WTF! Guitar Hero Arcade is just a computer running XP??!?
I was playing Guitar Hero Arcade last night at our hotel and the game started acting crazy (the leaderboard was superimposed over the gameplay, the leaderboard wouldn't go away. You couldn't see anything). I grabbed the attendant and asked if she could restart it. She did.
Well, she restarted it and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was just like my Ms. Pac MAME cabinet. First I saw a DELL boot screen and then I saw the XP logo. It blew my mind. When it got to the game after Windows loaded I saw all these USB self test screens as it attempted to connect to the guitars.
Anyways, should I not be surprised by this?
