Well thought I would toss a thread up here so that I can update occasionally. I have been working for several months already on this and really don't have a whole lot to show for it, LOL.
Started planning everything in March, then ordered a majority of the parts early April, and have been sitting here ever since it seems
Before I get into the details I have to give MAJOR props to ChanceKJ and his
Flynn's Arcade Build. The moment I stumbled upon that build I knew that was the hot setup for me! After documentation like that I really have no questions in regards to build other than the software side of it!! From a quality and cost perspective you would be hard pressed to beat the choices ChanceKJ made in his build

Little walk through video
! Full walk through vidOverall Goodies:
Cabinet build progress:So far I only have the sides ready to go. I had a PVC template made at a local sign shop from
ChanceKJ Arcade sides CAD file. Traced the template onto 3/4" MDF, rough cut em out with a jigsaw, then finished em off with a router. Man that was crazy simple! I hope the rest goes that smooth
Frontend progress:Hyperspin is my frontend of choice right now (only one I've tried to date). So far I'm about 60+ hours into configs, downloads, etc in getting it setup how I would like it (thank God for
Simply Austin on youtube!). Just got my P1 controller mock completed and testing things out with LEDBlinky...so far LEDs are all correct but I'm missing something when it comes to setting up LEDBlinky..more reasearch
Anyway, that's all for now. Keep on building and inspiring!!
