If someone ever makes a good discrete/analog game emulator, it would be so cool to build a cabinet like one of these for it. |
| paigeoliver:
Most of the discrete games are so incredibly simple that anyone with functional graphical programming skills could copy them if they could spend a little bit of time with a working unit in order to get all the details. |

In theory, yes, but getting the exact timing done perfectly would be a biiiiiiiiiiiiitch as those discrete components don't act perfectly within their specs. They vary quite a bit amongst themselves within their range and then can vary by age. That's why you can get Pong machines with identical PCBs that act "differently" within the game. A lot of emulation depends on the strong timing of a CPU based architecture and that isn't there in those boards. It was mentioned above, too, that a lot of those panels are brushed aluminum. Stainless steel is very expensive and heavy. |
