XboxArcade Build Question
« on: September 17, 2015, 07:30:08 am »
Hi guys first time post so be gentle. I've recently finished a mame build with a Raspberry Pi as the driving force (pics below) and after a few weeks it seems that the most fun has come from Street Fighter 2. As a result of this, and the fact i have an x360 laying around I thought that I might try to position that inside, hack a couple of controllers and get SF4 going!

I'm sure I'll have heaps of questions down the track but my main one at the moment is regarding ventilation and overheating the xbox (seeing they dont deal too well with this and the barrel is all but a sealed unit), what do you guys think?

I'm planning on keeping the pi on there but running a separate kettle plug socket so you just plug it into which one you want to use, not hot switchable or anything like that. Any other problems you might see me having?

Full build is here http://imgur.com/a/wzua5

Hmm dont seem to be able to get images to display, imgur images should be okay no? Must have the syntax wrong, but cant see how.

Can the barrel hold liquid?

If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Ha ha, maybe I'll swap out the oil for the ol amber nectar and put a tap on the front of the barrel... that sounds like a goer.  ;)
