MAME could become obsolete

Casual players then won't have to muddle with hardware compatibility and such on the consoles. With their Vewlix styled arcade sticks and HDTVs, that'll be what hurts the arcade operators. :3

It will be interesting to see if it is, often this kind of project can be cancelled for reasons like this. Hopefully the company concerned will see that XB360 / PS3 are different markets than the PC and proceed anyway, but it only takes one person to pull funding due to this hack for the whole project to fall through and people to lose their jobs over it.

Fighting games have long been the realm of consoles, with very few fighting games ever seeing PC releases. A lot of fighting game franchises now are released to console before arcade and some are never ported to arcade at all because it's more profitable just to target consoles.
With the lingering death of arcades, I would be shocked if BB:CS never went to consoles, especially when the original has sold almost 500 000 copies globally.

Yeah, I wonder the same thing too. Does anyone know the group responsible for this emulator? Does anyone know if they have a forum or site?
Oh yeah,
*ahem* blah blah argh mame blah blah

It's not an emulator. It's a leaked, unencrypted copy of the original code...there is a BIG difference. None of the other games have been decrypted. Type X2 is a Windows PC, no need for emulation on these games YET.

It goes without saying normally, but no piracy links please. Thanks :)

I think this will certainly not go over well with Taito. However I can only see it making a positive impact on sales in the US.
Only a handful of arcades in the US bought CS boards, a teeny tiny fraction of those in Japan. They simply can't be compared. There are probably 10,000 CS boards in japan, and maybe 20 in the entire US.
Now there will be thousands of home users in the US who will have access to the game, and probably a couple dozen arcades will pirate it.
This will create a scene for the game and build a community that will only increase when the console release happens.
However, as I said, I don't think Taito will see it this way. They will simply think piracy = lost profits, and will probably take action in further hardware updates to increase security.
Imagine if SSFIV was going to be released in arcades and this happened? The consequences would be huge.
