Someone here has done it but I can't find his post showing what he did.

I'm starting to consider doing it since they are planing several more models,
ACTIVISION (Pitfall, Atlantis, River Raid, Spider Fighter, Crackpots, Freeway, Tennis, Boxing, Ice Hockey, and Grand Prix)
Ms. Pacman (galaga, mappy, pole-position, & xevious)
Mortal Kombat (it will be a replica of the control panel)

They are also coming out with a CAPCOM one and MIDWAY one.

See their site at

Two that look interesting just to try out (not hack) are the atari paddles and Arcade pinball.

Does anyone know when the version with the Galaga emulator will be out? The current Namco version has Galaxian and I read there would be a Galaga+Pole Position (and of course some other games) version as well.

We are all so spoiled with our perfect emulator based games... It's easy to assume that these little multi-games are also emulator based, but they are not. In fact I think I read somewhere that these toys use 8-bit processors (which is way too slow to run an emulator). The games are all re-programmed, and are not 100% identical to the originals.

I was wondering why you quoted my message, but I guess I wrongly used the word "emulator". The word "simulator" probably applies better. That's hardly the essence of the message though.

The point of my message was if anyone has spotted the mark 2 version already. I have seen talk about it being available right about now, but I can't find any shops that carry it.
