Any way to make a X-Arcade wireless?
j123vt_99:
I finally got a HTPC together and I'd like to run some version of MAME on it I don't want to have a cable running from the PC to my couch for the controller, so figured wireless might be the way to go.. Any suggestions? (I posted this topic a while ago, but wanted to see if anyone had any new ideas
Teebor:
Replacing the X-arcade board with a keyboard hack to a wireless keyboard would be quick simple and easy (just like me :D )
Not sure if it would work still but no reason it shouldn't.
Otherwise you would have to find or build yourself some sort of wireless encoder and decoder for the signals. :( ???
Necro:
uhm...this is going to sound insane BUT...
- wirelessly Networked laptop
- access the PC (also networked) using something like Multiplicity from stardock.
Only thing I can think of thats 'easy' and doesnt require building something extreme.

Has wireless USB gotten up to speed yet?
I haven't been tracking the development but know there was alot of hoopla on the subject in March 2005....that's 12 months ago.

Wireless USB is pretty fast, I think. Easier than hacking though (but more expensive) would be to get one of those keyboard, mouse, and monitor transmitters and receivers. Pull the cord into the CP box and plug it into the transmitter.
