^^ as it happens, i just (as of twenty minutes ago) picked up F-Zero-GX >>>>>>>>>>>disk id: DL-DOL-GFZP-EUR [ring/mastercode omitted] and according to the user documentation, the memory card for ngc's work with the coin-op 'F-Zero'AX' cabinet, and i'm curious about triforce.
i'll be seeinga friend later to try my f-zero mc and save on his cabinet. (sega has it's hands in that.)
thanks a lot new registered user, who posted the single comment, i'll look into it.
much appreciated. 
[edit]
typo.
Yeah, the arcade cabinet had a GameCube memory card slot, so you could transfer back and forth between AX and GX. I just downloaded an ISO of AX to see how it plays. Supposedly, this and the first two arcade Mario Karts play perfectly on Wii and Wii U using the homebrew emulator/program called Nintendont. I'll try it out tonight. It says they support memory card saving, so.. Maybe if you played on a GameCube compatible Wii, you could use a memory card with GX data on it. Hmm.
The program also supports ANY USB controller, Wii Remote, classic controller or Wii U Pro Controller (last on only on Wii U of course).
There are also cheat codes to unlock some of the arcade game in the GX GameCube game, but it crashes sometimes that way.
