Title: Question
Post by: dbinder1987 on August 17, 2006, 10:28:46 pm

I will be going off to college soon and i am thinking of building an arcade "machine" while im there. I will be running most of the games of of a PC. i was just wondering if anyone knows of a program that i can put on the pc that will load up when windows xp starts and have the option to browse all the games i have. Thanks

Dave

If you are going to mainly be playing PC games, why do you want a cabinet? Not trying to discourage you (if fact I say build one), but it would seem more comfortable to play long form games at a computer. Use the cab for short form games. Just my $.02.

I think he meant he would play the games off of a PC, meaning he would be using a PC to play them rather than having them in a cab or using the original PCB's. . .  My guess, anyway.
