Anyone into PS1 games? I got a bunch of rare japanese games.
How often do people run ps1 emulators on their cabs?

Not as often as you might think, as 50% of people tend to only run arcade emulators, about 30% run other console emulators, 10% only collect genuine arcade cabinets, and the final 10% are still undecided.
I personally run them in my cab as there are some great fighters that are actually better emulated or better played on PS1 (ie. Tekken, Soul Blade etc.) and some other great games that play surprisingly well with arcade controls, however with PS1, N64 etc. you are moving into the 5th generation of consoles, which were natively created with joypads and analog controls in mind and not born from an arcade background as previous consoles were, plus from an emulation point of view are relatively high rresource demanding and have imperfect emulators with a more complex setup - not always ideal for an arcade cabinet environment.

+ 1 for the above poster
but yeah i run ps1 and n64 in my cab
probleem indeed is the button layout you could get an xbox360 pad and wireless pc reciever then set that up
if you have a drawer under your cp maybe you can put the 360 pad in there

My cab runs Mame, Daphne, PSX, NES, SNES, and Genesis.
I only have a handful of PSX games on there, though I have well over 500 PSX games. (Burned, duh)

No accusatory offense intended here, just curious; where did that statistic come from? Is that from your sales info?
