So, I joined actually a couple of years ago. I haven't been lurking, I just tend to move from one project to another pretty often. And I think I am coming back around to this one. It really is a fun one.
I did build my arcade machine... sort of. I have a really well done console panel, a good joystick, trackball, eight arcade buttons, plus about six more across the top for control functions, and one on each side in case I wanted to do a pinball thing. It is all wired and working, with hdmi and audio out. I just never got around to making a cabinet to put it all in. Still, it is pretty sweet.
I think this time I am going to build a smaller mini-tabletop box. Maybe a 7-inch screen, smaller joystick, and just three or four buttons. We shall see. I have all the buttons and such already, so yeah, let's do it.
