Homemade Arcade Cabinet for Hyperspin (by Stinow)

[stinow]

I would love one if you could find it in your heart to either upload it to the garden or post it on a usb.

Hi HT, I'd rather not share it instantly on the web (since it has been about 40+ hours that has easily gone into this and a lot more to come). But I'd be happy to send you it on a stick when it's done!

I will take you up on that offer for sure.

Amazing cabinet - just read the whole thread and you did a fantastic job - I wish I had the tools and craftsmanship to do something like that

One question though: how are the hyperspin analog sticks compared to microswitched real arcade sticks ?

I do have a cabinet at home that I converted to run MAME (and more), currently from an original XBOX - the picture is exactly like on my other arcade cabinet that is running a real Bubble Bobble board (currently), so I am quite happy with that ... I'd still like to replace the XBOX with a PC one day to play also more recent games, and an analog stick would come in handy then - however I am not sure if I might "loose" the original feel of the microswitched arcade controls then ? what do you think - happy with the hyperspin stick ?

Someone have a project to build a mini PCarcade, like this picture, but a little small than that :

Thanks for the nice picture, GamePlayerSpecial.

My friend and me have been thinking about a similiar follow-up on my cabinet project.
Actually, two possible follow-ups. One being a mini cabinet, but not mini as in the one on the picture, but truly mini .

The alternative we're negociating about is a full size TRON cabinet, with some amazing artwork idea's (glowing wheels etc).

As for the question about the u360 sticks Marvin, I think they do differ quite a lot indeed, depending on how you use them. When using them as analogue sticks, you won't feel any 'clicks' or sudden resistance. The resistance on the sticks are kind of continuously. When using them purely digital, and with the constraining plates on them (co-supplied when you order them), it will feel a lot more like the regular sticks we know.

I got used to the u360 very quickly and it's so easy to be able to use them also as analogue snes joystick (etc.).



Hope this helps anything. If you are from Holland, you're free to come by and try 'em .

The finalisation of the sub-project of creating a ready-to-go usb-disk is almost complete.
At about 90-95 percent complete at this moment. Not sure if it will be 100% portable, or I might have to add some 'requirements' like mounting the drive on a particular letter.

When it's done (in two weeks?) I will clean up the cabinet, use the software from the stick and reconfigure the buttons. Then I will do some final (perhaps) long work on the lighting of the buttons at the correct speed and then the cabinet be done.

I'll upload a new video then which will also be some sort of review. It will be way more playable then it is now (as far as different games and consoles go) and also -every single game- will have an image and intro video playing.

So far for the update, fall and winter in sight, so planning to be more active again by then
