You can put Mame on Xbox. But, any MK game newer then MK1 runs below its normal frame rate. The MK4 arcade rom is not playable in any emulator right now, and I believe there is no internet play for Mame on the xbox either.

But I do believe mame on the XBox is good for CPS2 games like Alpha3, MvC, etc.

As far as the controller, I highly doubt he did that to an xbox controller. Aren't all the buttons pressure sensitive like the PS2 controller? If so the pressure sensing mechanism would be a royal pain in the butt to wire up to arcade controls. A Dreamcast controller, or PSX controller would be very easy to do. I did that with 2 PSX controllers. I gutted the and soldered connections from the gamepad contacts to the prongs on arcade sticks and buttons purchased from happ controls and mounted it to a board. It is easy to do if you get a cheap PSX (or DC) controller because the cheap ones usually have very large areas to solder on to.

Overall though, that dude had probably heard some stuff from someone else, didn't understand it, and started to let his mind expand on it a bit to impress someone.

It is definitely possible to get mame on the xbox. The MK games run pretty good with the exception of UMK3 that doesn't run poorly, but it doesn't run at full speed. Still totally playable.

As dreemer said, you can't play online. There is a feature that would leave one to believe it could be taken online but so far the way hasn't been found.

i had a feelin he was bullshittin anyways.

i honestly didnt even think you could mame up an xbox but then again i aint got one.
