Has anyone ever built an arcade game with an xbox or computer?
 

i want to get one to play all the old nes, snes, and genesis games like they have on xbox. are they hard to build? has anyone done it? where is a good place to get plans/info?

i use to make jamma ones, love those old Konami games.....But havnt done that stuff in a while. The CRT's are expensive and most are shitty, and tought to find decent jamma cases in the area... ebay and google will help you, i believe what you want is keyword MAME

I've done it, can play over 4000 games

Built it from a set of plans and three sheets of MDF. put in a Happ's 27inch monitor and some rockford fosgate car speakers and subwoofer.

nice cabinet, so wish i had a garage, i'd go out there right now :)

oh yeah, Happs is awesome, definately bookmart that site for parts

Yeah, a mate used to be a programmer for arcade games, they you can either design for sega who use their own proprietory technology which costs a fortune or you can just basically design your game for a purpose built PC... which is what they do, its just a windows box purpose built for their game...
