 ===== Mamebox ===== ===== Mamebox =====
 +
 +The Nixified™ arcade machine with a shitty PC inside.
 +It runs [[https://www.mamedev.org/|mame emulator]] underneath, and allows running a bunch of arcade games,
 +that're loaded directly from our NAS storage.
 +
 +==== TODO ====
 +
 +=== Push the NixOS config to hscloud ===
 +
 +**Status:** There's CR that does that, are we going to push it?  
 +
 +=== Better hardware ===
 +
 +We could replace the current PC with the spare Thinkpad x250 (i5-5300U/8GB). It should improve the performance of some games, and maybe even allow us to emulate some non-arcade platforms.
 +
 +**Status:** In progress, the nix config is almost installed, so devices replacement is the next step.
 +
 +=== N64 (?) ===
 +
 +With the new hardware, we could try to make our arcade //less-arcade//, and run some newer home consoles. The N64 seems like a good start, as it runs Super Smash Bros :3 
 +
 +The [[https://www.pj64-emu.com/|Project64]] seems like mature project for that, and minimum hardware requirements are really low.
 +
 +N64 controller offers: 1 × analog stick 10 × buttons, and digital D-pad, so for many games we might want to
 +have some additional ports that would allow us to connect external gamepads...
 +
 +The unified UI between mame and N64 games might be a cherry on top, although I'm not sure about capabilities of current UI.   
 +
 +=== Ninten**don't** ===
 +
 +
 +
 +The GameCube support would be also nice //(Definitely not because of Smash Bros)//, though the [[https://dolphin-emu.org/|dolphin emulator]] might require even more powerful machine. And as the mamebox, is, well, box... 
 +
 +> Did you know it's actually really easy to hack you Wii?
 +
 +We can put GC capable Nintendo Wii inside. They are really cheap these times, and apart from GameCube games, they can run many //**awesome**// titles like WiiSports Resort, and Major Minor's Majestic March! //(btw, PaRappa the Rapper on arcade when??)//
 +
 +The issues with it are mostly the same as with N64, and as we're talking about external device, we could probably connect both to the kvm DVI switch. 
 +

 +==== Archive ====
 +
 +Considering the current state of the arcade, most of the information from this section is outdated. Left it here for now, as some of them might be still relevant ~[[people:noisersup:start|noisersup]]

 +Mam do oddania sprawne mobo z prockiem AMD3800+ (x2) i 2GB RAMu. Odpala nawet xbmc, a co dopiero emulatory 8-i-16-bitowych maszyn. Ma wyjście VGA i DVI, 4 USB, port LPT ale nie ma portu RS232. Grafikę ma znośną (wbudowane 6600LE), ew. mogę dorzucić 8500GT. Do tego odnajdę jakiś zasilacz i dysk.
