It's worth a dollar.

Yeah, and a dollar is worth nothing pretty much all over the world.  Try paying for anything with a dollar outside of the US and watch yourself get laughed at.

Really? This is news to me (I thought you could always convert it to that country's currency). I guess it makes sense, since we are in so much debt. Any how, you can always make a sf4 replica cab. Of course you need a PS3 and the works (like someone stated before). Hopefully there will be enough hype, that these arcades will spend $23k on the cabinet.

That's only if they plan to buy it. No one buys them, they instead rent or lease them for a lenght of time.
Jdurg:
The U.S. Dollar has been plummeting in value versus other major markets in the world.  The Euro is worth a great deal more in comparison to the dollar, and right now the dollar has very little buying power outside of the US.  The poster who said "The US Dollar is worth a dollar" was trying to be a wise-ass and I'm just stating that the buying power of the dollar across the world is not nearly as good as it used to be.  I work in a global industry and we have a difficult time due to this devaluation of the dollar in comparison to the rest of the world.  For the longest time (nearly all of my life), the US dollar was always worth more than the Canadian dollar. Recently, the Canadian dollar has actually become more valuable than the US Dollar.  The old joke used to be that you could go to Canada to buy whatever you wanted because it was markedly cheaper.  Nowadays, that isn't true.

so away from the weakening dollar and getting back on topic...

i'd expect to see sfiv cracked for home use within a year or two. the taito type x2 is just a pc running winxp sp2 and the games are just hdds with a special usb security key. so while it may not be on mame for a few decades :P...i wouldn't think one would have to wait too long. (example: the iidx series. with a dump of the hdd and a special executable all of the releases from 9th style onwards are playable on home pcs.)

I knew you weren't aware of Google, but I didn't realize you haven't heard of wikipedia also.
