Plays pretty well with a joystick although I am sure it is much better with a wheel. One shortcoming - no visible damage to the cars after a crash. There is a downloadable free version - http://trackmania.com/

I didn't know about this. It looks awesome. I'm downloading the free TM Nations Forever right now. Here's a place to get it. Is it generally cabinet friendly?

Im in the planning stages of a racing cab myself. Bought a fantastic steering controller from miniwah for it. Not going the PC route this time. I'm going for an xbox 1 in mine. You can pick one up for loads less than the $100 upgrade. They are dirt cheap, easy to connect to an arcade monitor and burnout revenge and outrun coast to coast on it yummy!!!

I bought a used Xbox locally for mere $25! I softmodded it, threw MAMEoX on it and was considering on using it in my next cab.
A nice cheap alternative! (Plus it can play Xbox games as well)

Here is a good softmodd tutorial for anyone that has an xbox laying around. I wish I still had mine. I was dumb and traded it in for money on the new xbox 360. I love my 360 but wish I had both.
DeLuSioNal29: did you put a bigger hard drive in your xbox mod? If so how many gigs? I heard some guys putting 1 terrabyte in there but It might be urban legend.

I have two of them. My first has a 200gb drive on it. I use that for MAME, emus and Xbox games. That one has a X-ecuter mod chip in it so the hard drive swap was pretty much painless. The other is softmodded using the Splinter Cell Savegame exploit. I use that one for XBox Media Center and it's set up in my family room on the big TV for Divx movies, streaming from the web, etc. :afro:

Yah it is actually very cab friendly. I use it with a GP-Wiz and you can easily navigate the game. Works great on my AMD Semperon 2800+ with a GeForce 6600 in it.

Yah I also have a couple of modded original Xbox's and they are great for driving games; bought a couple of cheap steering wheels to use with them. And of course XBMC is amazing as a media center.
