What games deserved a dedicated cabinet but didn't get one?

The only thing I've got so far is to mount a decased xbox 360 controller just under the CP and let the sticks poke out through the holes.

That or run the Vista version with two hacked joysticks, it that's even possible.

Best case scenario would be to connect potentiometers to a couple balltops somehow and solder them to the xbox controller.

There are analog arcade joysticks.  And there are a hundred or more analog PC joysticks.

True. None of which you can directly communicate with the encrypted Xbox 360 interface, but true. Which still leaves screwing around with pots and soldering them to an xbox 360 controller.

They would work with the Vista version, wouldn't they?

Namco:
Ooh, I get the confusion.

Yeah, I was imaging if I used Geometry Wars on Vista, I would take two hacked analog PC joysticks, and by hacked I mean remove them from their plastic enclosures and bottom mount them to a CP. Then it begs the question, in Geometry wars on Vista, can you even map movement to Player 1 Joy X & Y axes and shooting to Player 2 Joy X & Y axes?

But that's just me asking rhetorical questions in a derailed thread about a project that I probably will never undertake in my lifetime. Do not attempt to answer these types of rhetorical questions.  ;D

I don't know how you could play this with a trackball? On the PS2 it uses the 2 analog sticks as tank-sticks, similar to Battlezone.
