Not that original, people have been using the dreamcast in MAME cabinets for years. I've had mine for a couple years and it wasn't a new thing when I did it.

Same here. Offered to do it last year @ Maker Faire in Austin. Guy really is doing double duty, as per the Dreamcast can run MAME on its own...no real need to have the PC, unless speed's an issue.
