Vincent Serpico : Retro Projects Channel
I'm a Gen Xer who loves the 80's and anything Retro. I grew up in the Golden Age of Arcades, Movies, and TV. The 80's in my opinion was the best decade ever!!! I plan on showing tutorials and DIY videos on Retro Gaming, Movie-Gaming-& TV Prop Making, Halloween & Horror projects and just anything that is cool. I'm always open to project suggestions. Hope you enjoy my channel.

How do you make the game run faster? I could barely even play the game because how slow it is.
@scaryhymen What type of computer/processor are you using? What operating system are you using Windows 10 or 11? Usually when someone tells me it's running slow it's because of one of these issues.
How much Cotten did u have to buy
Sorry just seen in the comments. I’m using to driver 15x15
You did I great Job, I worked at Disneyland for years and each year I do up my home and this year I will be doing Madame Leota. The only difference is I'm making a cast mold of my wife's face because she will be playing the role. It will line up with her features. I have the sound track with out any sound effects and I also have the background sound and effects so it sould work out well. I will post it for 2024 Halloween at majorvideoinc there you can see what I did in past years.... keep it up, You are very creative.
@waynesmith3427 Thank you sir, I would love to see the outcome of the mold you make for your wife and the end result of course. I will definitely keep an eye out for your post. Thank you for the compliment, it means a lot. Especially, coming from someone who worked for Disney.
Can this work on an android phone?
@chattclouds8281 I have not tried it, but have not heard of anyone actually playing on their phone.
Wow great work 🤗💜 I would think they would sell them by now . I would of thought hollagrams would be in out houses by now im 2024
@VampDaVegan Thank you and yes I would have thought so too by now!
@Vincent_Serpico strange isn't it 🤔
This is so nice thanks alot for thi video im surely getting the j hooks and chicken net
WOW, that's so cool! I've been fascinated with Madam Leota since I was a kid (57 now). I've always built things like lit-up coffins and cool spider webs, witch's smoking cauldron over burning coals, but my Golden Grail has always been this. I'm going to attempt it this year but the editing of video is so intimidating! Never been anywhere near that kind of stuff. Got all summer to work on it though. I just love this, it's awesome!
Thank you, let me know if you have any questions as you make your Madame Leota.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in some time
Thank you, I've always been a fan of the movie and wanted to recreate the iconic prop!
I tried to load this into launchbox but it didn't seem to work. It worked outside of launchbox, and I made a seperate emulator add for the older version of MAME that was able to launch this version of Carnevil, but it doesnt work in LB. any ideas? Thanks for your contributions in trying to fix all this haha. its appreciated
I've actually never tried it in Launchbox, so unfortunately I don't have any suggestions, sorry.
Amazing!
Does the fiber fill rain down fiber? How much did you need for your ceiling for reference?
The stuffing fiber does not fall down, but each panel I put up took between 5-7 bags, really it is going to depend on the size you are trying to cover.
Great tutorial, thank you for this. Can you also show how to set up game track like games if possible to any other console games as in like super NES or any ass or Dreamcast. Thank you
Which games did you have in mind?
@@Vincent_Serpico like duck hunt on NES though Retroarch.
You had to use that older version of MAME (from 2016) bc you had old roms/chds. If you have a current set of roms/chds, you can use the newest version of MAME.
True, that's why I updated them and and made pre configured Mame in my updated video. I left this one up for anyone with older systems.
WORKING OMFG. MOUSE WORKING WITH THE POST YOU PINNED!!!
Glad its working for you now, not sure what you mean by "working with the post i pinned" was it the preconfigured file?
@@Vincent_Serpico oh Its not ponned... it's just the top comment. The one where it's explained how to change figure mouse by holding F2 at the first screen.
I dont understand how everyones having such success and i cant get it to work for shit...
What is happening when you try to load it?
@Vincent_Serpico I got it to work one singular time. When I first moved ll the files in it launched. But then I exited out to configure the light gun to mouse because I was set on the keyboard. When I re went to launch the gane again, it says now EVERYTIME that I'm missing rom or chd image files for this machine. Even though I HAD IT RUNNING but now it will not. I've tried re-placing the folders l, re downloading them. Nothing works. I was so stoked when it loaded that first try right off the bat. But now it's just like a slap in the face. Haha
@@Vincent_Serpico I really would like to get it running on android even more as one comment lor said he did in a reply to your post stating you put everything all in one place.
