    Is this real?!?!

    If so, VERY COOL!

    Also, if so; how do you get roms onto your MAME emulator?

    I'm happy to see that everyone is good humored about this! I saw it on ThinkGeek and just *had* to post it just for the pure awesomeness of the idea. :)

    Too bad this is an April Fools Joke or it would be prime front-page material. :D

    (Though as an aside, ThinkGeek has made some of their jokes into real products in the past. If you like the idea enough, tell them! They probably won't be able to provide MAME software, but the cabinet itself could become real...)

    +1. May be a joke but it would make some serious money....
    edit. The ipad need to be elevated so the controls don't cover the screen.

    DAMN. Sorry for making another thread. I just found this thing a few minutes ago after googling around.

    This totally fooled me! I thought it was real. In fact, I wish it was real. I love it! :D

    If we could just get joystick support from Apple I would start building these boxes ASAP. I've made a few custom sticks for SFIV before and this doesn't look any harder. ah man, so NEED this.

    hmmm... off to do some research.
