A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
One other little tweak that isn't really visible in the picture.
The unit is intended to play Pinball games as well, (Visual pinball, and Future Pinball in particular).
I've already got the flipper buttons and a working plunger in place, and I'd considered putting in extra buttons for nudge left/right/front.
But then I came across this little accelerometer
http://www.trossenrobotics.com/store/p/3231-PhidgetSensor-Accelerometer.aspx?feed=Froogle
It's USB and, as far as I can tell, looks like a joystick to the system. My plan is to use one of them, mount it in a removable block, either wood/brass/marble, etc and make it "dockable".
Basically, when Docked, it can detect bumps to the cabinet and "press" the appropriate nudge button.
But, when you pull it from the doc, it becomes a kind of tiltable controller, possibly for games like those tilting table labyrinth games or Marble Madness.
Anyone ever done anything with those accelerometers?
Jetson:
Very interesting...can't wait to see the finished product

Looks exactly like a custom Volkswagen project of mine :)
