  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hey all,

I have a 55" LCD TV hooked up to a surround sound in my living room. I am looking for a way to play Arcade (MAME) Turbografx 16, NES, Genesis, Super Nintendo, Gameboy emulators and ROMs on my TV from my computer in the bedroom without having to have a bulky tower in the living room. Can this be done? What kind of controller would I need? What kind of cabling? Would I need an extra wireless keyboard? I am basically looking to be able to get a one stop gaming station on my TV/Home Theater system.

If anyone has suggestions or links for the best versions of emulators for these systems I'm all ears....mine are a bit out dated

NES
SNES
Genesis
N64
Gamecube
Sega CD
Arcade
Atari
Gameboy
Turbografx 16
Neo-Geo
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast

Thanks so much!

  • I am good at liking video games
Yeah, HDMI can reach a long way.  You'll need/want wireless controllers & keyboard.  XBox360 controllers work pretty well for this, if you can map everything properly.

If worse comes to worse, you can get a long S-Video cable too.
