news and progress

pc is up and running mamewah 1.161 just fine. need to set up keyboard combos inside MAME so that we can manipulate everything from the control panel. kurt brought in buttons, tape, and wiring so we can start drilling the new control panel. next monday or tuesday we should be able to bring the cabinet into the office and start working on it there.

i guess i have to buckle down and actually start designing the control panel!

setting up mamewah was tricky but manageable. i think i would have had an easier time of it if the documentation had been more complete. i’m pretty sure it wasn’t my fault, either. i’m used to reading man pages and all that crap, but these docs were not good. they were okay for general stuff, but after you get past the generics and into the details, they pretty much fell apart and i wound up looking online for a LOT of the stuff that i wound up using.
