Personal all in one arcade project

(1/11) > >>

I'm not sure if it'll happen yet, but I may be making plans to create an all in one gaming system. I intend to be able to play most console games, every MAME game available, and virtually every VPinMAME pinball table ever created. I created a proposal about it, and gave it to my grandma & grandpa to consider. So far, I've been told that my grandma is going to think about it. I am going to show her what I'm talking about and have her write down some questions about my intentions. I will then answer them, and go from there. Stay tuned! The fate of my project will probably be given very soon!

A couple questions:

1.  How old are you?  Are you still in school or do you work?

2.  Why are you proposing the project to your grandparents?  Are you looking to have them fund it?

3.  What is your living situation right now?  Are you still living with your parents, or are you living on your own?  If you are still living with the 'rents, you may want to check with them to make sure they are okay with having a project like this take up space in their house.

First off, I am 29 going on 30. I used to work for a gaming company in town called Melody Music. They rent out arcade room equipment to places like Bars & Restaurants, and I had started a job with them almost 2 years ago, but in April, due to company redesign, and circumstances that I had no control over, I was forced to leave my job. I did not leave on bad terms. My grandma knows people who own a place in town called Spherion. They are a company that helps people find temporary jobs. The company wants me to do some testing on my skills so they can help me find a job of some kind. I am quite talented, and would like to see to it that I get a job where I can showcase my talents.

Secondly, I am proposing this project because 1. I am a gamer. 2. I don't like going to places that have the games I like to play, only to find out that the machine(s) I want to play is/are out of order. 3. I am doing this to preserve my memories of playing video games with my family as a young child. and I have already been told that my grandma is thinking about it. In the meantime, I am in the middle of working on a presentation that will help them understand further what my intentions are once my proposal and/or presentation is approved. I would rather respect their thoughts & opinions on this matter than me do it without their permission. I love my grandparents, and I want them to see that doing such a project can be a good thing. I already have started working on the presentation, and there are a few things that need to be done on the presentation before I can show them what I'm getting at. By the way, I do have Williams Syndrome which means I have a chromosome #7 missing from my DNA.

I do currently live with my grandma & grandpa, and unfortunately, I have no job. However, I live on SSI and pay $300 in rent per month to them. This pays about 1/3 to 1/2 of the total cost of all bills such as Telephone, Internet, water, electricity, etc. I get about $200 a month to spend as I please.

I already have made several measurements for what I intend to build, and I will see to it that this project is started the moment I get the OK.

I'm sure that if you were disabled like I am, you would do your homework on something like this, and I have done a lot of research on this matter.

Unstupid:
Why don't you post some pics/drawings of what you want to build so we can give you input and suggestions. 

SSI at 30.... Cool beans!

I actually am in the middle of looking at some cabs others have designed. If at any point I get the OK, I'll show you some that I really like.