@@-Airwalk1616- Ok, well let's do some troubleshooting first. Tell me the system you are currently using to try and run this(ie:windows 10,11,?) Also, just so I'm clear you are saying you re-downloaded my files and tried it again, but still got the same error?
@Vincent_Serpico yes, sme error. Windows11. But I was able to get it to run the first time by using a file downloaded from internet archive that had the carnevil_9.u32, sound102_.u95, and 486_carnevil.u96 files in it. I THINK I unzipped it and put it in a file named carnevil and left the chd files out in the roms folder on its own. Yes... files. I downloaded from a website. 2 chd files which were listed as 3, but only 2 worked. So I threw them both in the roms folder for the hell of it.
i got this to work ONE SINGLE TIME after loading the files where they need to be but after escaping out to change the light gun input to mouse rather than keyboard it has not and WILL NOT load again. I just keep getting the message that im missing rom or chd files. WTF DUDE.
What operating system are you using?
Awesome build, btw!
Hey again, so ive tried to leave a comment on your other tracker video where we were talking, but for some reason they arent staying up. How can we connect to make an arrangement on you making one for me at your leisure?
Strange,Yeah, kinda wondering when I didn't hear from you. Try using my email, which will work better for me anyway. [email protected]
This is awesome! I have the sub war "real" tracker.. what was the total cost to make one like yours?
I have not really totaled the cost, but to guesstimate, I'd say around $75 or so. When you say the real tracker, do you mean the actual SubWar Game? I've actually made a better enclosure that is even closer to the original, since I posted this video, just haven't had the time to finish all the electronics.
Yes..the sub wars game..and feel the same, don't want to destroy it. So...would you be up to make me one of these for me?
@@kalament1969 Well, that depends on your time table. Do you need it right away or by a certain date? I do these projects when time permits. I'm not retired or anything so I work on them when I can.
@Vincent_Serpico I've posted on here my email a couple times but I think youtube keeps deleting it! I don't have a time frame.. how can I reach you off of here.. I'm at kalament1969 at the G○○gle male.. have to do it in code ..lol
@@Vincent_Serpico how can I contact you off of here to work out build and payment?

When I select gun calibration option its says: u8 switch 8 is on - please turn it off. Not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have not run into that before but it sounds like one of the dip switch settings somehow got turned on. Try starting the game and hit Tab, go to general settings, I believe and scroll down to the dip switches and see if one, specifically 8 has been turned on. If so turn it off and exit. The try to do the calibration again. Let me know if that fixes it, if not I'll try to problem shoot some more for you.
my inner child is totally screaming 😍
🐐🐐🐐
I'll use chicken wire on my next one but I'm thinking of using rope "LED" lights; maybe do a box frame.
That sounds good, I'd be interested in seeing how it turns out.
A few things that may help you and others, especially after I saw the 4/22 update to your comments. the b.l.u.f. is that you need to make sure you get a rom and chd from a rom set version that matches the version of MAME you're running. They should only be downloaded from a site that lists the rom set version. The MAME project is (for good or ill) concerned with getting 100% emulation of every arcade. Which is great, but it means they are constantly updating both the rom dumps (when they get a better or more complete dump of a machine) and MAME itself (to better refine their emulation or accommodate the new rom dumps) When you download from a random ROM site, they frequently will have a set of roms from one particular set (usually a Reference Set like .78, or in your case v1.79) and they won't indicate on their site what version it's from. These roms will work just fine until the MAME project updates their software and the rom becomes useless on all versions moving forward. The people hosting the roms either are unaware they need to publish version information (or that some roms go out of date) or they don't want to take the extra time. By their powers combined, it makes it more than a little rough on people who only care about one system or are unconcerned with minor glitches or missing bits. Fortunately there are places to find 'MAME Sets & Datfiles' that are verified and have version information. Unfortunately it's not kosher to put links to them, but search engines are a thing! Anyhoo, if you want to update to a new version or update your computer and are forced to update to a new version, make sure you get a copy of your rom and chd with a known romset version and download a version of MAME to match. I appreciate the video, more so the follow-up calibration video! Best of luck!
i have a question. downloaded the vr version of it and it doesnt display right. only shows like little teeth raining down from the sky video and a choppy figure of a person laying down
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the new VR version, so I wont be able to help you with that. Actually, I didn't know that a VR version had been released. Sorry I co uh old not help. My version should work for you though if your looking to play.
ok. link? @@Vincent_Serpico
Well I was hoping this would work. Unfortunately, I just get the screen flash and then back out. Won't load the game. My batocera>share>roms>mame folder has a carnevil folder with the carnevil.chd file in it. Then I have in the same batocera>share>roms>mame folder a carnevil.zip that has the boot.u32 and the sound102.u95. This has made no difference.
