house stuck in a attic. That and 2 years ago, we where broken into and I had 2 PS3's stolen, Countless games.. Oddly enough these guys didn't steal any of the PS3 Games... Guess they looked too much like DVD's for the morons that broke in... LOL

I also have 5 Real arcades in my house atm.. wifes upset so ill have to let a few go... hehe Tho i refuse to let Silent Scope and house of the dead 2 go.. can't really emulate that.

there is ghosting when playing cryis. I don't think that the 3D effect is a good place for first person shooters... It looks SWEET, but to get the dead on accuracy is a pain, and thats what ya need for a shooter game.

WOW on the other hand is fine.

I just watched all 3 matrix in 3D. It looks freaking amasing. but still i feel that DDD is a craptastic company. No support at all. Still waiting for them to return phone calls and emails.

seems that the DDD software that i bought off them is not compatable with opening up bioshock or WOW. so I get some sort of error saying I am tring to use illegal 2nd hand programs tring to play these games.

Plus there is no forums to discuss these things, and I still can't log onto thier site... say's I am not a member even tho I signed up 2 months ago.

So get them, I say... but realize your not going to be getting any support.

you have to open the mame.ini file and allow Mouse there...
