The Pixelcade software includes over 800 LED marquee designs painstakingly remastered in 8-bit form covering the majority of popular emulators and MAME games. If the selected game does not have a corresponding LED marquee design, then a generic emulator marquee (ie, atari2600, mame, nes, etc.) will be displayed or scrolling text. A modded Xbox is my choice over PC/Mac emulation for the following 6 reasons: 1. CoinOPS 3 with 3077 Arcade, C64, Game Boy, Master System, Mega CD,.

</custom>
</shortcut>
----------------------- THROTTLE -----------------------
Throttle disabling is useful for games running at 57fps, 59fps, 58fps(cave), 61fps (namco).
Enter the ingame menu, 'remap gamepad', and map one or several keys as THROTTLE.
(You can map your THROTTLE as back+X+B )
Example: If you think Dodonpachi (58 fps) isn't that smooth,
call the THROTTLE function by pressing the keys remapped. THROTTLE will be disabled
(because enabled by default)
This will force the game to run at 60 fps (60/58 fps): a small speedup but a smoother animation.
Throttle can also be used for 55 fps games (Midnight Resistance..) but the sound can glitch a bit (speedup).
Some older 61 fps Namco games are smooth with THROTTLE disabled and Frameskip 0 (Rolling thunder 1,2..)
If you want to know what the original framerate is for the games, press BACK+BLACK (default setting)
----------------------- CPU OVERCLOCK -----------------------
This can be very useful for some games with slowdowns.
To call the function press BACK+RIGHT THUMB, (the sound volume setting appears)
Go up or down a few times and check the CPU0, CPU1.. overclock settings.
Examples (for 480p)
-BioMechanical toys has small slowdowns, Set the CPU0 to 125% = smooth animation.
-Double Dragon (original beat'em up) runs slowly: set the CPU0 and CPU1 to 150% = nice speed.
Don't overclock the games that can't reach their original framerate (ex: 52/60 fps, 36/57 fps), the emu will be slower.
Overclock only the games running at full framerate ! Biomechanical toys runs at 60/60 fps and
Double Dragon runs at 57/57 fps, so the values for CPU can have a higher setting.
We can also decrease the values:
-To get a better anim in Darius Gaiden (or some other Taito), keep CPU0 at 100%, and set the CPU1 (sound CPU) to 50%.
----------------------- CONFIGS -----------------------
A member wanted a config for CPS2 games (some Capcom games use LPunch+MPunch+HPunch, same for Kicks)
If for example LPunch=LTrigger, MPunch=X, HPunch=Y and you want a shortcut for furies on WHITE BUTTON
then 'remap the game' this way:
P1 Button 1 = J1_LTrigger or J1_White
P1 Button 2 = J1_X or J1_White
P1 Button 3 = J1_Y or J1_White
Pressing White will call the 3 Punch Buttons !
----------------------- FAST FORWARD -----------------------
Sometimes it's boring to wait for a long time when a game is launched: memory tests, rom/ram tests, etc..
I personally use a fast forward function: just change the frameskip ingame.
My default Frameskip is AUTO.
I have remapped Frameskip Dec as L_Trigger R_Trigger X (FS decrease: Auto - 11 - 10 - 9 .. 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 - Auto ..)
and Frameskip Inc as L_Trigger R_trigger Y (FS increase: Auto - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 .. 9 - 10 - 11 - Auto ..)
When a game is just launched I Press LTrigger+RTrigger+X to run the game very fast (Frameskip 11).
To return to Frameskip Auto (normal speed) when the arcade tests are finished I Press LTrigger+RTrigger+Y.
This way I don't wait for the long rom/ram tests.
(Just press the keys one time, or you can get lost as the Frameskip value isn't shown anymore ingame).
----------------------- SERVICE MODES -----------------------
Some players like to have a Freeplay (no coin) or an easy setting for the games, but no DIP switches ?
All the games have a service mode NEOGEO, CPS1, CPS2, SEGA, MIDWAY, CAVE, NAMCO.
Remapping function in 'Remap This Game' will help.
NEOGEO: Just remap the TEST SWITCH with the keys you want, and press thoses keys ingame: entering service mode.
CPS1 & CPS2: Just remap the SERVICE MODE for the same results.
SEGA 32: (outrunner, Golden Axe2, Arabian Fight, Spiderman..)
Remap the SERVICE MODE and the SERVICE 1: SERVICE MODE will enter the settings and valid a choice
SERVICE 1 will allow to switch between the different options.
MIDWAY: Remap the TEST (or use the option: ingame menu/game settings/Test Switch ON/OFF).
NAMCO: Remap the SERVICE MODE (or use the option similar to Midway's).
CAVE: (Esprade, DoDonpachi) Remap the SERVICE MODE and press the keys during 2 or 3 seconds.
Be careful ! Sometimes with some manufacturers you must reset the game (LTrigger+RTrigger+BACK) after you pressed
the service keys to be able to enter the arcade settings ! ! !
PS: it's unfortunate but set the biggest schumps to EASY to get less bullets on screen and limit the slowdowns
----------------------- GUN GAMES -----------------------
Playing a lightgun game like Lethal Enforcers 2 with the pad can be hard because we must reload by shooting outside
the screen. For this kind of games, enter the cheat menu and available the unlimited ammo setting.
Same for Underfire. The crosshair isn't shown ingame but it's playable with unlimited ammo
as we can see where we've just shot.
Disable the Crosshair (BACK+LEFT+THUMB) will help in Beast Busters.
----------------------- MULTI SCREENS GAMES (Darius 1, Darius 2, The Ninjawarriors, Warrior Blade) -----------------------
Disable the Widescreen setting for horizontal Games, and the games will play at fullscreen. 16/9 users will get
the best results.
Purists can also set a special 'screensize adjustment' to get a suitable aspect ratio.
----------------------- HIDDEN IN E:/TDATA/Save name (ACADE4XX)/SYSTEM/MAMEoX.ini -----------------------
Alot of stuff is hidden in this file. Be warned enter with care.
LockoutStartMenu = 0 (if you enable this the Start button will no longer work, this will lock everything to the user)
LockoutAdvancedOptions = 0 (if you enable this you will have access to the start menu and basic settings but cant enable advanced settings)
----------------------- HOW TO SETUP A SHORTCUT TO LAUNCH XBOX GAMES -----------------------
Each game you must reopen Xbe Shortcut Maker to create a shortcut. i found that if i dont open a new one the games wont load
Name the folder the same as the pointer for this to work, so if the XBOX game is 'Black', the pointer will be 'XBOX_Black'
and the Folder it Should be pointing to should be called 'XBOX_Black' at present if it isnt this causes an issue at times of it not rebooting.
So the Shortcut would be pointing to something like 'F:/Games/XBOX_Black/default.xbe'
The shortcut must be located in the root folder of CoinOPS, eg CoinOPS/XBOX_Black.xbe or it wont launch
Note: To Create a Shorcut
1. Locate Game on XBOX Hard Drive ex. Xbox_Black Folder is located in my F: Drive
2. Open Xbe Shortcut Maker 1.0
3. (Target Path) - F:gamesXBOX_Blackdefault.xbe
4. (Title Name) - Enter Folder Name (ex. XBOX_Black)
5. Click Create Shortcut
6. Save File as The Same Name as Pointer Name (ex. XBOX_Black)
This should work consistantly

