The PC, Xbox, PS2, GameCube and 2600, Together at Last

Posted by chrisd on from the joystick-elbow-makes-my-arm-twinge dept.

The Screen Savers have a story on their website about the building of a single box 2600/PS2/GameCube/Xbox/PC/ NES player. But this is not a mame ? box. The builder, Yoshi, dismantled, cut,chopped and belt-sanded the consoles to make them all fit in the same Lian-76 case. I can only imagine how hot this case might get. There is a photo album here. It looks like you'd still need a video switcher to take advantage of this completely. A cool mod for this would be to pack in a wintv card for each console or something.

    It won't do XBOX or PS2 natively, but you have every other emulator that you can think of.

      Here's the details on that Arcade PC: 21inch SVGA Monitor
      Super Sound System w/ Sub Woofer
      600Mhz Pentium based Computer System
      Pull out keyboard drawer
      Working Coin Doors
      Full Size (HotRod) Control panel w/ Trackball
      Marquee Light
      Locks and Keys
      Levelers
      I think I'd rather spend my money on a better system and better components. The only thing that's quite attractive is the cabinet. Other than that, you'd probably get ripped off buying this.

  2. Video switcher is built in by __aaaaxm1522 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Saw a demo of this on The Screen Savers tonight. The video switcher is built in - it's a knob on the front panel - twist it, and it switches from one feed to another.
