the ebgames near me has something major kickass!!

kenmasters1983 · October 30th, 2003

they have a X-ARCADE machine with a ps2 in it playing soul calibur 2.

ebgames has a special marquee for the x-arcade cabinet..also its using a 2 player x-arcade controller!!!

i played it for about an hour while i was playing i was think it would be cool as hell to buy one of the cabinets then turn it into a MAME MACHINE!!!

anyway does anyone have something like that?? if so where did you buy it from??

Heres what I dug up: http://www.x-arcade.com/ I think its just a controller and PC Adapter and you make an arcade box.

yeah, i saw this at Fry's last time i went. it's pretty "meh" as far as im concerned. you have to provide your own TV too!

basically a TV sits, tilted in the top part, and then you have the big joypad....and below you have the systems, etc......its pretty stupid if you ask me

Indeed...we saw this at Fry's as well...and got a little hands on...kinda cool...we have been meaning to do something like this for our emus....
anyhoo...we saw the price on the side of the unit....$999...thats just the cabinet and X-stick....too much friggin money...
we did take note of the build...we could probably do our own
