Mini Mortal Kombat - 20th Anniversary (Finished with video)
Slippyblade:
This is so cool! Sorry to derail the thread but where do you mini-builders get such tiny buttons and joysticks? I've seen a few mini-builds around and LOVE em, but have zero clue about getting those parts.
Mungo9000:
The most common joystick for these little minis is the Grayhill 04A series

The buttons are simple miniature "push-to-make" buttons you can get from anywhere, I buy mine from Amazon.
This is the exact button I used on this project
Video screens range from 2.5 inch to 7 inches and are amazingly cheap considering what you get. You can find links to the video-screen and the T-moulding further up in the thread.
Nestafari:
Nice job !
Slippyblade:
Wow, am I reading that right and you paid 3.41 pounds per button? Ouch. Either way, I think I've found a new project. I've got one of those 5 in 1 atari plug and play things. My daughter loves it. It's about to become a baby-cab.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I just noticed that Adafruit is now carrying a number of small TVs. Not sure if the prices compare with dismantling a car camera display, but at least you know exactly what the LCD panel and the PCB look like, including dimensions.
Very nice cabinet and the small "T-molding" is an excellent idea!
edit: I've been browsing that website where you bought your small monitor, and I found this gem. It's a 5.6", non-widescreen, 640x480 display with a VGA input. Some might say that 640x480 isn't enough, but it's still twice the 320x240 of older arcade games. Being a perfect multiplier of 320x200 means a perfect picture and a regular resolution for computers means it's less trouble to configure too. If 5.6" is too small, there's bigger monitors on that website with a VGA input.
