a wireless arcade cab...?

patrickl:

You could try running mame on a Terminal Server machine and then you could use a simpler PC in the cabinet.

I don't see how you could get this completely wireless though. Wouldn't you need to connect the monitor somehow? If you don't mind some cables you could use a switch where you can attach multiple monitor/mouse/keyboards to one PC. You can then switch from the cab to the PC. These cables come in several lengths.

If you need real distance you could use a switch that uses CAT 5 cable. These can be quite a way apart (but they tend to cost more than an extra PC).

nipsmg:

NO NO NO lol
you won't get near the FPS you need over a terminal server connection.

:-D



patrickl:

He, he, LOL. OK, the terminal server thing is perhaps not really serious, but I'm struggling to understand what the idea is behind the question.



jerryjanis:

You could probably use a generator and power it with gasoline.  You wouldn't need any wires coming out of the thing (But you'd still need a dedicated PC just for the Mame cab).

 ;D

i thought the split second delay using wireless controls would make the games unplayable?  ???
