Looks good, although, I'd add a Marquee to it.
Right click to to see correctly. Not sure why tronsector is squishing the image.

The pictures look fine here, it could be your browser though.
Do you use IE, FF or another?
Good idea about adding a marquee, it could even be removable so you can make it look more "original".

I use Firefox. But, i checked it in MS internet explorer but it still looked squashed. Makes the image look semi cube shaped. It looks fine at imageshack and if I right click, view image.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I have FF on one computer but never use it.
By the way how exactly do you run mame? All I can find is things about DOS commands, is there an easier way?
Also the ROM folder isn't there.
And I know there is one called Mame ui (or iu?) which has the "front end" but I cant find a download, any ideas?

http://www.mameui.info/
Click on MAMEUI64 .145 for Windows 64 bit or MAMEUI32.145 for Win 32 bit. Once downloaded extract to whatever directory you want it to be in. Make a shortcut of MameUI64/32.exe for your desktop.
Each of the folders/directories in the Mame directory is named after what kind of files go in them. You'll need roms to run it.
Also, it helps to have samples and snaps. Some games require the samples for proper sound and snaps are so you can see an image of the game in the Mame UI when cycling through games. If your into the historical aspect of the games, I'd get the other files associated with mame.
Some games require special files called CHDs. These were for arcades that had Hard Drives in them. Most of these games will run very choppy unless you have a decked out pc because of the emulation being so complex. 3D based games in particular.
Once you have roms in the roms directory you'll launch the game by double clicking a game title or highlighting it with the arrow keys and pressing enter. Once in the game hit TAB and configure your controller like I had shown in a few previous posts. Then tab out of setup menu and have fun. The general setup is all that's needed to play any game but you might find the controller scheme doesn't work well with some. So each game can have custom setups from the TAB menu after you've launched a game.
I've got some relatives coming down to visit my parents this week. So, the wife and I are taking the family over to see them. I'll drill and thread the weight for the set screws while I'm there. Then I'll assemble it and give it a test run. Just using washers it spins nicely, so I know it'll work great with these aluminum disks.
I'll have to wait on the new knobs for the spinners. Our youngest daughter has to get tubes in her ear to drain some fluid to improve her hearing. But, the knob I'm using for the prototype works fine for now. It's an old OSCAR Controllers spinner knob. Solid aluminum. I've also picked up some more Optix acrylic sheets. I'll give shaping them another whirl. I think the reason I was getting the bubbles before was from getting too impatient and holding the torch too close to the acrylic.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online Jet Lives! |

I tried but I get the "windows cant open this, what program would you like to open it with".
Any ideas why it would do that?
Looking forward to hearing about the rest, and I hope your daughter's procedure goes well.  Thanks to FlynnOne for the signature!

Are you talking about the downloaded zip file? If so, you'll need 7zip to open and unzip it. http://www.7-zip.org/
If your talking about Mame itself, you just click on MameUI32.exe found in your mame folder to launch Mame. You can't click on roms directly. They are designed for the original hardware that the roms ran on. Mame emulates the electronics hardware that were in the original arcade machines. So, you'd need to launch the rom/game from within the MameUI program.

Thanks. We have to build up a little money. Our deductible is going to be around $500 out of pocket. Within a month we should have the procedure done. It's an out patient procedure. So, it'll be an easy thing to deal with.
One of her sisters was playing with a q-tip trying to clean her ear and jammed it in about 6 months ago. She had blood coming out of her ear and had to be brought to the emergency room. Her eardrum has healed but fluid keeps building up behind her drum. The doctor seems to think that's what is affecting her performance in kindergarten. It's like hearing underwater. So, if this fixes the problem, we'll be ecstatic. Jet Lives! |

Its like it would download as an icon that cant be opened, not a zip file. I guess I will try 7-zip to see if that works. Normally I use windows extract, would 7-zip be better? Thanks to FlynnOne for the signature!

Would this be any good for a spinner?

I couldn't tell you. It looks nice though. If the dial doesn't spin freely then I'd say no.
I finished my spinner design. I'm going to try making the frame out of metal to see if it's easier first. It works great, and I kept it at around 40 dollars. The thing is solid and will last the life of the cab. Parts would be extremely easy to replace. Nothing custom except the flyweight I made. And with a drill press, anyone can make the flyweight. But if someone doesn't have the tools they can buy a flyweight from here.

No drill press, would like on though.
So around $40? That's not bad! Since it seems to work for you I will likely go with that.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I got pretty good at bending the plastic without bubbles, but getting all the bends the same and all the sides the same length was frustrating. So, if the metal frame works out better, I'll post the details on it. Hopefully by the end of next week. I've got some flooring to do this week.