The game still worked on your PC correct? This was just an attempt to use it with Batocera?
Thank you for video now I can play my childhood favorite
Glad I could help,enjoy!
I doubt it'll work but I'm gonna try to play this on the MAME emulator on the ps2 lol
Let me know...lol
@@Vincent_Serpico For sure!! I'm gonna start tomorrow though because it's late here lol
Thank you so much for making this video. I've been wanting to emulate Carnevil for a while. I love arcades and Carnevil has been stuck in the back of my mind for years after stumbling upon it in a dead mall arcade. Absolute fever dream of a game but I'm so happy to have it on my burner PC. I'll be playing it late tonight and probably every Halloween from now on.
Your more than welcome, it's one of my favorites as well, enjoy!!!
Where can I get one and how much is it?
I made it, even had John Kassir take a pic with it at Horror Hound.
That's wicked! I take I you also made the case for it?
@@6Bloody6Ruckus6 The basic box I bought from a hobby shop, I then modified it for the blood key.
For anybody with an F2 key that does nothing, look for an fn key on your board and hold that first. Took me awhile to get to this menu lol.
Really great work!! If there’s any chance got see or get a picture of the full pattern on the ceiling?
What do you mean by the full pattern? The LED's or something else?
@@Vincent_Serpicoyes from the leds!
Hey! I just wanted to say thanks for compiling everything together for us. Made the set up a breeze. I’ve been wanting to play this game for a few years now but was never sure how to set it up. I just got through the first level and am loving it! Still have to calibrate my cursor, but for now the game works. Thanks a whole ton! And for anybody else, the game did freeze when I first started it, but it works just fine after launching it again. I did have to restart my PC because I couldn’t get to task manager. But everything works fine now. I’m on Windows 11 too if that helps.
Glad I could help, yeah I have found despite my best efforts to make everything run smoothly for others, there is a bit of tweaking on the users part to make the final adjustments. Enjoy!
Hey, I downloaded the pre-organized file for the mouse version and when I opened up mame within the file and tried to boot up the game it told me that “one or more of the required rom or chd images is missing” and to “choose a different machine” even tho it said the sound and video were good and it’s labeled as working, any idea what’s up with mine? On windows 10 btw
Sorry for the delay, what type of computer are you using? ie: brand, processor, and speed? I find that older systems running windows run better with the older version of mame and my other CarnEvil rom that I reference from my original video back in 2020. I'll test my downloads to see if something got messed up when I uploaded them to the server.
@@Vincent_Serpico most of my stuff is AMD Radeon like my cpu and gpu so relatively new I believe
@@momsspaghetti0079 mmmmm...well, I tested it on my end and it was working even on my older system which sometimes I get some audio lag. Try deleting it and doing a fresh download. See if that does not solve the issue. Your system, since its newer, should work well with this version of mame. Let me known if that solves the issue, if not I''ll continue to try and trouble shoot for you.
I do have 7zip on my computer for modding games and when I did try to boot it up 7zip told me to extract the files so could that be interfering with it at all?
@@momsspaghetti0079 Yes, you need to extract the files from the zip file 1st, then open up the folder and run it from there.
Thank you for this! I want to put my ceiling together without using a board and spray adhesive; I appreciate an easy and chemical free way of enhancing my room. Off to get some chicken wire!
The game works fine, though the audio is very laggy. Any tips?
Is your system older, meaning the computer your running it on? Also, are you using Windows 11 or 10?
@@Vincent_Serpico I’m using an HP ENVY, Windows 10.
@@hauntsandamusements try using my other tutorial, it uses an older version of mame and works well on older systems.kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3thutGMgN3Tk6Q.htmlsi=2g0hJSfwHR_n6YNc, let me know if that does not solve the problem.
