7 Inch Pac-Man
Mungo9000:
I planned to print my own stickers onto a sheet of adhesive-backed, A4 laser-print gloss.
I'd spent time matching the sticker colour to the cabinet colour and had a perfect match.
Mungo9000:
Every time I added something to the cabinet, it looked more and more like a genuine arcade machine.
Mungo9000:
With the cabinet looking good, it was time to get to work on the GBA.
This is a very delicate soldering job. Be prepared to spend a lot more time on this than you imagine if you want nice and neat soldering.
Mungo9000:
Cut the red wire....
The solder joints are held in place with hot-glue.
Mungo9000:
I was originally inspired to build this after seeing a youtube video of the worlds smallest Space Invaders.
But I think I made one great design innovation over that original.
In the original Space Invaders video, changing cartridges was a big deal and required dismantling the unit.
I realised that if I could figure out how to keep the basic shape of the GBA inside the cabinet, then carts could be swapped out through the base. It seemed like a good idea so I adjusted the design to see if I could make it work.
