My first build

[kelvos]

Hello,

i am Dimitrios from Greece and this is my first cab build. (based on dk's plans)

I had the idea when my ps3 had been broken so i sold all games and peripherals and i funded the project.

I used 1cm mdf instead of 1.6 with T-molding. An old pc, 19' lg 4:3 screen, old 2.1 speaker etc, ipac 2 controller, buttons and switches from arcadeworld.uk and super mario bros stickers.

 

here are some pics. Project is not finished, i need to buy plexi for the screen and marquee and to install successful this time hyperspin. I am having problem with Retroarch. Each time i open the app it crashes immidiately. #@$^%@#$%.

I LOVE this one!  I know it aint finished but I love the classic shape and what looks like is going to be bright colour scheme  Keep us posted on this one.  Only thing I would have changed would be 8 buttons instead of 6

 

Fantastiche!

Thanx mate. You helped me a lot with your videos. But I can't figure out why RetroArch crashes immediately when starts. 

Well 6 buttons will work for me for now. I have spare buttons for future use if needed.

ps. I love Black & white combo..

I'm a big fan of the classic shaped arcades and this one is done beautifully! Well done, can't wait to see the finished product.

Good job with a well shaped, flush control panel. That monitor is tiny in it though, are you planning on switching that out for something that fits the machine better?

[kelvos]

Unfortunately Metalzoic i do not have another monitor spare to use. This cabinet is my first project but not the last. This one will be sold as much € i have spent to build it to a friend and i will start the second with a 32' tv and 4 players setup. My only problem is that with 2 childrens i do not have free time to finish it asap.

Thnx inspector.
