Please Help XBox, Connections and Cabs!
« on: September 09, 2003, 06:52:36 am »
Hi all just registered, but have been coming to this place for years.  I've just recently got a new (better paying) job and am now thinking of forfilling my dream of an arcade cabinet in my home! :D

Just a Few Questions first.

I have a Microsoft Xbox and have found a guy who sells Cabs with the monitors in them, i am wondering what to look for.  I want to play xbox titles like Capcom Vs SNK 2 and Soul Calibur II, also i have the Xbox MAME and have a few games such as frogger and pacman, and would love to play these as well.

I need help with info on what arc monitor should work and what cords/connections i need to hook the xbox up to an Arcade Monitor?!

Thanks, any help is very much appreciated!

Cya!

====EDIT: Or would it be better to buy the cab without the arc monitor and buy a tv and put a bezel over the face of the tv?  whats better? Thanks.

I think you answered your own question.  For an Xbox based cab go for a TV.

yeah if it's just xbox go for a TV.  That would be the absolute easiest solution.  S-video at least, too.

If you are in the UK or Europe try a Xbox SCART connector for your TV.
