Although I can't find much information on it. A company by the name of Jazwares (they make capcom action figures) Is bringing out a table top Neo Geo emulator, much like those table top cabs at laundromats. Pics of it can be seen here

Not to sure of the crappy Aussie layout though :shame:

Taken from millionaireplayboy.com

I really dug their new table-top arcade machine. Costing a fraction of what it would to put a full-blown arcade cabinet in your home, put this on a bar or table, and you'll be wishing for your stack of quarters (but not need 'em of course). The first unit ships with NEO-GEO, other sets are planned for later this year.

Not sure about this one... it might be a way to own teh romz legitimately. Take a look at this image/screenshot of it:

http://www.snk-capcom.com/gallery/album10/PICT0073

That front end they have there looks VERY much like a mamewah skin which is a front end for mame and other emulators on the PC. If that is what this is it will be pretty interesting.

EDIT:
Also look at how the information is presented and the fact the way the games are named in the list (Samurai Showdown/Samurai Spirits for example) make me think that they are both using Mame and Mamewah there... LOLZ. :loco:

I wonder what they mean by "costing a fracting of what the real thing would" becasue everytime I see that type of cabinet up it is >$500... more than what a small cab and MVS board would cost me.

Unless it is <$300 and I can upload all the romz I want (SNK + CPS) I do not really see the utility of it.

WEll, I like the idea of this small unit for the home. My only concern is the price.

It's cute for a minute.5 but after that, I start thinking of what it would play like next to your buddy. I would imagine things would look mighty faggot.

What size screen would you all think that to be?

I'm sure Chris1 has quite a few table top machines and someone suggested building a Neo one based around a 1-Slot.....

Shame its Emu.....

I'd buy one for the right price...though I'm not "crazy" about the way it looks and Im not into EMU..
I would love to have some type of countertop-tabletop "MVS" machine..
I'm very much into table top machines..

Ngt has a current 1-Slot countertop-tabletop MVS machine project in the works.. :buttrock:

I'm pretty certain that the BYOAC community can share plans for a tabletop... :)

Yup yup, if you want a mame cabinet just build it, lower cost and it can be how you want it to be... I will be interested to see if SNKP is going to try and sell these or not, will be a bit funny if they do.
