i have read a few places about the gamepad killing it but i think the overall hardware / games killed it as it never really had many great games does anyone know any info on a "Cubo CD32" it is a cd32 arcade machine i think it was made by an italian company which i don't know their name?? it used some sort of card to allow it to be used as an arcade machine.
The company was CD Express, more information here. http://ninjaw.ifrance.com/cd32/cubo/ Attaching a CD32 to an arcade cabinet isn't that difficult, most cabs of that era used NTSC compatible monitors & the inputs are comparible to the way that joysticks worked back then. You could probably knock something up similar and run the games on a standard CD32. The CD's claim that the games will only work on a cubo cd32, so there might be an internal modification or it might just have a way of detecting that their card is plugged in. Probably nothing difficult to work round though. When it's emulated by MAME then more info will be available. smf
