Windows Media Center 2005 and ArcadeVGA

[Circo]

I was considering upgrading my arcade cab to Windows Media Center Edition 2005, and I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't have any conflicts with my arcadevga card.  Has anyone tried this with success?

Thanks

No one?

Why would you want to put media center edition on your arcade machine?

[Circo]

A few reasons,

I have a Media Center 2005 PC as the server on my network.  It is loaded with Music and Videos as well as "PVR" recordings.  I already have this "extended" to all of the main rooms in the house via Media Center Extenders an an XBOX 360.  I want to use the arcade cabinet as the media center extension in the game room.  Also the ability to stream live tv over the network is an added plus.

I really doubt that the avga cards driver will be mce compliant.

I would say, throw a different hd in there and give it a go..

(Can't hurt to try.)

Also, if you have the 9200 version the the avga you probally have better luck.

Try over at www.gameex.info, a bunch of the people over there use mce, gameex even has built in support for arcadevga to control the modes, and support for mce features like playing recorded shows and such.   You can make a console with an arcadeish look that still has the mce features.
