Yea, Still patiently waiting for CO5. Have tons of fun with 4, but still want 5s updates haha. Lets go!

He made a thread on coin ops saying it "weeks away" My guess is 2 weeks.

Yeah, whens this release happening...

nice, thanks a lot.

I hear ya. About the xbox controller though...you could always get someone to make an adapter for arcade sticks to work with an original xbox or make the actual stick to work with an xbox. So you could pretty much replicate the arcade controllers. But you got me on the tron/star wars joy stick. But if you don't play those games you don't have to worry about it. Since you know about dream arcades I might as well ask you, do you know if theres a way to use original consoles controllers (NES/SNES/GENESIS/ps1) with there pedestal or cabinets? I know they sell there own "duel analog controller" but they don't have any pics or even mention it on there web site. Plus they sell it for an absurd $150 dollars. Do you know anything about there controller? Pretty cool that you made your own cabinet. Wish I could learn to do it. Do you think the Dream arcade cabinets/pedestals are worth the prices they charge? Mike

A little late to the party, but I think this can be answered quite easily. How old are you? I think that really is a relevant question to understand the "why." You had to be there, when these systems were released is what I mean. No Xbox loaded with whatever would ever take the place of a good arcade. Forget for a second that any emulator never gets it quite right - sounds slightly off, wrong controls, speed slightly off. The biggest motivator of all is the ambiance. Back in the day, arcades were a place to socialize. The people milling around playing games, discussing the finer points of each game, the comraderie, the high score rivalries, the sights, sounds and smells all recall an age gone by. It's a complete nostaglia kick. Finally someone replies without crying. Thanks. I know that emulated games sometimes aren't 100% identical, but most if not all are at least 95% wouldn't you say? And some being perfectly emulated. I'll take that for $100 over buying multiple arcade cabinets just to have it 100% authentic and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plus it takes up way less room. The controls on emulated games are inaccurate? I wasn't aware of that, but if true that sucks. I thought you could map the controls for emulated games... Also, did you ever hear of dream home arcades? I just found out about them a couple of days ago. They customize any type of cabinet to your liking with over 24,000 games on it using Hyperspin. You get a lifetime warranty with lifetime updates for new games. You're telling me you rather spend thousand more for the real thing, instead of spending $3,500 to $4000 max for a customized cabinet with pretty much every arcade game ever including consoles up to dream cast? I don't know man, but even if I was rich, I'm taking option 2. I'm only taking option 1 if I owned an arcade, in which I would have no choice. But I'm talking about personal use in your house/mansion. I'm only 20 btw, so I never got to experience the arcades golden days back in the 70s and 80s, but I love arcade/classic games unlike 90% of the kids my age that rather play Call of Duty like idiots.

Just read the comments, sounds like it works like you said. Nice.

I've been told that games lag when using a 1TB HDD with a SATA to IDE connector. Can anyone confirm this?

lolololololololololol you are funny Mike, all that money could go to charity, I almost spit my coffee out when I read that. I'll give you some trolling advice, since you can use it. Now, the charity line was epic, seriously I really laughed but...if you want anyone to take you seriously as a troll you need to establish a little more of a rep. If you drop a bomb like this with only 5 total posts, nobody will even respond to you, well, maybe Ax but he responds to everyone Don't give everything in the first post, start with asking why he doesn't just do emulation, then about 3 or 4 posts in you can drop the "donate to charity" bomb on him. Have an avatar, every good troll has one. Nothing too flashy but something other people use. Everybody always looks at a posters post count with no avatar and then we can tell you are new. You might be able to slip by un-noticed and get a few laughs before we catch you. Oh, and I almost forgot, go F yourself (just a preview of some awesome responses you might get if you learn to troll properly) In closing, even though Mike is obviously a joke poster, it's terrible that there are actually people in the world that think this way. Just because you work hard, sacrifice and get ahead in life some people feel you "owe" the world something just because you made the right choices in life and reached your goals. Don't let this guy get to you at all ccatalyst, he is just trying to get a reaction (unsuccessfully I might add) Charity, lol, classic... First bold...proof that you're a geek an nobody can take you serious. Only forum losers that sit on a computer all day like you use that word...10,000 posts? sun light kid. ' second bold...I couldn't care less if you take me serious or not, Its a public forum on the internet. You obviously take this way to seriously. Third bold...Don't want one. I can't tell if thats you in your "avatar" or if you're just "trolling" because anyone with common sense knows, You look like that, or worse. forth bold...U mad? I wasn't even talking to you to begin with so please hop off my nuts. I was just asking a legit question. I just don't see the point in this (unless the.golden.ax is right, then I take what I said back). I know many people who are successful , "work hard", "sacrifice" and "get ahead in life", but they don't just throw money away just because they can. My uncle makes 400,000+ a year and he drives a mini van. You need to get your priorities straight if you have to reply to me, when I wasn't talking to you to begin with. That's someone who looks for a "reaction". Now calm down and go cry yourself to sleep big guy. Pce. A) ccatalyst has an awesome collection B) Crazyclimber is a chick magnet in real life. If he wasn't married with family responsibilities, and I was a chick... whoa watch out. C) Ask your uncle if he wants to donate some money to my cause. I call it "cause I want money." A) " ccatalyst has an awesome collection"...oK? I already stated that in my first post... B) " Crazyclimber is a chick magnet in real life. If he wasn't married with family responsibilities, and I was a chick... whoa watch out."...So you just admitted the guy is married with kids, basically admitting hes most likely in his late 20, probably 30s, and hes arguing on a video game forum?. No offense but you're dumb. Good job. C) " Ask your uncle if he wants to donate some money to my cause. I call it "cause I want money" If you were trying to make a joke, you failed. I would ask him if he blew his money on random things he doesn't need or went way over board in buying certain things...but he doesn't, hence him driving a mini van. OT...When I said he can give money to charity that was just an example. All I asked was, what is the point in buying that many arcades machines? If you don't like my question then oh well. Go cry somewhere else. I wasn't asking you two anyway. But like I said, if this is for an "arcade", like you mentioned earlier, I take what I said back. But is looks like it is his since everyone is saying "nice collection". But if its for an arcade, then I don't consider it "his", when its for the public to use, and hes making money off of it.

Did u get these for free? I hope so, because these probably cost a shit load, and for what? Its does look sweet but I can never see myself spending the money to have this when I could just hook the system up to a TV which is basically what this is lol.

Nice collection but I dont see the point. You can just buy a custom arcade with a modded xbox with emulators on it. It would save hundreds of thousands of dollars and take up about 1/100 of the space. You're going to die sooner or late and all of this would be just a waste of time and money. Even if you're rich (which you obviously are) I still don't see a point. All of that money could go to charity. Could you enlighten me? Mike

Sorry for double post. Ok, I understand. Thanks. I'll PM you later. This mod sounds sweet.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. How is the quality of the emulators compared to OG hardware? I ask because I never used an emulator. Also, I'm just wondering, couldn't all the emulators being downloaded onto the xbox just be downloded on a computer? What is thE point in modding the xbox if it can be done a a PC?

Ok, thanks for the reply. But how is the quality of the emulators? I ask only because I never used them. Also, couldn't all the emulators just be downloaded on a computer? Whats the point in modding an xbox to have the emulators? Just curious. I am interesnted in the mod, since I have 2 xboxes sitting in my house. Thanks again.
