boXcade - XBox Arcade Project
« on: December 16, 2003, 11:12:27 pm »
 ;D
I just spent some time updating my website with the latest information on my boXcade project (XBox in an Arcade Cabinet).  The real reason for doing this is to explain to everyone that it's very possible with a little engineering and know-how to use an XBox instead of a PC.  

The website isn't as "crisp" as I would like it, but it gets the point across.

I'm still working on more pics of the cabinet and testing frame rates with the XBox emulators. (A few people have asked questions, like does "x or y game work..etc."

http://fp1.centurytel.net/retroarcade

BTW; if anyone wants the graphics/menu program or further details on "how to do -something-etc." please email me.

-Happy Holidays!
-Regards

I think you might've forgotten to upload it or something.  ;)  I see no "retroarcade" directory at http://fp1.centurytel.net

Pics look great.  Nice Track and Field, good story behind it too.

Quick question, why does the banner on your site appear to read,

Rectrocade?

Great site, by the way.  Lots of useful info.

Duh!  I need to have my eyes fixed.  I missed both 'C's on the graphic and in your post, 1HSC!
