had my annual march madness/arcade/poker shindig at the house this past weekend and a few folks were all over the nba hangtime game, which rekindled my love affair with that game/genre.
so i got to thinking.....i have two cabs right now that aren't doing much. one is a four player cab that is completely gutted. one is a dynamo cab that i was using for my multicade until it crapped out last week.
there's a new nba jam game on the 360, which is awesome btw...got me wishing that i could play it in an arcade cab with arcade controls the way it was intended to be played.
so how hard would it be to take a 360 and hook it up to an arcade cab? looking at it, it looks like a 24 inch LCD would fit perfectly and be almost exactly the same size as far as the playable screen area is concerned. if i used that gutted cab, i could just mount the TV, install the 360, and be almost done...just gotta figure out how to get the controls to the arcade stick/buttons. that seems to be the most difficult part, but i'm assuming it's possible.
i did a search on here and didn't see any recent topics on the subject (looked back 5 pages or so). has anybody done anything like that? thoughts on it? also, anybody have any idea about the controls? and can you give me some pointers on that....i have no idea where to start as far as that part is concerned.
thanks.
