with your set up
you can do
NES
SMS
All Game boys
most Turbo Grafix 16 games
Atari Systems

but I did have consoles in my cab once , I did not like it.
I ended up building a console PC and stuck it to a TV.  I did not even try to hide it.
I bought and or made game pads for all system I use and made them fit USB.
Atomic FE is my front end.

also I put my favorite movies as AVI (DIVX) files 1gig in size each
Another plus. I got sick of our DVD player's going out every 3 to 6 months.
I use the PC to play and back up our DVDs

I bought some peg board with hooks. All my game pads hang off them

This is used a great deal more than my Mame cab

G1zm0:

think i will just keep mame cab for arcaDE and daphie and just put console ones on laptop

severdhed:

if you are looking for console emulation, a modded xbox is a great choice.  the gamepad has enough buttons to handle jsut about every console emulator that runs on it.   it is how i do all of my classic console emulation.  it works great with NES, SNES, GEnesis, Turbografx 16, pretty well with N64, and some playstation games.  plus it is easy to connect to your big screen tv and play from the couch with a gamepad, just like you used to with all of those consoles you are trying to emulate...

to top if of, you can pick up a refurb xbox for $40 at gamestop now, so it is very cost effective

daywane:

that is one way to do it but 1 xbox game pad for all STINKS

I need all original game pads for each system

I tried to stick with Microsoft sidewinders.
Super Mario cart not fun at all unless you use super nes pad
side winder wheel was fun  ;D

Just a reminder that the SMS also had a console-mounted pause button.

Having console games in an arcade is great, particularly for fighting games that only saw a console release or were better emulated than they are in MAME (ie. Tekken games on PSX), or a lot of 8/16-bit platformers that do play well with arcade controls - after all, it's that era that aspired to replicate the arcade experience as closely as possible.
