DICE Emulator - dice(ogytork_05-24-2009)

Here's a simple DICE emulator system theme.

Can anyone help me out with the ini file?

I've got it all front end stuff mapped out fine, but I could use some help with the games loading code.

It appears to emulate the original Pong, Rebound, and Gotcha.

It's a little different than all the others because it emulates the actual electronic circuits used for those games. They were done completely in hardware. There is no software to emulate which is why Mame will never emulate Pong. But no video game museum would be complete without Pong. You have to have Pong. It's the one that started it all. I forget if Space War came first, but it doesn't matter because Pong was the first commercially successful video game in the U.S. I remember playing Pong at the KOA campgrounds when I went on summer trips with my grandparents back in the 70's. To a kid that little electronic pinging and the glowing motion trail left on the screen phosphors by the moving ball was about as sci-fi in real life as it got.

I've uploaded the theme.
For help with setting up the emulator looks for Lashek's comments at the bottom of this thread.

I added some bar-chatter and PONG game ambiance.

Here's the description I wrote:
Dice is an emulator that plays all of 3 games ;-)
PONG, GOTCHA, REBOUND
This theme is inspired by the story of the first Video game, PONG, being tried out at Andy Capp's Tavern in Sunnyvale, CA.
You can read about it here:

The theme includes bar & pong ambiance sounds.

[ogytork]
