THE ARCADE SHOP at GAMEROOM DESIGNS - Arcade Systems, Kits, Parts & Accessories

I might have to spend some time in Sketchup today and design one that encorperates my light pipe, P1 controls, and can house a NUC with power supply. It would have under glow, external plugins for HDMI, audio and Power. Hmmmmmm

Well, it's got a bit of space available, if you can swing it. The sides are almost completely clear, and my fit only had the mini-emulator, joystick and buttons to contend with. (Forgive the messy wiring job - the cables were 'ready made' and came with the emulator. I haven't completed the joystick wiring yet either, as I've got some soldering to do - it's in a 'ready to show' state, but not quite ready to play.)

Damn it Rick!

I do seem to have that effect on people.

[mike boss]

Looking fantastic Rick!

[ChanceKJ]

Wait...

What mini emulator is that?

[Rick]

Wait...

What mini emulator is that?

I believe it is a "Xin Mo", but it doesn't have any identifying marks.

[yotsuya]

I think Ricardo is using the wrong terminology. It's not an "emulator", it's an "encoder". Eh.

I believe you are correct.

Haha, that made my brain run wild for a minute trying to think of a way to build a Mini PCB that could run MAME and had a basic video out signal.  Something the size of the Kade, boots to MAME, runs off 5v, and has a mini SD card and pins for a VGA or Comp out.

My Wife asked me tonight if my 19-in-1 / 60-in-1 boards would fit. I told her they wouldn't fit in this model, but in the next one they will!

[ChanceKJ]

Brilliant woman that one, Good job Rick. 

[Malenko]

well you guys just spoiled a project I was workin on

With respect to the amazing compliments I've received on the Fight Stick, it's really a pretty simple design - in essence, it's a box with some holes. We're really only talking about a slightly bigger box with some holes.

not that, I meant a 60 in 1 inside a "fightstick" , or basically a giant wooden Jakks but with an iCade board lol.

So, exactly that, then.



Besides, I'm thinking a bit 'bigger' than just a simple ##-in-1. Sure, that's the model, but the execution of the flagship product may be so much sweeter.

 

[ChanceKJ]

What, like this?

[yotsuya]

That's a painful looking button arch.

[ChanceKJ]

It's exactly the same one that's on my cab. Sorry, it's a bit crooked, I'm new, I used the CAD from my Flynn's files cause I'm lazy.

Price list? Do we need to phone in orders as well?

Wait, I just looked at the price list. There's no prices for bartop kits.

[Rick]

Wait, I just looked at the price list. There's no prices for bartop kits.

This is true, but they are there.

My new CNC shop is currently setting up to handle my designs, and has to provide me with quotes on how much it's going to cost me going forward. (I have to provide them every... single... part... in a multi-layered DXF file now, which means working with every part to create the new format. Ugh. So much work.) As such, I cannot provide pricing at this time, but I am optimistic it will be in the ballpark with my original pricing.

If not... ...then, the creation of bartops will be pushed out to Q1/2 of 2015. I hope this is not the case.

[ChanceKJ]

Where's my price for a full size DK shipped to YYC?

Thanks for the info. Good luck!

[yotsuya]

Oh, and are your prices in Loonies or US dollars?

Thank you!

That is 100% Canadian dollar, my friend. And if you look around, I believe I beat the prices of most of my competition for parts, even when at par!

   you didn't answer my question, you just read it, quoted it, and moved on. Hahah

CRAP, sorry. It's on the list of cabs I'm getting quoted.

You could try a Raspberry PI, it runs MAME, uses a mini SD card and has HDMI or composite video

Why, oh why, does nobody want my money? Here's a direct reply to my request for more information from the latest local CNC Shop:

"You would be better off finding a place with a large CNC router.  That would be more set up for what you require."

Probably because they see you as small potatoes. If you put in an order for 1000 cabs at a time, they'd be happy to take your money.

I had a similar problem with finding someone local to cnc my side panels and CP top on my FLYNNS build. It was incredible. I finally found some guy who had access to one who works with a company out of town. So I paid a bit of a middle man price. But oh well.

I seriously just want my own. I wish I had the space.

Imagine if there was a place that you paid a membership to that gave you access to CNC's, 3D Printers, engravers, laser cutters, embroidery machines, etc and they had some basic staff that were trained on them. Hmmm

Places like that exist.

[ChanceKJ]

Yeah... But not in Alberta.

[VoltaTom]

Google "hacker space" or "maker space". They are everywhere and exactly what you are describing. I did a quick search and found one in Calgary.

[ChanceKJ]

Sweet merciful crap! That place is like 5 minutes from my office!

Strange, why didn't I see this before when I went looking. I'm gonna have to check them out!  Thanks.

There's like three or four Makerspaces in my area - and none of them have a CNC bigger than a desktop unit. Gotta love it.

I don't understand why any of them don't make building a larger one a priority? Just a few stepper motors and a rail system.

How hard can it be??
