Hello-
I wanted to share photos of my completed arcade project, with an unusual design:
Goal: A two-player arcade and classic console machine that is "furniture-like", minimalistic and transportable, yet fully-functional.
Features:
- Clean, "non-arcade" look that the wife doesn't object to in the house
- All "guts" hidden in control panel (Uses a tiny Intel NUC computer)
- Speakers included in flat-panel monitor
- All wires hidden
- Easily transportable
- Single-tool (wrench) used to remove and re-attach table legs; all other pieces need no tools
- Four hand-inserted wooden dowels hold control panel to table
- Can disassemble and re-assemble in under 10 minutes
- Pieces fit in car
- Native controls for all games:
- Arcade RGB buttons, 8- and 4-way sticks, trackball, spinner)
- Original Atari 2600 joysticks
- Buffalo USB controller for SNES and NES
- Operable by kids (Hyperspin, real power button)
- Nostalgic lighted "coin" buttons which add credits
It's been a hit at home and at parties at friends' houses!
