Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'

Good choice on the 16:10.
Shows individual game info and controls. Had to knock together an app to get it all working - so all info managed via this. A bit of a rough video, as the whole setup is still WIP, but this gives you an idea of it in action:

That's pretty neat. Does it pull all that info automatically, or do you need to create a profile for each game?
I think if I were to add another screen I think it'd be a widescreen for the marquee... Maybe one day..
stigzler:
I couldn't find a pre-existing db for game controls - so yeah, you have to build a profile for each game. However, only takes a minute once you have the systems and controllers setup.
It also handles marquee displays too if you ever do that in the future. I've added an LCD marquee display to my OND build if you're seriously thinking about it and needing any advice.

I would be seriously interested but figured the cost might be prohibitive to find a suitable LCD... What did it set you back?
vaderag:
Just making up now. Other than widening the only real change I'm making is I think I'm going to hinge the whole front panel as bo coin door, and use it as a rack/cupboard for some extra controllers