• DO NOT plug the 2in1 X-Adapter™ into more than one console at a time. Doing so may damage the X-Adapter™.
• Make sure to note the section on Digital/Analog, which will alleviate many issues you may encounter.
• Programming is for the PC/Mac™ only, and has no function on game consoles.
• The Trackball is not supported by the 2in1 X-Adapter™. You may however be able to use the trackball in the USB port of your console directly.
• PlayStation 3: You will need to press Select+Start on the X-Arcade™ when you first plug in the controller or turn on the PS3 system (Lights flashing), and anytime you see 'Press the PS Button' displayed on the screen.
• To access the PS3 Cross Media Bar (XMB) during gameplay, simply press Select+Start on the X-Arcade. You can also press and hold Select+Start to access the PS3 system menu.
  
• To reassign controllers, (using the controller you want to reassign) go to 'Settings' in the XMB, go to 'Accessory Settings', and choose 'Reassign Controllers'. Simply change to the number you prefer. See 'Player Assignment' in the layout above for LED color association.
  
• To switch between Analog and Digital modes during a PS1 or PS2 game, press Select+Start, choose 'Controller Settings' then 'Switch Analog Mode'. You can also reassign controllers from this menu.

Digital vs. Analog Control Overview:
Handheld gamepad controllers for newer game consoles feature both digital and analog controlling devices, a D-pad and two analog thumbsticks. Most games use the D-pad and/or left thumbstick to operate a game. The X-Arcade™ supports only one digital joystick per player, therefore adjustments need to be made to select whether this joystick functions as the D-pad or the left analog thumbstick.See the key legends for directions on switching between analog and digital on each console, but in general: Casio lk 350 keyboard.

PlayStation 3™, Xbox™:
Side Button + Button 1 (Top-left) = Digital (D-PAD)
Side Button + Button 2 (Top-middle) = Analog 1 (primary thumbstick)
Side Button + Button 3 (Top-right) = Analog 2 (secondary thumbstick)

Analog Tilt Sensitivity
While using Analog 1 mode (Select+Button 2) you can change how sensitive the movement is from normal full-tilt (default) to half-tilt sensitivity. Half-tilt sensitivity would be equal to moving the analog thumbstick on your gamepad to about halfway in any direction instead of fully (full-tilt). This is useful for games that you need more precise movement in, for example in a racing game, or to make your character move slower in your game.

Tilt Sensitivity Mode Toggle:
Side Button + Button 7 = Half-Tilt Sensitivity
Side Button + Button 8 = Full-Tilt Sensitivity (default)

DualStick Mode (2-Player X-Arcades Only):
Some games may require the use of 2 control devices simultaneously, for example console versions of arcade classics like Robotron™, SmashTV™, Crazy Climber™, and Karate Champ™. While the X-Arcade™ is not ideal for all types of games, for example first-person shooters, it now has the ability to play all of them thanks to the new DualStick Mode.

DualStick Mode makes the second player joystick of a dual X-Arcade™ act like the right analog thumbstick on a gamepad. But it also makes the buttons on the player 2 side mirror those of the player 1 side, so the buttons on both sides can be used for single-player gameplay. As you may have gathered, this means that DualStick mode is for single-person gameplay, and requires a 2-player X-Arcade™ controller, it will have no affect on an X-Arcade Solo™ for example.

DualStick mode is toggled on and off by pressing the Modifier and button 6 simultaneously, and while in DualStick mode you can still change Joystick 1 between D-PAD and analog thumbstick as usual.

THE ADAPTER IS JUST FLASHING!
You must press Select+Start to initialize the adapter and make it stop blinking. If this is still not working, unplug the 2in1 adapter from the PS3 console, turn off your PS3 completely by turning off the main power switch on the back of the PS3 console, wait a few seconds before turning it back on. Then once fully booted to the XMB menu, plug the 2in1 back into the console and try initializing it again. If it still does not work, try your controller on our test program to make sure all of the buttons are working, especially the Select and Start buttons. You can also use the PC USB cable that came with your X-Arcade™ to see if you can move around the main XMB menu on the PS3, this will tell you if your PS3's USB ports are working properly.
