Project : C-MACC'S (Complete - Multi Arcade Console Computer System)
IG-88:
Interesting project. I have a few questions if thats OK.
Which systems are you emulating and which are you using the actual consoles on?
On the consoles, how are you loading the games? Will you have access to them from the outside of the cab?
What on Gods green earth do you need 3 Terabytes of storage for?
How do you plan on using your control panel for emulated consoles that use joysticks?
XYXZYZ:
Are you going to switch out the consoles by hand when you want to play them?
Do they actually make stand-up candy cabs, or did you modify that? :applaud:
That's a hell of an investment, £2500+ is like, $47,000.00 US dollars. (If it isn't it will be soon)
BASS!:
The current exchange rate is 1.9699, which means $4,924.75

Hi there again.
Right consoles being installed hardware wise are -
Xbox (will have a 2 x 750 Gb Fitted once i get the time)
Xbox360 (just leaving this as standard for now)
Ps 3 With 60 Gig (he one that playes ps1 and ps2 games as well) (60gb hd was replaced with a 200 Gb one)
Wii Cos it allso playes Game cube as well
Nintendo DS (dammaged atm need to repair it and wire it up)
PSP (has a TV out fitted)
Dream cast (fully modded)
The reason why im using these hardware consoles is they are not properly and fully working emulated there for reverted to hardware insted.
Each console is turned on individualy useing switches that im ading on to the system ( they are hidden from normal view as notto clutter up the Playing area)
The cd Roms will be removed from each of the systems and placed Hidden at the frot were you can have access to them.
The xbox 360 / ps3 / wii controllers willall have recharge points and a storage area.
There is 4 TB of HD space as im achiving every thing to do with gaming. this isnt just a arcade machean its a histroy of gaming in one arcade cab. And will reflect that buy haveing any thing and every thing includeing pics and history of every game i can get my grubby hands on.
The Jemma to ? Conntector i am working on will allow all the systems to run through it. If you turn on a system it will switch to that system automaticly. Ony problem being is you can only run 1 console at a time (but whats wrong with that it save a fortune in electric).
Heat is a bigproblem but im working on that. all the console will be stripped to there bare bones and plenty of fans and i maybe emplying a water coling loop into the cab to provide the cooling.
Costs so far including all the hard ware is more than above as ive orderd some new stuff and a new pc as i blew the old one.
If you add up every thing being added to the system you are looking by the time ive finished min of £4500.
As for systems being emulated the is every thing as in every mame / mess / console / computer / aracde game that i get get working through game ex. And if it doesnt work through ex ill find a way around it. The hardware build is the easy bit the software build is a nightmare .....
P.s some one said someware im greedy, personly i dont think it is, this is a retro heven musium / archive and in retrosepc will reflect all of that.
