Just joined, here is my current and first project( xbox powered cab)
Funnel:
Yeah, most people don't realize that the old xbox is a pretty powerful machine. You just need some little tweaking here and there and you're good to go. Good thing I studied electronics for three years in high school, it really paid off! I'll see if I can start a thread soon for my xbox mame cab. Keep us updated dude.

Blast it.. I'm getting a random pause from time to time.. I believe I've pulled something when I pulled the front down... nothing a multi meter and ten minutes won't fix.. but just thought I'd share....

A: Get a return to center Gear shifter to add to the machine( it would only be used on a few games I would think, may have to add switches to change what buttons the shifter uses, you know... X =up A=down.. different in different games, or I could hard wire it to be for only one or 2 games and play everything else with the buttons on the wheel or in automatic mode.
Or....
Ditch the shifter and install a cup holder in its place to hold a frosty beverage while kicking Need for speed...
Thoughts? All input requested.
It would be cool to have a shifter with a turbo button that says" Go Baby Go"(Shamless Gone in 60 Seconds plug.. Love that movie..)

Aren't the buttons mappable in MAME?
Nice hacking by the way (",)

Thanks. Yes, the buttons are mappable in mame, and all the emularors for that matter. But I was speaking mainly of the xbox games themselves.
