I have a suspicion you are not a native English speaker.

If your first language is French, you should use the Atomic front end.

If your first language is German, you should use the MaLa front end.

Otherwise, you might check out GameEx, which has some multi-language support.

Also, use the "search" function, and read the wiki.

--- Quote from: markrvp on April 25, 2006, 05:49:37 pm ---I would suggest building a MAME/PC cabinet that can run console emulators as well.  THEN, I would build a separate cabinet for Xbox, PS2, Dreamcast, and Gamecube.  Even then, there is a lot of switching.  You mentioned in your first post that there was a switch to switch between the consoles.  Do you have a link to it?  I haven't seen anything that will switch A/V and Controls between 4 consoles.  I would definitely be interested in one.

Places like GameStop and Best Buy stock $20-$30 (Pelican, usually), 5-input/output boxes that will do Composite and S-Vid.  It's the model that'll do Component that is probably closer to $30.  Since he's using a TV, S-Vid out of the PC plus a handfull of systems would be great in this case.

As far as switching controls between consoles, there's always the use of DB25 cables, one end hooked up to hacked controllers, the other ends connected to a DB25 switch box.

From there, you just hack another DB25 to your buttons and stick(s).

Since the older systems can be easily emulated on the PC, it shouldn't be too hard to fit the newer systems in there with the PC.

Hey welcome,

Since no one will step up to say it. Um... The search function of this fine establishment will give you a LOT of information. Actually you could start to read about every question you just mentioned and we would not see you again for several months up to a year.

Read a little bit then come back with your questions.

But be warned... We all thought we could just quit at any time. Just experimenting we all said. It is an addiction worse than crack.

oh, ps, MarkRVP is right, you probably don't wanna do an all in 1.

BFG?
Butt Fired Gas?
