Title: Atari Warlords Custom
Post by: Spawn2k on September 24, 2017, 02:12:19 am
I plan on building a dedicated warlords cocktail cabinet 19". I'm looking for it to have the same look and feel as the original. When I posted on Reddit about warlords on the raspberry pi I was met with a lot of negativity due to how old the build of mame is. Some googling brought me to byoac with 1500points already working on it. What luck! From his posting it looks like it's entirely possible so I'm going to start the build. I was originally going to use some spinners but after some research it looks like i will be using potentiometers. Projected time: 3 months of weekends.

Updated. I will have to see about de-casing the crt so i can center it. Its heavy and my fear is i will drop it on the neck. The off center is really OFF-putting.