@@Vincent_Serpico The audio is still laggy and I can’t get the mouse to work now when I go to calibrate it?
@@hauntsandamusements did you use the ROM that I provide for the older system? It is different from the one that would have been downloaded with Mame0230_64bit? You will have to follow the calibration video when you use the older system with the mouse. Om still not sure what would be causing your sound issue. Do you know what your processor speed is?
I did mine by putting all of the LED+cotton on a 4x8 of the thinest board I could find at home depot for $13 a sheet. 4 small drywall screws and its installed and easily removed if I ever need it to be.
Great idea! How are they holding up 10 months later?
Really well, no sagging or anything, only had to repair one panel, but that was because my son's cat some how managed to jump from his left bed and try to get on the panel. Easy fix though, otherwise no other issues.
Would you ever consider making one if for example I would like to pay for it?? This is so awesome and I am not crafty, my Dad wouldve been able to but he passed away so im trying so hard to find someone who can make a table like this
I'm sorry that this response is so late, life gets busy as I'm sure you are aware. Also, I am sorry for your loss of your Dad. To answer your question, yes, I could make another. The original was for my son who you see in the video. He asked if we could make one for his room. He and I have wanted to make another and may be able to help you out. However, it takes a bit to make one an with the Holidays around the corner we would not be able to start until after. The other question is shipping, the table itself is not heavy, but not light in the same respect. What part of he country do you live in. I don't need an address just a state so I could give you an idea if we are close or not. So lets start there. Thanks!
@@Vincent_Serpico oh yes no need to apologize at all! I totally understand and with the holidays it would be totally okay!! 🥹 I so appreciate your response and cant believe you are actually willing to make me one! I live in California . Thank you so much for that , my Dad really loved to build so I know he wouldve loved that project alot . How much would you charge for the table itself and shipping we can do if you’re close enough! It doesnt have to be a big table since its going in my “gamer room” and I think I would like the wood painted black if possible! You are so awesome! 🥹😭
@@Vincent_Serpicoactually the color of the table exactly how yall did it looks awesome as it is
@@julieejanell493 No problem, unfortunately you and I live on opposite sides of the country so picking it up would definitely be out of the question. How about this, the price is going to depend on different features you may or may not want. Let's do this, email me at [email protected], let's start with the dimensions of the table that you want. Then I can tell you a list of features and an estimated price based on that.
@@Vincent_Serpico just sent you an email and said email failure!
Will this work with Pi 400 in Batocera?
I have not tried it on that platform. I have tried on Retropie with no luck. However, that was with an older Raspberry Pi, not sure if the Pi 4 would work and with that system. Please let me know if you have any success.
@@Vincent_Serpico sadly this does not work on the Pi 400, most likely because the emulator version is not there
HELLO I HAVE TROUBLE PLAYING THE GAME IN MY LATOP CAN NOT MAKE THE KEYS FROM MY TRACKPAD TO WORK AS MOUSE AND POINTER CAN YOU HELP??????????
Do you mean your trackpad is not being recognized as a mouse?
HUGE help. Just can't say thanks enough.As you can see, when you go into the service mode, it says to press the "test" button.Yet, when you press tab and go into the button settings, there IS no "test button" lol.When I saw you press the F2 button, I slapped myself in the head as I had seemingly hit every other button on the keyboard.Lol on me, and thanks again.
Your welcome, glad I could help!
my reticle isn't showing up. Your tutorial was extremely helpful otherwise as some guy who just wanted mame to play this game on a whim lol.
Sorry that it did not work for you, kinda surprised that you are saying that the reticle is not showing up, that is a new one that I had not come across before. However, just to give you a heads up, I'm going to be posting a new video that will explain how to download a pre configured Mame with CarnEvil already on it and ready to go. Hoping to have it up in about a week so keep a look out.
@@Vincent_Serpico thanks
How many bags of filling did you use?
I'd have to check, but each panel I think took between 5-7 bags, really it is going to depend on the size you are trying to cover.
Excellent you really have spent some time on getting this to run.
6:47 Good call the people at U-HID or UltiMarc botched their manual. The x-axis and y-axis used same pin numbers. I guess the tea did not hit the spot.
“Gypsy” is a pejorative in their culture, The correct term is “Romani>”
