Title: my shabby "arcade"
Post by: slasherman on March 15, 2018, 10:09:17 pm

I have been off the arcade stuff for some years now, this is what I made that has not been used for about 4 years  ;D

Atleast there is an Magstick plus in there so I can play 4 way and 8 way. And I can choose between vertical and horizontal.

A standalone stick doesn't have to be pretty, just has to work. Looks like it works to me.

Also, anyone remember when Happ buttons were a dollar and came with real cherry switches?

Ha ha I think I did it drunk with a handsaw and hand-drill. But next gonna be a little nicer, but functionality will always trump design in my book. I would never make a "cabinet" without switchable 4-8 way joystick, and easy switchable vertical and horizontal monitor solution...too much of that in my view
