Ok i just recentally started learning about people making cabinets and what not and i have always been interested in arcades and so i have been making sketches of one that im wanting to make for my girlfriend it is going to be a miniature one about half the size of the regular size ones but i dont have enough money to buy a new pc at the moment so im just going to put a n64 in it and make it a mario kart themed cabinet so my questions are do the buttons and joysticks take any power? if so will the n64 have enough power to still be able to run also has anyone ever made a control panel for a n64 if so how did you wire up the analog and d-pad i dont have a n64 atm so im not really sure im assuming there is just a solder point to solder to and then solder to the joystick and for the d-pad what should i do should i wire a joystick up to it or wire a seperate button up for each one last question im wanting to put 2 5" speakers in it how would i wire that up would i wire them to the tv or to the n64 im guessing the tv would be easier since i would have to have an amp for the n64 thanks |

What you want to do will cost more money than a PC based cabinet. A $20 Pentium 2 computer is enough for mame. As far as I know there is still no analog arcade joystick that works with the N64. |

Can you give me a link to somewhere that sells one for $20 also i doubt that you can get a whole computer with monitor speakers keyboard and mouse for $20 |

also im not wanting to run mame im wanting to be able to play n64 games and i've tried lots of different n64 emulators and none of them have worked very good |

Computers and monitors are sold SEPARATELY. Look on ebay, pentium 2 computers sell for NOTHING. Plenty of 400 mhz pentium 2 systems in completed auctions that didn't even sell AT ALL with $10 opening bids. What I normally do is sort the auctions by location first so I can find a local one and just go pick it up. I have bought at least a dozen PCs that way. Also, used monitors are equally worthless and equally easy to find. |
