Well, while I don't go in for the cabinet thing, I do own an X arcade
joystick which is fantastic!
Basically it's what would happen if you sliced the control section off a
streetfighter or turtles cabinet, ---- a huge, steel shafted joystic, pluss
about eight buttons.
I've not got the pc usb adapter for it so I've not been able to play either
audiogames or mame stuff, however I have had lots of fun on my gamecube and
Gba, particularly with things like final fight 1, soul calibur and double
dragon.
To anyone who knows the Metroid games, it's also fantastic for doing space
jumps on.
I really did ought to buy that pc adapter actually, ---- especially as mame
comes with standard config settings for the x arcade stick.
Beware the Grue!

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game arcades in shopping malls and cafes
A whole area of gaming I never realised existed until recently is the
cultivation of those old arcade cabinets. Their are guys and gals all
over the world buying them from arcades that close down, redesigning
the interior to occomodate a mac or pc running the emulator of choice
(usuallly some flavour of Mame), and voila, multipurpose arcade chaos
in your lounge. Some people take this stuff pretty far, I saw an
awesome Apple cab where the guy had done a really swanky job of the
interior, plus imbeded a little keyboard into the exterior along with
power and standby buttons and such. Fun fstuff!
So, Chrissy, if you have room at home for one of those motorcycles... lol

when I still had vision left, have not tried out any in a
long time other than the aforementioned.
