Looks cool. I made a jakks pacman mini bartop not to long ago. Here is the post if you want to check it out  http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=75237.msg782844#msg782844  , maybe it will give you some ideas. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Briktop, Good work man!

Is it playable for an adult?

It looks quite deep, is it on purpose?

If you had to do it again, what would you change?






No update on the 2p ghetto bartop yet, my shop has been flooded by an upstairs toilet, greaaat! Thank you neighbour!

Beware, this thread might smell a little. :'(

It is very playable. It is the plug and play with four different pacman games. The joystick doesnt feel authentic but i really wanted to keep the pacman stick. It has the perfect viewing angle when on a bartop. I didnt think it was that deep. I probably could have made it about 2 inches less deep but i didnt want to risk not fitting everything inside. I think it is the perfect size for a submini and i would not go any smaller with the screen size (its about 5 inches). I did this fast and on the cheap. If i did it again i would route the edges for the t-molding instead of adhesive tape, i would also order the artwork from mamemarquees instead of printing my own on plain sticky back paper, its not durable enough. I have it so that when its pluged in it comes on. I would like to somehow wire a switch to the back side for an on off switch. Maybe later. Thanks for the comments. Good luck with the flood.

Back to the topic.

A rough sketchup model, I will now make a cardboard version to see if everything fits.
The cp width is 60 cm/23.6" in and the total height is 70cm/27.6"

Same here. I built the Widowmaker using a very similar design.
