Another $10 grabbed an Xbox adapter off E-bay, though honestly once you've got a PS2 adapter you've got the world since there's a billion adapters to use dual shock controllers on anything.
Trying to figure a way to get it mounted to my exercise bike. I've managed to sweathog 5lbs off with a little cheapie Mad Catz wireless controller but might as well go full retard.

I believe propcycle is now playable in MAME. ;)
(it does take a powerful computer to run)

You should build a replica Street Fighter 1 panel with the giant rubber cupcakes. Get a good arm workout while you're at it. :)

The X arcade units would be fine if they would spend another $5 on making them and at least put proper Happ Super joysticks in them. Instead they save a couple bucks, use a knock off that favors the diagonals and end up with a poor product.

I'll tell you what, its been pretty good so far and well worth the $99 I spent on it. The sticks do feel very similar to happs supers, so much that I don't know if it would even be worth switching them out.
I should be getting my Dreamcast/Playstation adapter today and I'm really looking forward to testing it out.

I've had the standard x-arcade, Sanwa JLFs, & happ comps in mine.
Currently have the comps in there, but I think I prefer the standard x-arcade over the comps.
I used the x-arcade sticks in other projects, but I dislike the comps enough that I'm considering buying new x-arcade sticks.
(More than likely I'll give a random joystick from groovygamegear a whirl though)
Not sure about the supers. Probably not worth changing.
