Seems like you might work for Xarcade because you have over 400 posts here in this forum and you would think you would be up the xarcade by now!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dunno :lol :lol

Actually I dont work at Xarcade. Not sure why 400 post would make it appear that I work for Xarcade? ??? Dont get it
Also, totally true about the ply wood, sticks etc for $100, been there done that. I just dont have the time to build another machine at the moment so this is a quick clean and easy way to play a game of street fighter with my kids. Love the hobby, but sometimes life gets in the way.

No kidding. I don't even have kids (or a wife) but I do have a job and other hobbies. I have considered starting a second project several times but I never get beyond the "think about it on the drive to work" phase because the moment I recall the experience of building my first cabinet and how freaking long it took, I shudder.
So, I was strongly considering picking up one of these X-Arcade units so I can rig up something in my garage for the summer. I was thinking of using a projector as well, for something different. My brother has a tank stick so I know what to expect. No, not the best controls but probably good enough for a secondary setup that can be moved around.
