My Arcade

     


My arcade


Finally finished my Arcade, it's been a project i've been working a few month now. Unfortunately i dont have pictures of the construction and only started to take pictures in the end. It's all beed done by me , from the scketch , to the 1:1 model on cardboard, cutting all the parts from mdf, paiting and assembly. It's been a really good project to learn some tecniques, specially about painting. It's running on windows with a small pc inside and running Mala with Mame emulator. It has 16 buttons , 2 joysticks and it's quite good for 2 players. The screen it's a lcd of 17 inches. Any questions or comments let me know. I know the pics aren't that good but the day wasn't sunny for a good quality pics.
