yeah thanks for the advice guys i think ill go with a pc, the most i have to spend right now is $200 so an xbox mame would cost me laods more probably. Maybe after i finish this mame ill go with an xbox mame if i have the cash.

This new keyboard and mouse adaptor for Xbox has been getting very good reviews. http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3503 They say the mouse will work with all gmes. Who knows if it will work with Xbox MAME emulator however.

Sorry.

Softmod: twenty dollars.

Adding emulators and ROMs:free/cost of a crossover cable.

upgrading hard drive: cost of hard drive.

You don't end up paying any more than you would for a PC, and you can rig it up to read them off of DVDs to save hard drive space(admittedly not too easy a task.).

It's kinda funny, about when this thread got started a guy at work gave me his xbox to put Linux, Xbox media center, and some emulators on. Too bad I'll have to get it back

You would cut it real close with $200.
