Here's is some updated summary information about my "Project X Arcade" as of 10/5/2024.

I didn't build exactly from specific plans, but had inspiration from multiple sources. The base measurements and closest thing to plans (along with some good tutorials) came from an old site here (https://www.arcadecab.com/), and from pictures of a project called Neon MAME by someone named Knievel, which mainly inspired the circular side cutouts and curved angles in the side panels.

Once I started though, I began to make a lot of customizations. I kept a detailed blog at the time, but the blog has been down for a while. I do have a pdf backup of it though which you should be able to download here which contains a lot of information about what I changed and lessons learned

I also made a video of the bezel assembly here:



Since the blog, I've made a number of further enhancements, including the addition of a marquee monitor topper and Stream Deck to provide the option of instant push-button game selection, which are controlled by my own software available here

with videos of their operation here:

The most recent addition is a GRS Super Rotary joystick, Ikari Warriors edition a few months ago. Here's how the machine looks today.
