Custom Game Console ideas?
« on: October 12, 2008, 03:26:43 pm »
Hello,

 I Have a idea of Creating myself a portable Games console
for MAME, and a few other favorites.

http://www.mini-itx.com
( Lots of good ideas here.. ;) )

I was really looking for some inspirational ideas for a names,
possible pics or links to pics..

I need a new Title for this New Bootscreen, etc.
I don't think Just a MAME Logo Bootscreen fits for this.

 I'm actually going a complete hack of the XP install
everything from Gui setup to Bootskin

( would change the Windows
2000 looking setup screen if I could figure out how.. ;))

All the colors, pics, etc... It will not look like a Windows box
at all.

Any ideas?

One thing to consider is that these machines are not very powerful, at least last time I looked.

 Ah.. but I have Nlite'd Systems that are not as powerful as
these and they run great!

( I Have A compaq presario 500 MHZ thats is running MAME,
and several other things.

 I really liking the idea of having one of these ...
( I will get one just a matter of when)

One of the PIco ITX boards can be ordered as a kit
with a very small case. It has Usb port in the front and
sound input and power button built in front as a console would.

 Personally I would re-paint it add, maybe add a design and
throw a name of some sort on it.

Just cant think of name for this "Console".. ;)
