A guy friend installed a tv in this cabinet and I gutted a xarcade and installed a PS2 in this cabinet.
The button colors correspond to playstation colors found on playstation controllers.
The yellow button next to the green button is R1.
The black button next to the red button is R2.
The black button next to the player 1 start is select.
I chose not to use L1 or L2 on my control panel.
Cable is also connected to this cabinet so I can enjoy television.

What about games that use the analog PS2 sticks? Isn't that most of them?
-
I can play digital and analog games.
My 6 year old cousin has played "I Ninja" and a few other analog only games.
Works like a charm.
To play analog games you have to do a two button combination to switch the joysticks between digtal and analog.

X-arcade can simulate analog

I was not aware the Xarcade could do analog. What's the stick in one of those things?
-
Just a regular old Happ Controls super.
I was worried that playing analog games would stink but I guarantee you that my 6 year old cousin didn't want to stop playing.
The manual tells you how to switch between digital and analog and anglog to digital.
I can't find my manual right now but I think I press black+purple or black+green to switch to analog.
I cant remember.
On my control panel.
Blue button = X
Red button = circle
Green button = triangle
Purple button = square

Nice cabinet. Do you have to reach in to change the games or do you have them on a hard drive? I have the same setup as you(xarcade board) except I also have a computer and xbox along with my ps2. I use a serial switcher and have the games for both the box and ps2 stored on the hd for each respectively. No need to reach in the cabinet. If your interested in storing your games(legal backups) on a hd for the ps2 pm me. I dont want to mention to much on here because the company is getting sued by sony for the software they created only a month ago.

unlike what some other sites have reported, the exclusive distributors of the software have been actively going about websites and collecting information on sites, IRC Chans, users and off-site links to it in order to file lawsuits on those posting the links and the forums with links contained within them. We have censored the links posted so far.

Is is possible to just buy the X-arcade board so that I can use it with my existing setup? Or do i have to shell out for the whole setup ($149 for two player)?

I reach in and change the games.
I've heard of the Sony hard drive but not the software to run the games.
Thanks

I bought the cabinet as a Sega Virtua Fighter 2 and found out the hard way that I could only run Sega model 2 games that use a medium resolution monitor.
I bought Dead or Alive 1 and Sonic Championship a few years back so that I could have three games in the cabinet.
It was a pain switching between these three games.
I ended up selling the Dead or Alive 1 and Virtua Fighter 2 motherboards after the dreamcast came out. I had planned on putting the dreamcast in my cabinet but my dreamcast bit the dust. After that my arcade monitor stopped working and I sold the Sonic Championship motherboard.

I thin I heard a while back about someone buying the xarcade encoder on ebay but I don't know if that was a rumor or not.
I would have loved to have soldered some ps1 controllers but I don't solder that well.
So I just ended up getting the xarcade.

You can buy the board from xarcade if they have some availiable. Or I believe you can buy a single xarcade refurbished for real cheap and it comes with the same board as the double I believe BUT NOT 100% sure.
