Finished this up a couple of days ago but just got around to getting some semi decent pics done.
Had to reinstall Windows but then it was plain sailing. Attract mode frontend launches a batch file which uses infranview to display the marquee on the second monitor before running AAE. All the games on the list are playable using the controls (had to setup Joy2key because AAE requires a keyboard and the cheapy encoder I'm using acts as a joystick).
Total cost - about £90 but I had a lot of stuff laying around. I think if I had to buy everything then it would have made it around £150-£200.
And a video of it running
A fun build overall. Definitely easier than building a full size cabinet but still has some challenges.
And Happy New Year everyone
