A Light Up X-Arcade XXL Machine

21. January 2009

One of our users, Lane, demonstrated his arcade machine using the X-Arcade XXL. The machine comes chalked up with many additional features which he describes here:

“I am using a Playstation 2 (not using MAME) - and using all the games as provided by you guys. I just have a hard disk added (with HD loader) which allows you to place all the games on the hard disk with a front end menu. The result is you don’t have to swap CDs/DVDs and the load times are WAY faster. The fat (older) Playstation 2 allowed you to add a hard drive inside the unit (fully enclosed) by just adding the network adapter. Sony eliminated this capability with the newer slimline units for fear of piracy… most unfortunate.

“The coin slot is also lit and has a new background I made that says ‘Lanes Arcade’ and has a small pic of a space invader on it. Again it also functions as the on/off or reset switch as I ran a wire out the back of the PS2 with a little 1/8 female headphone jack, if you want a remote switch, just plug it in.

“There is camera flash lighting in this pic so the glowing of the controls is somewhat diminished in this shot, but they are way cool.”
