MAME cab based on XBOX
(1/3) > >>
rchadd:
Has anybody tried building a Mame cab using an XBOX?

I have heard that there is a version of Mame for the XBOX but can't find it for download.

I believe that Microsoft's lawyers have tried to kill it.

Anyone using it?  How does it compare to using regular PC hardware. Any problems/issue to be aware of?

It's called MAMEonX.

I would think that this would be easy to do.  Just hack the controllers for hooking up your control panel and everything else would be plug 'n' play.  Haven't seen it, though.

Here is a how to hook an X-box to arcade controls.

Biggest problem is mame doesn't have enough ram to load about 70% of the games in mame.  Other xbox emus do a better job, but to give you and idea, newer neogeo titles and cps2 titles won't even load!  So anything newer than 1993-94 many or many not run.  

Other issues include that fact that you can't rotate games ect.... basically 50% of mame's options are no longer configurable.  Not that this is a bad thing.... you just need to be aware.  

Of course now the xbox is a mere 140 bucks, so There isn't any harm in playing around.
