Has anyone seen these mini arcade things.

Hey I ran across these things on the net does anyone know anything about them or what is your opinion on it.

Overpriced and cheaply made. I work at Target's HQ and they had a bunch of them set up one day, and they kept breaking.

They're basically cabinets running modified versions of MAME or some other emulator.

Yeah don't even call those things "arcade" games :P

[boatofcar]

Do they sell those in stores, or is it just an online thing?

[Push Upstairs]

I saw the previous one at the Target near me.

I'm sure it was just a display, but it was running and i did play it.

Dont go near it, someone pointed out the "Consumer reviews" for it...it's a POS

[donkeykong1]

They've been out for a while now and as others have said, they're a POS.

I'm still wondering how the hell you're supposed to have 2 player on the thing. Player 1's D button is almost ontop of Player 2's joystick. Shockingly bad design.

However, apparently the units have a standard Jamma connector in them and a tiny Jamma PCB that's loaded with the romz.

Yeah i figured if i was going to throw triple digits out for something it might as well be the real deal right

If you look hard enough, you can probably find a real Neo-Geo cab (or console) for that much.

[Muscelli]

are you kidding me? I wanna get one now after I saw it.. Whats wrong with it? The joystick and such cheap?

Yeah I had not even though about doing that, but what I really want is a famicon I have yet to pull that off however

Its got a jamma harness in it, so it actually has some good possibilites for some modifications.

If it was me...

Id throw in a 1 slot mvs, make a custom overlay with only controls for 1 player, and put like blazing star in it.

Might do that one day actually, i have a spare 1 slot...
