Title: VIDEO - 30cm ARCADE MACHINE CREATION with a MS. PAC-MAN Plug & Play TV device
Post by: txemaster on January 09, 2015, 06:38:22 pm
Hello. I created some arcade machines. The last machine is a mini arcade machine (30 cm tall) with 5" display. Here is the link to my youtube bricolage program:

Looks cool.

Definately the longest subject header I've seen tho. Had to flip my phone sideways to read it all  :)

More detail would be good tho...(without having to watch a video)

Looks like one of these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fold-4-3-LCD-Display-Monitor-Car-Reverse-Rear-View-Backup-Camera-Black-US-/161292837672?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258dcd6328), if the 5" figure includes the bezel.  Pretty cheap nowadays.

I need to find some of those with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Fun build!

IF you can fit a slightly larger screen they have some 7" screens that have either 16:9 or 4:3 mode that is switchable but you waste some real estate when using the 4:3 setting.

I used a similar one on my Mini Galaxian build ( http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,139689.msg1444799.html#msg1444799 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,139689.msg1444799.html#msg1444799) )

Or to get a computer and screen you can pick of one of these (http://www.microcenter.com/product/439773/TW700_Tablet_-_Black) for $60, which is what I did on impulse and am planning a mini build around it.  I have not tried newer games or other emulaters but it runs classic MAME games fine and MaLa seems to do OK as long as it's not to complicated.

Back to the topic, that is a pretty cool little setup, hope mine turns out as nice.
