If you were lucky enough to upgrade your existing Mac line up this holiday season to a, you may be wondering what to do with some of your older less powerful hardware. Rather than give my Mac mini away or recycle it, I decided to revamp and update my home built arcade cabinet running the (M.A.M.E. For short) and use the Mac mini as the engine. What is M.A.M.E. For simplicity's sake, I'll define M.A.M.E. As an archive of the vintage software that ran arcade systems from yesteryear.

The developers try their best to recreate the software systems that ran/run on arcade based computers and do so strictly via CPU emulation for that purpose. The developers avoid using GPU acceleration for the emulation because actually running of the software is simply an aside to the purpose of their mission. As a result, if you want to run some older arcade games, the best recreation aside from having an authentic arcade CPU board, would be the M.A.M.E. How to make a bootable usb drive for mac. Completely Apple-based M.A.M.E I previously had the traditional M.A.M.E. Setup running a Windows-based PC.

Outlook for mac auto expand conversations. This is a view that I like, but I only want to see the conversations when I want to see the conversations. So, If I have a single email above a conversation email and I delete the single email so that the 'cursor' rests on the conversation email. It automatically opens. I'd really prefer that it didn't.

It worked very well but it was unwieldy, loud, overly wired, and frankly just old. I had built up so much software cruft over the years that the system started to become quirky rather than useful in it's function. Since I was already using an old Apple Cinema Display as the monitor, I figured I'd make the cabinet a complete Apple affair with with my LED Cinema Display, my 2014 Mac mini, and my full sized Apple keyboard (a third-party trackball doubles as a mouse so that was not needed). The extra bits When building a M.A.M.E arcade cabinet you can be as authentic to a true arcade cabinet as you desire. You can just run the emulator on your current Mac and use a keyboard and trackpad as your input devices and be done with it. Or, you can go for a more traditional experience and build a real arcade cabinet to house the computer and attach custom arcade quality joysticks and buttons for your inputs.

I went the more traditional route but I didn't build my own arcade cabinet. I found a old bowling game that was non-functional from a local ad and picked that up for $100. I also didn't add custom joysticks or buttons. Instead I opted for a pre-built joystick from for $150.

The nice thing about the Tankstick is that it uses real arcade quality joysticks and buttons built into a solid casing that when plugged into your computer, is detected as a regular keyboard. The 'up' button is effectively a '1' on your keyboard for example. This means that when you are mapping user inputs on a game for your emulator, you won't run into any compatibility issues as all the emulator will see is a normal keyboard being used to map your buttons to. On top of that, when I bought my Tankstick, it came with a CD-ROM of classic arcade games that you can legally play on your M.A.M.E. OpenEmu, a M.A.M.E. Frontend Anyone who has used M.A.M.E. Knows that all of the options that are available to you in the default user interface can be a bit daunting.

I decided to use as my M.A.M.E. Although OpenEmu is not strictly a M.A.M.E. Emulator front-end, it does provide a experimental build that allows for you to run M.A.M.E. Binaries through it's GUI. To get the M.A.M.E. Enabled OpenEmu build simply do the following: • Head to. • Click the dropdown button next to the Download Now button.

• Select OpenEmu Experimental. Once downloaded, you can simply double click the downloaded file to run the application.
