Thread: Howdy Y'all, Newbie w/ a Shelby Cobra

Well good luck with everything, and I have a few suggestions.

First, forget the PS2. You can get emulators for PC's for the PS2 and everything to atari's pong and inbetween. SNES being my favourite.

Then you can get USB controlled gamepads, or just hack one yourself, so it feels and looks like a PS2, N64, PS1, SNES, NES, anything. Not so sure about xbox though... I havent looked into that really. And for the PS2 emulation, no via boards obviously, but for the cost difference of the PS2 you can upgrade what you would have spent on the motherboard to one that can handle it for the same price with more functionality.

And you definately want a touchscreen. And the transflective are all TS anyways. But it comes in mighty handy when going between screens, and it has the "bling" factor with it. Of course you can have multiple pointer devices on 1 system. So you can have a touchscreen, and build in touchpads to the centre console, and have a scroll wheel, or joystick or something all working in tandem.

How far along are you with the cobra?

...you would have a computer in your car dude, they've been able to play back dvd's long before ps2 was even a thought. Besides, you can store movies on your hard drive...

What kind of phone do you have, because most can be used to have your carputer access the internet... I think that this is what you ment by "wireless"

idk... I guess laptops aren't a bad way to go, I've just always prefered having a pc built in, always felt I had more room to play

or a internal drive.... it all depends on where you mount the pc...

most of us have the pc somewhere in the trunk area... so we use USB DVD drives in the dash
