Arcade homebrew
eds1275:
I am currently involved in 4 arcade-style game projects that run on PC. I am using game maker from http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/studio. It's pretty easy to get something basic down and seems to be fairly good for customization. I suggest going through the 2 tutorials that come with it. The second tutorial is very poorly written, but if you can get your head around that then you should be good to go off on your own.
Well Fed Games:
Yeah, I'm working on a similar project, but I am just going the PC-in-a-cab route... having an actual Arcade PCB with a custom game would be cool, but how to do that? Cheffo's link is probably your best bet. D2K is an example, but it is not an original game, just new levels and some tweaks using existing game resources (not that the creator isn't a frickin' genius). Hopefully soon I will have a blog up about my project... once I get a couple other cabinet builds squared away. What kind of game you thinking about?
eds- I am using gamemaker too! Can't wait to see what you are working on!

Learn C# and get yourself a book on XNA 4.0
Make yourself a space shooter, PONG or Space War.
Lots of resources out there for you to get started.
You might make the next Pacman. :applaud:
What are you waiting for? Get coding! ;D

I started reading into it and want to do it in 6502 assembly language.Is there a "arcade board" emulator(I don't mean MAME) where i can just emulate the boards itself for Bega's Battle? I want to assemble my code and try running it using emulated boards. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Welcome to the site. You must be really good or completely suicidal. ;D
Just joking on the suicidal part. if you know assembly and want to get started on some sort of proto board, have a look at http://www.6502.org/homebuilt/
I remember some years ago there was a generic 6502 kit that one could buy that had audio, video and io pinouts ready.
