arcade cabinet with multiple consoles question?
ark_ader:
Exactly how I do it. X Arcade + Switch for Xbox,GC,PS1,DC - and I have the new adapters that have no lag issues.
Nice and easy. :cheers:

which adapters do you use??
im thinking of getting a red white yellow box to switch between, not sure of the name of them
and getting another x arcade for the ps2. i have the xbox one in there and seems fine with no lag that i can tell ??

if you are using the composite video (yellow/red/white), then you can probably pick up one of those video selector switches at walmart pretty cheap. most of them have 4 inputs so you can hook up several consoles.
as for the x-arcade adapters. i have ones for the xbox, playstation(2), gamecube and dreamcast. i have never noticed any kind of input lag.(although it has been years since i used any of them.) the serial port switchbox works very well for switching the controls back and forth, i even emailed x-arcade support before buying one to make sure that would be ok, and they said that it is how they recommend doing it. the guy suggested making sure that one of the consoles it turned off before switching it though, because the x-arcade needs to power down and back on in order for it to properly recognize the adapter. (so if you are playing xbox, and want to switch to the ps2, make sure you switch your controls, then turn your playstation 2 on.)

i live in australia so i dont have a walmart :)
sweet ill always shut down before switching etc.. . i think if i dont sometimes the xbox x arcade adapter gets the button inputs wrong
cool ill look into it i really want to put a ps2 in there for a couple of the fighting games which arnt available for xbox, for eg tekken and king of fighters

i can't even imagine not having a walmart. most stores that sell electronics and video games will have video selector switchboxes....at least here in the US.
