Awesome!
I've got a 2.5" screen that would be perfect for a micro cab project. It has RCA inputs for video and mono sound. You could probably run everything off the same power supply. Searching on eBay, you can probably get one for around $35-$45. I think they're intended for rearview cameras in cars.
I might get the one with Golden Axe and do a themed micro cabinet. The whole project could reasonably be done for less than $100.
Edit: Found Golden Axe bezel artwork (or whatever it's called) and marquee here: http://maws.mameworld.info/minimaws/set/goldnaxe I just ordered the VF2 keychain and I'm totally going for it. I'll post a tutorial with pics when I get to working on this.

Didn't Virtua Racing require the 32X 3D expansion unit?

naa there was a genesis version. But it needed a special CHip built into the cartrige itself, Making the game bigger then most genesis games, and also unplayable on clone systems or flash carts. So not being able to play VR racing is kinda a given.

It's do-able, but I have a few other projects that are ahead in the queue
But Vigo, if I do get to it, I surely won't be lending it to any of your friends >:D

:laugh2: I don't blame you in the least for that. If you do cross paths with any of my friends, you might just want to cover all you video game stuff in plastic, just in case....

I received mine today and I've been experimenting with different options on a micro cab. I'm not sure I'm up for doing a step by step tutorial on this since I'm spending most of my time exploring potential and taking a picture ever step of the way won't be productive or useful. Maybe if I get it right and decide to do a second cab.
At any rate, I noticed there is an X button on the thing and don't see a single game that uses it. Early Genesis games were 3-button which I think all of these are, and new ones were 6-button. Granted there could be a game for the 6-button controller that only used 4 buttons, but I don't think that's the case at least with the games in my unit. I didn't actually read the instructions to see if it mentions anything about X, but I'm pretty sure it can be eliminated if you make a micro-cab and do a custom CP.
I won't take over this thread with my build, so when I have something to show I will probably put it in a new project thread.
EDIT: After a lot of searching and not much info about these online, I did run across some pages mentioning these for sale at Walgreens. I haven't verified, but I'll make a trip to mine tomorrow to check it out and maybe grab the Sonic one.
