A lack of time and money have put this project on stand-by. But the LCD prototype for the mini-marquee is still on my desk. ;)

nice to see someone working on some avr stuff for use in arcade projects. friend of mine sent me some avr dev stuff and I've been slowly tinkering with a few things when time permits.
Could have also used the avr to control your joystick and buttons, making it into a generic usb stick using the LUFA library. That's sort of what i'm tinkering with right now. :)

AFAIK I'm not using an USB-enabled AVR, not to mention that I already have an interface for the buttons and joysticks.
And since the cabinet is going to run either Linux+MAME or FreeDOS+MAME, USB may not be an option depending on my choice.
One thing that I remember on my to-do list is to replace the level shifter on the back of the LCD for a faster one or just bypass it, as it is right now I have to slow down the output or else the LCD doesn't receive the data.

yeah, saw your mini pac shortly after my original post. Just as small and useful. :)
I also have a box full of minimus avr dev units here so I've been slowly learning and tinkering around with the LUFA libraries; Quite fun. Jamie Lentin did manage to finish a usb arcade stick using the minimus32

Unfortunately, using his diffs on a standard minimus with 16kb doesn't give me the same effect. Pretty sure there are some other changes between the two besides the memory size. Just need to take some more time to tinker and read up on some docs, I'm quite the AVR n00b.
Anyway, you project is going by great. Your Neo Geo project and that of Unstupid are by far my two favorite projects on this site. Hoping one day i can make something as nice as what you guys have. :)

Back from the grave. What ever happened with this? Good news I hope?
