I'd love to see if it's possible to make an all purpose arcade machine out of an old cabinet Ouya, an LED monitor and an X-Arcade stick. ( That's my 2nd mention of the stick today- promise I'm not trying to plug it! )

I'd love the challenge of building something... but if I'm brutally honest with myself I'd probably screw it up. Probably best for me to leave it to the professionals.

I love my Ouya, but it has it's drawbacks. Sometimes I just want to play something, but it's update structure gets in the way. I may not have the fastest download speeds- in an old neighborhood- but the updates take forever and they can't be skipped, regardless of if you want to go online or not. As...

Just my two cents here... Emulation hasn't always been that satisfying for me. There's something to be said for playing something the original way. But that can often be ludicrously expensive. Emulation breaks down that barrier. My Ouya let's me play things I could never afford. Now, if I could only...

I've been thinking of getting an X-Arcade one- one stick, multiple adapters for multiple consoles. If anyone's used one, I'd love to hear some feedback before I take the plunge.

That said, you cannot go wrong with a CMVS. If you are lucky you might be able to find one slotted inside a...

Does anyone have anything positive to say about the Neo Geo X thingummabob or is it all bad, all the time?

Thanks for the replies people, lots to think about.

I appreciate that it's on the expensive side of collecting, hence my looking at the Neo Geo CD too. I guess I want the Neo Geo experience, which means Neo Geo controllers too.

The Neo Geo Gold X thing looked interesting... until I read the reviews.

Apologies if this isn't the right area for this... After playing some Neo Geo games on my Ouya recently, I've fallen pretty hard for the Neo Geo. But I want to do right by her, so I'm looking to get an actual system. I know that the Neo Geo CD is the cheapest entry level way, but if I'm going to spe...
