well ive been meaning to post this project up as ive been doing it, but im going to do it the other way - post my project nearly finished, and ill post some build pictures soon
After recommendations by various people and good interest i decided to develop my idea a bit further and build my xbox arcade machine into a larger cabinet, with tasty custom graphics.
The machine is a refurbished arcade cabinet with a 25" monitor and a custom made control panel designed specifically for use of the xbox. This control panel took ages and ages to design and build, but im very happy with the results. It features the best quality Happ Controls Ultimate joysticks and Happ Competition Buttons
The machine is powered by a modified xbox with an 160gb hard drive installed. The xbox runs a modified version of XBMC (xbox media centre) which has been designed by myself for ease of use for access of 15000+ games on various emulators.
currently the system and games are
* Sega Master System (every game ever released) Altered beast!
* Sega MegaDrive (every game ever released) Speedball 2!
* Nintendo NES (every game ever released) Mario Mario Mario
* Super Nintendo (every game ever released) Mario kart

* Commodore 64 (15000+ Game disks) Chuckie Egg!
* Commodore Amiga (20000+ Game disks) Chaos Engine!
* Atari ST (3900 Game disks) anyone remember barbarian?
* 2 Mame emulators - With 3000+ arcade games from 1970's to 1999
* Neo-Geo Emulator (100's of games)
* CPS 3 Emulator (just released - SF3 generations - Warzord)
* Lazerdisk Emulator (spaceace, dragons lair)
also featured are a select amount of xbox games:
* Soul Calibur 2
* Mortal Kombat(s)
* Topspin
* Pacman World 1+2
and loads more.
Just for example i think other than the virtua fighter series it has pretty much every fighting game series every released.some pics
