Your DIY Arcade Machine?

Posted by Cliff on from the show-off-your-skillz dept.

astro_ripper asks: "I'm looking into building my own MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), and for the most part the equipment and know-how to build one can be found via our good friend Google. However, the number of webpages dedicated to showing off complete machines or other gaming hardware hacks (turning an XBox into a full MAME, for example) are a little lacking. My guess is that if any group is going to have a decent amount of gaming hardware hackers, it's going to be Slashdot, so I ask you all: What type of custom gaming rigs have you built?"

    The guys are a couple of friends of mine with too much spare time on their hands! They build an arcade machine using a PC and a TV, and they later used that knowledge to build a DDR machine. The site has some good techie background that might prove useful for you.

    Enjoy! (And i'll get a good laugh if the site crashes because of /. hehehe)

    I'm obsessed with Dance Dance Revolution, and so I built myself a DDR Studio! The web page shows version 1.0 of the studio. I'll soon have an update to show the even nicer 2.0 version.
