:)This is a great idea. I have been brainstorming an idea to use a VIA EPIA Nehemiah M10000 1Ghz all in one motherboard to make a emulation console. I would use this board, a powersupply, and a 50 gig hd to play all my NES, SNES, Neo Geo, and Genesis Roms on my tv. It has S-video and coaxial digital out. I think it would be more than powerful enough to play thoes games. But I really wanted to play each system with its respective controller, except Neo Geo, I would use my joystick for that. If you guys can get this to work we could make easily swapable controllers for all of our emulators. Anybody think my idea is feasable? It would definately free up some space in my entertainment center being able to box up 4 or 5 systems:):)
HempHacker:
That's a good idea about stuffing one of the pins, Infrasonic. Also, metal slug, one of the main goals that DarkKobold had was that he wanted was a system that was easily hot swappable for emulation, so I definately think that's feasable! Any other ideas?
caykroyd:
I love the idea. What I plan on doing on my cab is have console controller connectors on the outside, so I can plug in and remove the controllers whenever necessary. The problem I see is that I would have to change configurations or run into errors each time I change controllers. I want to avoid that and it sounds like your idea will solve this. Is that correct?
DarkKobold:
Thats what we are hoping... I'd prefer it if whoever used it was completely oblivious to the fact that each interface is extremely different, and just enjoyed using the controllers.
HempHacker:
Thought I'd mention that NES is working so that the buttons are maped the same as SNES (the only real change is button 'A'). Sega Genesis and Sega Master is in the works.
