Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I posted here, but I would like to share this project of mine with you.  I converted a Virtual Boy into an arcade cabinet inspired after Atari's Battlezone.

Very cool project.

 The only thing Id suggest, is if the VB has a typical speaker(s), disconnect them, add an amp w/ volume control, install decent sized speakers and a subwoofer in the cabinet.  That will surely make the sound a lot less 'tinny'.

 You could install 2 speakers in the marquee area, pointing downwards..  and the sub in the base section of the cab.  If theres still a lack of full-ness, could put more speakers in the base as well.

 Could also hook the audio up to an EQ & or effect setup for fine tuning the output to a very sweet and full sound.
