Hey folks!
I'm thinking of building out a one-player Barcade style build (tabletop) with a trackball and mouse buttons to play point-and-click style mouse games. Think Popcap, mobile phone match-3 games, find the hidden object, etc, and possibly some classic trackball games and some low-button games like Vampire Survivor or One Finger Death Punch.
My biggest hurdle now is really the front end. I want it to be something elegant, easy to use but hard to break (by kids) that can run emulators like MAME, DOS and Android as well as Windows/Steam games.
Any thoughts or any previous builds come to mind?
And because people like pictures, here's a picture of a windows mouse/trackball similar to the one I have in a box.
