Funny thing is I did the opposite thing I found an old arcade cabinet and used an old computer that I had and made me an all in one arcade machine. I just gutted the PC put it in the cabinet and installed MAME on it. The hardest part was getting the buttons and coin slots to work. This seems like alot of trouble for just a few games, but I do respect his skills. <br><br>I am surprised that he hasn't made a portable Gamecube yet since he has done it wih every other system. Looks like it would be easy for hm since it is already so small.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[patrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2006 6:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How To: Consolize an arcade game]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/how-to-consolize-an-arcade-game/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/how-to-consolize-an-arcade-game/</guid><description><![CDATA[been there, dont that....<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris26]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2006 4:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How To: Consolize an arcade game]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/how-to-consolize-an-arcade-game/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/how-to-consolize-an-arcade-game/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jeesh.
