SPUR - Desktop Arcade machines

[tcofran]

Went to SPUR with my son on Friday, and he really loved the new desktop arcade machines they've got there.

what is front end used, and where is the best place to download the Roms ???

Thinking of building my own machine

That should get you started. Just get an old PC, monitor, USB Keypad / Joystick, and maybe DIY a nice cabinet of sorts to house everything.

ROMS are readily available at http://www.freeroms.com/

Hyperspin is also really cool. Started a build xmas last year, still sitting on my harddrive,

I understand these Spur machines are running on Pi's. Nice idea!

Wonder if that would be strictly legal?

Strictly? No.

Who competes with Spur?

 

[SauRoNZA]

Normally people turn a blind eye to these things, but in a commercial space that changes very quickly.

 

[Keeper]

Who competes with Spur?

Uh... every other restaurant in the same area of a spur?

What is this, an explain it like i'm 5 thread?

Spur isn't just a restaurant for people with kids.... it's for people with a taste for life.

I don't get some of you people... McDonald's taste like cardboard, KFC is too oily, Scooters taste like shlt, Debonairs is plastic, Domino's isn't value for money, Steers & Nando's is too expensive, and now, Spur apparently doesn't taste good either.

Where the hell should we eat there is nothing left people!
