:Excellent idea! Isn't it that since these are on the public section of the Sketchup warehouse, those are deemed public domain? [[User:Felsir|Felsir]] ([[User talk:Felsir|talk]]) 07:38, 3 January 2014 (EST)

::Public domain or not, we should still ask permission and give Gozer a link + credit for his work creating the models. Someone else may need to do this since I'm no good at sketchup and still recovering from a HDD crash. [[User:PL1|PL1]] ([[User talk:PL1|talk]]) 12:49, 3 January 2014 (EST)

Also, is the current size OK or should we revert to the older one that's 2x larger or the original that is 4x larger?  Do you have any Sanwa/Seimitsu buttons that would look better in place of this pic? [[User:PL1|PL1]] ([[User talk:PL1|talk]]) 12:52, 6 January 2014 (EST)

::I don't have Sanwa/Seimitsu buttons (I do have a stack op HAPP style buttons though) I think the image is a bit small, but better than no image at all [[User:Felsir|Felsir]] ([[User talk:Felsir|talk]]) 15:30, 7 January 2014 (EST)

:::So, revert to the 2x larger version or is there a specific size that would be better?  Current image is 103 x 120px, the image page can revert to a 206 x 239px version, and the original is 412 x 478px.  I'm OK with whatever size you think will work best to show the locking tabs.

The list of emulators is outdated/incomplete (new stuff has arrived since the old wiki!). Once the FAQ is done, I think the emulator section will be my top priority (as this is where I struggled the most when setting up my own cabinet).Felsir (talk) 07:44, 8 January 2014 (EST)

I think this is too detailed for the FAQ, but it should be moved to a section dedicated to MAME. I've copied it here so it won't be lost :-)Felsir (talk) 07:43, 8 January 2014 (EST) Use clrmamepro http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/ or your emulator's "Audit" function (if available) to check the version and filenames of ROMs compared to your emulator program version.
