Thanks! That means a lot coming from the top RU player.

That is why I got it. I got tired of playing arcade games in MAME with keyboard and game pads. I just needed that authentic feeling.

Yup, it is the same. I was originally going to just get the single player model, but my kid wanted to play some of the classics 2 players so it made sense to get the dual one. Also when we have people over they always want to try it and play classic 2-player games. That drives my wife nuts though.

Cool! When you do let us know how it goes and post some pics. I had thought about doing that too but in the end I just didn't have enough time for such a project.
