PC Or Modded Box? For FIGHTER ONLY cab
shodokan123:
I am looking to make a cabinet... the thing is that the roms for fighting games are going to be what it will mainly be around. The idea of playing 2d fighters on a cab again is wonderful.
I will be using a tv.. i am unsure if it has S-vid or not, the main problem i am thinking of is how i will get my dreamcast and ps2 to output through the PC speakers...
The thing is... if i can find a working converter i beleive the x-box will be better, this being because i will have all SNES, NES, MAME, Neo-Geo games, as well as 2 fighters i will have used the ps2 for... street fighter 3: 3rd strike as well as Guilty Gear XX # Reload
If i use a modded x-box then i d k how i will have it output to a seprate set of speakers... because i dont want the ones on the TV to be used of course.

If your wanting to make it strictly for fighting games I'd go with an X-Box. If you'd want more than just fighters like light gun games, TrackBall and Spinner games, etc; use a PC. Hooking up a set of computer speakers to the X-Box isn't a big deal. You can get an adapter that will convert AV audio cables to a .8mm Stereo set up at Radio Shack for around $5.

The Xbox is what I use in my cab. It works out most splendidly.
I imagine I will also one day build a PC cab as well, for use with trackball games, as well as for newer MAME stuff that the Xbox can't handle, but for fighters... The Xbox is definitely the way to go.

how much will a modded box cost? and how would i put the emulators on there?
mamex and kawa-x... etc.
Some people have been pming me on my WTB thread saying that they want like 400$ >_< a bit expensive when u really only need a 20 gig hd for the sets of games i want on there. Prob even less space. prob the stock 10 gig would work fine.
