PC Or Modded Box? For FIGHTER ONLY cab

<< < (2/3) > >>

nobody:
i belive you can now load linux onto the xbox aswell, not sure whether that stops you playing games normally but if you could it would give allow you to play alot of mame games aswell.

shodokan123:
there are x-box run emulators from what i know of... i'm unsure if i would need to put linux in there and such...

what do you all reccomend?

i will be a good 3-4 hours till i post again, i am in school at the moment, 2 classes to go... <cry>

btw spiffy, i forgot ur name >_< lolz... u get a new aim SN, cause i kinda deleted ur old one since u were never on.

AlanS17:
Well I don't know much about xbox's but I do know that it doesn't take a powerful pc to play most 2d fighters.

I say keep the xbox out for sitting on the couch and playing on the tv (like it was meant for). Put a cheapo pc in the cabinet that you'll never miss. PC's are a dime a dozen, but xbox's are never cheap.

xbox = $200
cheapo pc = $50 (or free if someone you know is upgrading)

Which would you rather have tied up and pigeon-holed?

AmericanDemon:
I am in the same boat shodokan.  So I decided to put both in my cabinet.  Along with a modded PS2. 

I have a few more parts to purchase before its go time, but soon enough the Optimus Prime Experiment will begin to take shape.

I'm a huge fighting fan and couldnt allow myself to miss out on Soul Calibur 3 for PS2, or not use my copy of Street Fighter Collection.  Plus the PC version of Guilty Gear.  Had to put them all on there. 

I look forward to following your project.

The PC does not have any of the new fighters though, such as Soul Calibur II, DOA 3 & Ultimate, Guilty Gear XX 2 #Reload, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance & Deception...


An Xbox is extremely easy to mod (especially so if you don't plan on getting on Live with it), and it also plays all the old classic fighters as well, so it is definitely the better route for a fighter cabinet.

Check out the following site for information:

http://www.xbox-scene.com

They have some pretty good tutorials, as well as having pretty healthy msg boards. If you have a question about modding an Xbox, then the answer can be found there somewhere.
