Now, maybe this is just my opinion here, but why would anyone put arcade conversions on their mame machine?  The mame machine is designed so you can play the originals.

With a mod x-box, you can put mame on it.  So with it, you can play both x-box games and mame.  Another good point is that it outputs to the TV easily and looks pretty good.

This is great for those who doesnt want to mess with a arcade monitor and has a x-box & spare  TV lying around.

Great work Andy! ;D

Lilwolf:
Cool! 

So, does it require a IPac or will any ps2 keyboard encoders / keyboards work?  I know you can't offically guarantee it, it would be nice to know if it SHOULD work.

any chance of a dreamcast version?? 

shmokes:
Yeah.  The Xbox is $150.  Plop in a $50 mod chip and you've got a decent MAME PC that will also play quite a few arcade ports, as well as Xbox exclusive fighters and such.  Things like Soul Caliber II probably wouldn't be emulated for another 3 or 4 years at least, but can already be played on Xbox. 

Trust me.  This is a very good thing.  And I have to agree on the analog thing.  While I think that this thing would be MUCH better if it did support analog sticks and all the buttons (though the triggers would probably have to be buttons that activated a hard trigger press), it wouldn't help many people out.  As Minwah mentioned, very few people have analog sticks on their control panels.  I must admit, though, that if this thing had support for analog sticks I would probably remedy the lack of analog sticks on my control panels pretty quickly.

As is, though, it's a VERY good thing.  Thanks Andy.

Maybe not the best example, but you can play Blitz of SF Rush on a Dreamcast or Nintendo64, or (if they have versions of it), on an XBOX.

Mame supports them, but I can't play them on my XP2800.  I might not be able to play them on the 10Ghz computer that I won't shell out the money for in five years.
