Crap, your images and video are inaccessible in some gate community.

Looking good.  Can you tell me what joystick and buttons you used, they look nice and neat.

Thx :)

It's a all in one joystick not a real arcade one link
Next step is to change the marquee and to change the joystick to a real one, btw it's a nice joystick i use it since 1 years now, and it's still working ;)

OK thanks, I'm trying to source the smallest off the shelf joystick and buttons as I can for my project.  I'll let you know what I decide on as they might suit you.  £14.99 seems like a good price for your 8 button USB stick, you could keep it and plug it in for player 2 when you replace it with real arcade buttons.

The pb is that the joystick is now fixed to the wood and the control panel, the only thing i can remove and replace easily in this bartop is the control panel and the marquee, the screw of the other part of the bartop are hidden :D
