Portable Control Panel builds?
« on: February 16, 2014, 11:32:11 am »
I know this has been done, but, I don't know what to search for. Can anyone send me a link to a build, where the control panel and mame pc are integrated together? Where the control panel is a game system that plugs into a tv (via HDMI), and the wall for power?

Not exactly what you are looking for but this is one of my favorite portable builds.

CoryBee used to hang out here and build things but he made lots of monies and now he's too good for the likes of us. He's out there living "life" or something such nonsense.

 :cheers:
Last time I talked to him, he was sexing his way across Europe wearing a white puffy shirt and trying to get laid. Ah, to be young again.

That HAS to be taken directly from his Facebook page.

Mr. Bee : http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,134302.0.html I can't remember who built the one on the first post. PL1 will save the day, no doubt.
Here I come to save the day!
[/Mighty Mouse]   :laugh2:

It's the Bar-Stick, originally designed and built by Degenatrons here.

IIRC, Haruman offers several versions of barsticks in his B/S/T thread.



Tron84 built this one.



Rablack97 made a similar XBox-powered build called the VISION BOX.



If you're really talented, you might even be able to pull off a version of the econ build.   :o

The next thing we need to do is make it wireless
Battery powered tablet or micro PC to chrome cast or the like, and you could take it to anyone's house and set it up in seconds

Welcome back to the real world Corey.
I figured you were just hibernating cause I don't see no bees around here since the temperature has been rarely above freezing most of this long winter. (Dang global warming, where is it when you really need it?)
