MAME on X-Box

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the isn't-that-swell dept.

wht writes "Mame successfully running on an X-Box dev kit. The same guy also did a port for Playstation 2, which I'd love to get my hands on. I do have to say, I'd buy an X-Box if it makes a good, cheap Mame machine, with quality controllers easily available." Having mostly completed My MAME Cabinet I'd tend to agree that its all about controllers. And stuff like this is why the x-box is going to change things. Well, that and DOA3.

  1. Isn't X-Box Hackproof? by Fizzlewhiff · · Score: 2, Funny
    I thought Microsoft was trying really hard to keep people from hacking the X-Box by adding alternate OS's, accessing the hardware internals, etc. If this is still the case, how does one expect to put MAME on it and all the games that go with it?


    Unless X-Box is running IIS, it might be pretty hard to hack. :)

    I think the backgrounds are going to look a little better. Also, you'll be able to get a complete workout by holding the 400-pound controller-from-hell for an extended period of time.

    What? Haven't you heard? DOA3 on the X-Box is going to use WinCE-Boob 2001! This will give DOA3 the biggest, bounciest, boobiest boobs ever!
    Heck, everything's better with boobs, and better boobs makes it better better!
    heh.
