Title: Anybody share a console (eg. X-BOX) with a cabinet and your regular TV/consoles?
Post by: sofakng on January 10, 2005, 08:30:37 am

I'd really like to add an X-BOX to my cabinet, but I'm not sure I can justify spending a $120 a second X-BOX, since I already have one that is modded with a 80 GB hard drive.

So... ideally I'd like to run some really long cables across my room (perhaps using Ultimarc's new X-BOX Adapater) to connect the X-BOX to my arcade cabinet but I'm not sure it's worth it.

My other option is to put my existing X-BOX into my arcade cabinet, buy wireless controllers, and run long RCA cables to my regular TV so I can still play my X-BOX w/o using the arcade cabinet.

Any thoughts?

i have a JPS2 hooked up to my machine since the only games i play on it are Bemani music games, the US ps2 stays inside. I think the easiest solution is to just bite the bullet and get another system or just get 2 sets of xbox hookup wires, so all you need to do is grab the system and bring it in a different room and plug in 2 wires
