Thank you for the interest!
Actual small arcade is a rough than the video
, but I got much fun working with it!

Miniature Joystick is hand made. Actually it is a cap for gamecube joypad.
Red balls I bought from craft shop (assorted red beads which I selected
only sphere beads others I gave to my daughter
), and the shaft is 4mm diameter aluminum pipe.
Made a hole(around 5mm deep) to the beads and fixed with glue.
For the gamecube choice,
Yes, it is cost choice and also because I had one
, and normally I use Wii for cube games,
so I can dedicate it to this project.
It is modified to run US games, and got Midway arcade from import shop.
Right now the used gamecubes are very cheap(around 15dollars here in tokyo), so if someone interested
can try easily.
The size is decided from the LCD monitor( 7inch ) I bought from shop around 20dollars.
The quality is not so spectacular, but the lcd is TFT, so quick enough and no blurs.
Just before this, I made 5inch screen (from same shop but it was junk STNT around 3dollars!!)
test version with cardboard but the quality was very bad
.
But I got many insight making cardboard version, so it was really nice!
By the way it is off topic, today is the opening of the PAC-MAN exhibition in tokyo( sorry only japanese )
http://pacman.com/ja/exhibition/index.htmlThey show the 1-sixth mockup used deciding actual upright design at that time.
Please enjoy the photo!
