Title: Mini Arcade/TV
Post by: franchy36 on January 16, 2013, 02:32:51 am

Portable battery operated mini arcade based on a TV game controller. You can either play arcade games or just watch TV.

Separate power buttons for the TV and the game allows you to use the composite connections to plug in other devices to the TV or project the game to a bigger screen.

Comes with Wall charger, car charger, remote to change channels, volume etc and the antenna is removable.

Thanks.
Do you mean like a video? it plays exactly the same as the TV game, I did not modify the game PCB at all; you power it on, takes 4 sec to boot and you have a game selection screen with the 10 games that comes with, very simple.
My next one will feature 2 or 3 PCB's and a selection switch, I just got to workout the battery pack so one will power them all, and also it would be nice if the TV charger would also charge the game battery pack I think I can do that as long as it fits inside my case.
 I want to go 1 inch smaller, I will see if I can find the same wood self at 5/8" instead of 3/4"

Welcome to the forum!
Your project looks real good. I may copy it for some of my neighbors grandkids.
Two young boys that stop by whenever Im outside working on my latest project, "A Little Rage", very interested in the arcade cabinet. A project like this could be a very nice present just to encourage their interest in our hobby.

Can you post more build pics on here? (It just makes it easier on us old folks LOL)
I checked out your link, and it has a lot of pics.
