new arcade idea

okay guys i posted something about a month ago about the arcade machine i was building. well i got a computer tower and monitor, wireless mouse and keyboard but then i found this on craigslist. omg this seems so much easier. a simple modded xbox loaded w/ features easpecially mk 2 and 3, so basically all i need is a stick to plug up to make it a true arcade machine.

i called the guy and he booted mk1 and 2 and 3 from the midway treasures emulator on the 30gb xbox and he let me hear it. the sound wasnt off at all and he gave me his word that it was running at 100% full speed. our only concern was getting an arcade style stick that would plug in just like the normal xbox controller. i don know if there is such a thing but i think there is. basically all i would have to do is throw it in a cab and put a fan on it and put a 19 inch tv in it an i'm thinking it would look authentic. plz leave me any feedback because i want everones honest opinion before i do this.

I dont really understand why you would use an xbox tbh..

I've had an emulation of MK2 (no online play) on it and it did play pretty sweet, but obvius reasons IF the xbox should breakdown, you're done. Having a pc makes everything easier in the long run if you have technical problems..

Also, If you want dedicated controls on it, to hook it up you may need an apadter, wich can suck big time (delay input).

Using a PC would enable you with online play via Kaillera/P2P also, right?
 
i have a 6 month warranty. if i'm right about this i believe all i need is a 2 person xarcade controller and i should be done minus cutting a cab which is the easy part imo. basically make the cab set the box in it w/ a fan plug up the xarcade controller into the controller ports and set a tv into the cabinet and turn it on..am i not right?? wow i would have about 200 bucks in this thing and have 9000 plus roms in a standup arcade machine. then i can just sand the cab and get some mame and mk stickers for it. would this not technically work??

if i were you i would use a computer, being that u can do w.e you want plus you would have online capability which is badass.plus u can still use the xarcade stick and a tv.....makes more sense to me
 
From someone who has a softmodded xbox with XBMC, I can tell you that they're awesome unless you want to play HD movies.
I honestly don't notice any noise coming from it, and it does run MK2 full speed from MAME.

However, I've been considering replacing it with a home-theater PC running XBMC because I want to watch HD movies. The downside is that I won't be able to play any XB1 games off the hdd anymore (which I never really do anyway).
