HOLY SHITS!!!!

awesome work!

Your inside layout is identical to my layout inside the neogeo MVS-2
except i got a pioneer dvd-rom slot loading drive and mounted it flush with the cab just where the memory card slot is...i just extended the memory card slot to the right and left about 2 inches on either side....so the cab still looks original ...you cant tell that there has been any alterations.

you have your xbox and hard drive seperated just like me also. I found this is the best way to avoid heating. But i also removed the xbox fan power from the mobo and ran it straight to a 5V line off of my cab power supply wich like a pc power supply has many extra 5V and 12V lines.

This way i know that the xbox is always getting cooled ...

I know this is for Dreamcast (there are also Xbox versions available, but they play far fewer games) but would it be a good, simple alternative to buying the Ipac + adapters and such?

Why would you use your keyboard to play your xbox like an arcade? Why not use real arcade controls?

I see no mention of using a keyboard for Xbox.

Did you click the link?

I have it wired so that I can use Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube. I also have an Xbox to USB adapter if I wanted to use my PC. I only have one side done at the moment.

I'm not using a keyboard. I'm in the process of hacking 2 reflex sticks for my control panel. It is an old Robocop cab that I am turning into an xbox cab.

Thanks for the info, Slowmaz. I was debating making my own cable but will wait the week for this one. Is that all that I am going to need? I have an old 19 inch monitor that doesn't have the VGA connector. I plan on using the cable from ultimarc to connect the arcade monitor directly to the xbox. That should work, right?

Did you even read my post?

If a person already has a cabinet built for a PC, then it would be stupid to replace the i-pac that is most likely already in there, when an adapter can be bought to work with it.

Read a little further down, and you will also see that I mentioned, that if you are starting fresh and an Xbox is the cab priority, then hacking an Xbox controller would be the way to go.

what interface did you use to get all the Gc\ps2\xbox signal from buttons?

Universal Real Arcade

i think i've posted a pic of this before. i'm looking for suggestions on what i should keep or change. i made the control box so i could remove the real arcade sticks and use on my other systems, but am now going to disassemble them and build a proper box. what materials have you all used for your control boxes? how did you get a glossy surface on the top?

i'm wondering about the bezel i made. should i keep it or go with a straight black one?

anyone know where to get those pelican real-arcade sticks in the uk? I searched a few places on the web, but they only seem to be available in america....

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
