Help!! Where to start
#380417 - 12/29/18 10:26 PM


A shot in the dark but here we go.

My father in law passed away this past June and we received his hand made table arcade.during the process of moving it from his house to ours it no longer plays the arcade games or I simply don't know where to look to activate them. They worked before he passed and like I said I don't know anything about this stuff but I'd like to learn. If possible I would like to have it running in time for new year's for my wife.

Please let me know what, or how, to start. Thanks for any help you can.

My condolences.

Nobody can help you unless you at least describe the thing and what it's doing right now in more detail. In other words, helping you without more information is also a shot in the dark.

First you need to open it up and find out what's in it.

Is it one of those all-in-one arcade boards or does it have a Windows PC inside that's running an emulator?

What happens when you power it up?

Fair enough. When I turn the PC on it open like a normal computer. The desktop has several folders ranging from emulators to media to mame. The mame has several files within it that are .exe. One in particular is mame.exe.

I remember when he would start it up to play a logo with an arcade type knight would appear with "Premium" underneath it. From there we would scroll the various systems and games to select which game to play.

Anyway, after the initial start up filezilla server starts and asks for host name and password, which are alreardy populated. When I select connect an error message appears. "you appear to be behind a NAT router. Please configure the passive mode settings and forward a range of ports in your router. Warning: FTP over TLS is not enabled, users cannot securly login."
From there a gaming evolved log in is requested. Nothing happens when I click log in.

I attached a few pictures of the intial log in and folders on the desktop.

Also inside the box, is an Xbox 360. It connect to the monitor separatly and appears to be independent of the PC itself.
