Winners Don't Use Drugs

I always laugh when I see that in video games. It reminds me of an episode of the simpsons. Anyways, I've been playing with the iMame and have the video working really well. I've got it playing at 800 x 600 and use OpenGL scaling to stretch the video to the full screen and apply a few filters over the top to give it a really nice look.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

I need to now find a really nice small sound system that I can use. I'm going to basically build a mini arcade unit. If you can imagine an arcade machine with the bottom cut off so all you see is a the monitor and the controllers. It'll mean I can take it anywhere and put it wherever I want. I'm happy it's finally happening!

That's some sweet pics there. You know what would be cool? A downloadable quicktime movie of the mini arcade unit from bootup to some serious game playin' !

i love the "don't trash it, recycle it!" bits more. sure, winners don't do drugs, but you need to recycle that soda can instead of pooching it. ;)

looking forward to the video!
