I might've asked this before...I dunno...old timers flares up and stuff...anyhow...anyone here set one up and use one?

I'm about 98.2% of the way set up for it.

Like, a full arcade box running MAME? They are cool projects but I've never done one myself.

iCade is an easy way out.

MAME is just one of the apps I'm running.

I'm using Hyperspin as the main interface...for NES/SEGA/PS2/ROMS...right now I just have it working on a pc BUT I'm looking at upgrading to a pedestal cabinet with X-Arcade controller...using a 42" wide screen tv as the display

This sounds pretty cool! Way over my head, but I'll follow this to see how it comes out.

Right now I have it working lo-tech...a couple of USB controllers that I bought on eBay...the shipping was more than the actual items!

I was looking for an arcade locally to scrap...then I was going to just use a converted desk...I still might but I do like the X-Arcade controller...gets a ton of great reviews.

Just using some pc speakers...without a subwoofer and a normal pc display.

That's the low tech setup though...from there it gets a bit more complicated but there's TONS of forums and sites to get help from.
