Cabinet Kits Turn Your Xbox Into an Arcade

12/02/2005 1:30 PM

Dream Arcades doesn't want you to throw out your old Xbox when the Xbox 360 takes it place. The company's kits can turn anything - from an Xbox to a standard PC - into a classic upright or tabletop arcade game machine. The cabinet kits, which start at $659 plus shipping, include controllers with trackballs and full construction schematics, as well as a collection of 80 Atari classic video games and music jukebox software.

ROM Emulators

12/05/2005 9:03 AM

People have been building these kits for years with old computers loaded with classic video games. They run a MAME, a ROM emulator, and load it up with abandonware. It's great to be able to play Golden Axe or Zaxon on an old cabinet style machine. Classic geek cliche accessory for any pad. I'm planning on building one for my rec room when I get the time.
