I appreciate the kind words.  Feels good to get this (mostly) finished up!

Arroyo:
---gosh-darn--- that looks good buddy.  I’d say it came out just like the render!



Finish off that duster and the ServoStick and you are done!

It's been a while but I am finally calling this cabinet complete. I ended up deleting all MAME/arcade games from this thing - they just aren't that fun in this form factor and I have a ton of other ways to play those games. So I decided to repurpose this into a console emulator and it's a ton of fun now.

I installed Batocera on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and am able to play NES, SNES, GBC, Atari 2600, Sega Genesis and PSX games.

I'm constantly tinkering with the game lists and just recently I started messing around with rom hacking and have been a little obsessed. 99% of the fan-made games look terrible so I have not installed any of those but there are so many "improvement hacks" that are fantastic. Existing games get modified to rebalance something like reducing the XP grind in an RPG, fix slowdown, add the ability to save, etc. My favorite rom hacks are the "DX" versions of Game Boy games. Just adding color to those old games makes them so much more playable.

Just trying to keep myself busy until the warm weather gets here and I can work in the garage again...
