X-Arcade: Is it really that bad!?
ripperman:
Hi everyone
I am embarking on my own cabinet adventure and up until lately I had my heart set on getting the x-arcade two player tankstick. I was planning on putting custom graphics over it. However after reading many comments through these pages, now I am not so sure. Any advice? I personally love the old classic games but to be honest the machine will be used mostly for bouts of streetfighter and king of the fighters with my mates. Would u360 joysticks be the better option? If so what kind of setup with these do I need(springs, plates etc). All that stuff is new to me. Thanks guys.
PS. The level of talent, knowledge and enthusiasm shown through these pages is astounding. Keep up the good work :)

X-arcade: lack 4way mode, keyboard encoder is crap
yes U360 is better

I had an X-arcade dual before I built my own CP. And I did that because I wanted to build an entire cabinet and add a few controls. It really comes down to what you like. Try it out if you can and see if you like the way it feels. This topic is pretty subjective.
I didn't mind it, but it's not horrible or anything. Just feels a little sloppy, somehow.

I also had a two player or dual before building my own monstrosity.
I personally didn't have any issues with the FUNCTION of the X-Arcade but the PERFORMANCE was sometimes a problem.
What I mean is that the feel of the layout of the joysticks and buttons were fine and that the four way/eight way thing wasn't ever an issue for me. However, I had quite a few problems getting the device to play nice with various PC configurations - not to mention having difficulty getting it to behave the way the manual/tech docs indicated it should. It certainly could have been a problem with my individual unit but that sort of thing turned me off more than anything else.
I actually liked the thing once I got it set up the way I wanted. It just didn't do EVERYTHING I wanted. So, I built my own. :)
