Title: Cabinet multi-consoles : "ULTIMATE-CONSOLE-STATION"
Post by: pat47200 on November 06, 2008, 08:09:41 am

Hello men.

I' almost finished carrying out my 3rd terminal d' arcade.

This one was carried out with the panel of Italian cabinet EURO40 and the piece of furniture of l' EURO-MEGALO. This arcade's cabinet will allow me when it is completely finished playing with on the whole 3 game consoles of my choice.

For the moment only the dreamcast is to connect disappointed. I show you the photographs of the terminal before and after l' to have to repair:

Great job! 

As much as I like current online gaming...there is nothing and I mean nothing like standing/sitting at a 2 player arcade game with a buddy.

Very neat build, but I would take out that plastic screen and replace it with smoked glass.  Maybe it is really clear in real life and just photographs bad but it looks alittle blurry.

looks like a wiring nightmare. Why didnt you hide the controller hacks behind the scenes and just have the consoles out front? I mean it looks neat seeing the PCBs of the controllers but you have wires criss-crosing all over the place.

I'm pretty sure that is no ordinary screen, but in fact a Fresnel lens . They use them in projection and such. You might remember them from the "gameboy screen magnifiers". Basically makes it look like you have a big TV when you don't.

That is some serious wiring there.
