I'm not sure if replacing everything except for the wooden box counts as a 'mod.'
true, but this is basically an entry level machine, so people can barely figure
out how to replace the sticks and buttons.
this is the next step.
at this point, people will either decide to buy/build their own blank cabinet,
and take the next step from their to full featured or larger size ones.
i'm interested, (but not with a pi, but a pc), because it saves me a lot of steps
that i can't do otherwise, and although it might not be much cheaper,
its a lot less hassles.
obviously, to people on this board, it will be trivial.

this is in a way a good thing for the community i think, because it is bringing retro and classic gaming
back into the public view, in a much better way than - micro, mini, and toy consoles. they all
have their place with budget gamers.
this is cashing on the sentimental and nostalgia factor, but i do see a lot of questions, and possibilities of
people looking into better alternatives, building their own cabinets, buying used ones, and figuring out
different price points they are comfortable with.
i live in a house, so i have tons of space for arcade machines (i own 1 standup already), but i have no
desire for anymore. i would rather have some mini ones, with a few select games on them.
this possibility allows for that, although the recroommasters 3/4 cabinet is also a better possibility,
but with less features, as you have to supply more to get it up and running.
i look forward to seeing future enhancements that people do.
later
