Donkey Kong MAME Cabinet with Vertical Hyperspin Full Tour

Video of my recently completed MAME arcade cabinet. It was a non-working Popeye cabinet that was converted to a red Donkey Kong running MAME. I made a custom vertical Hyperspin theme and added over 100 vertical arcade games.

quick question how does your pc know when you instert your coin as in how did you convert your coin slot to pc

? ive seen this only 2 times you and someother person andi was wondering how did you do this did you but a usb coin slot?

@MrGameMasterAlex The control panel goes into an I-Pac which translates the pushbuttons into keystrokes for MAME. Like the pushbuttons, the coin mechs have switches on them. If you wire up those switches to the I-Pac, inserting a coin gets translated into a keystroke in MAME. Any working coin door in a MAME cabinet should be able to be wired up to work pretty easily. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

That looks great. How did you get hyperspin to run in vert and how did you make the themes. Im working on a vert mame but I dont want to wait untill Hyperspin 2.0. Thanks

It was a lot of work. Basically, I rotated all of the wheel art 90 degrees, then used HyperTheme to rotate the video clips and built out the main theme in photoshop, then rotated those graphics and put everything together in HyperTheme. I did everything on my desktop so I could experiment and then moved it over to the cab computer when everything was complete. Hope that helps.

Just go into your bios and set your PC to turn on when power is restored. That way, you just can just flip the power bar switch and your computer will power on.
