Title: TG on Arcade
Post by: Gogan on January 25, 2010, 03:14:30 AM

Anyone have any info/links pertaining to hooking up a TG/Duo on an arcade machine? If I'm not mistaken, it has been done before.

I think that would be pretty rad.

I'm no whiz at the whole MAME thing, and could use some info/help.

Do u want to hook it to a arcade monitor and rewire the pads to joysticks or run  Magic engine on a PC in a arcade cabinet? I can help a bit with Pc cabinet emulator stuff but actual system not so much. just know you might need a scan convertor or vga box
If you want to hook actual system to cabenit check this out http://reference.tg-16.com/TG16_arcade_manual.pdf

Thanks for the link, ill check it out when I get home.

The Magic Engine route would be fine, but I'm a little over my head with putting it all together.

Magic Engine is a simple emulator. easy to config the controls and easy to load roms or original cd rom titles . pm me if you want to do a step by step for any trouble shooting i also have a msn an skype acount. and can point u to a big rom depot.
