Is the xarcade pretty much plug n play for the pc?

[TwinFami]

@skw5032003 Pretty much. The PC detects it as a USB keyboard. Which is also a good way to diagnose it if you have trouble or you need to know which key is what. Just open Notepad and press the buttons to see what keys they are.

You think that's cool? I'm playing that exact same game on my Hacked psp =)

[TwinFami]

@l0chris Final Burn Alpha, right? I am too. The only thing that sucks is not being able to got to the "Home" menu when the game boots up. Unless there is a way around that.

As a side note, I just installed 6.60 PRO-B9 on a brand new PSP-3000. That video should be coming in the next two weeks if you're thinking about upgrading the PSP. It goes on PSN and EVERYTHING!

[TwinFami]

@Qmaster311 To be honest, I don't. But, there are plenty of guides on it and videos on here that show it done.
