JTAG XBOX 360 VEWLIX
t0mbi:
hey all. long time lurker, first time poster.
After much consideration i have decided to put together a vewlix cabinet connected to a xbox 360 that has been JTAG'd
I am wanting all your opinions on this, or even your experience as i haven't done this before.
ArcadeWorx are going to be making the cabinet for me as i don't have to the tools to make a sandwich, let alone a mdf cabinet.
Here is why I'm using a 360:-
*I already have a spare one.
*I can get it JTAG'd by a mate
*I have a 60GB HDD laying around i can use it for.
*It has a HDMI port.
*it's a Falcon board. Now i no it's not RROD proof...but i will de-case it and add 2 120mm fans in the cabinet.
*i already have all the games i want (SSFIV, tekken 6, Soul Calibur IV, BlazBlue, KOFXII) and all the XBLA games i want as well (Soul Calibur, MvC2,SSF2HD, Puzzle Fighter, a few KOF, Samurai Showdown, metal Slug) among many others i can't name off the top of my head
*emulators available for the 360 are growing (SNES, Genesis, CPS3, MAME) There is also a CPS1/2,NG emulator getting the final touches on it right now.
*Quick to load up and shut down.
*A new customizable dashboard is being finalized (Freestyle Dash 2.0). I can customize the menus and set the console to launch directly into this.
My problems:-
*Getting the 360 wired controllers x2 PCB (have just sent HarumaN a PM regarding this)
*Sourcing the buttons i want from Australia, trying to buy local. But he doesn't have much stock (White 30mm Seimitsu buttons)
has anyone got some feedback about Lizardlick.com? They were only ten bucks more.
*Even though i never will use the DVD drive( Copy games over via FTP) anyone know a way to extend the DVD tray button?
So yeah let me know what you guys think :P

I think this is a great idea.. i've been waiting to hear about someone doing this kind of project with a 360, can't wait to see how your project turns out.

If you had the sense to contact HarumaN, then this isn't a problem. ;) Though he just had a baby, so you might have a delay on getting those PCB's.

LL is great. But if you're in aussie-land, you'd probably have better access and shipping from the Akihabara Shop, no?
t0mbi:
Well, ill be looking at getting them in around a month so i hope he isn't as busy by then haha.
I might go through LL. They offer insurance and seem like everybody likes them.

Just looked up all the buttons and joysticks on Akihabarashop and it come to 11,930yen delivered not bad..not bad at all. Has anyone used them?
