xcalibur is right on the dimensions.

The 13" televisions work great, and let me put the back panel in place.

I squeezed a 14" VGA monitor into one, which barely fits, but doesn't allow the back panel to be installed.

Hmm... I'm thinking about getting one for a portable one player CP, but something is bugging me. I don't want to spend the money on the CP if it will only play those 5 games. So I'm thinking about putting a keyboard encoder into it along with the 5-in-1. Quick scetch:

    switch
       |
       ^
     |  |
     [] []
     |  |
     5  K

[]= Diode
5= 5-in-1
K= keyboard encoder

Correct? I think the diodes should stop anything weird from happing.

Mario:

Are these games emulated, i.e., is it the real deal? I'm guessing no based on the screenshots. How well do they play when compared to the real games?

Thanks.


bishmasterb:

They are not arcade perfect by any means, but they are relatively close.

If you're a purist, you'll think they're not close enough. If you're just building a cab for fun, they're good enough and easy to work with.

In any case, before you build, just check them out at Toys 'R Us, they usually have one of them on display that you can try out.

pointdablame:

yeah, they are definitely not emulated.  They are reproductions.  The games are fairly close to original though, and they are more than playable.  And the most important part is that they are still fun to play.
