ICTDirect_Dave Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I'd be too scared of it getting scuffed or something!! If I change my mind though... I'll let you know! Might have to put a box at the side of it 50p a go. Money goes towards building another hahah! Oh we could wrap it very safely, we're good at that. But maybe haviing a charity box next to it would be a good idea
ICTDirect_Dave Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Depends, do you require public funding in order to live a normal, safe, and secure life?
mikeyd101 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Congrats on your arcade machine Joanne, looks fantastic. I have plans to build one in the future once the rest of my new house is taken care of, along with a virtual pinball machine also. If you ever upgrade it to a real pc I can recommend launchbox, i've just started using it after trying to setup hyperspin and its sooo much easier. I also just recent got a mayflash dolphin bar and with dolphin v5 its amazing and pretty close to near perfect wii emulation from what i've seen so far.

north-ict Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Looks awesome you could always call it after a quote from the doom song from Invaded Zim @Joanne (Doom doom doom......doom doom) when a coin goes in it, you hear Gir scream lol.
Joanne Posted August 15, 2016 Author Posted August 15, 2016 Last panels are finally sprayed! I'll post proper photos once it's all in one piece! 2

Joanne Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks. Still need to suss out how to program controls for some of the emulators, but all the console ones work fine.

DJ-1701 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 40 what? 40 Doomcades, I'll have some room put aside for delivery on Friday. Excellent work.
Joanne Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 LOLZ! it took me 6 months of nagging to get this one (and I had to finish it off myself!) So good luck with that 😉 1
cpjitservices Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 We had one like this come in a few weeks ago for a new motherboard it was all custom made... I had to image it as it had a custom version of XP on it and about a million and 3 games on it. They all looked quite good. Had a built in Juke Box too. The OS was just XP but it had a particular name which I cant remember now. Ill dig out the image. NB: Found it - this is the one it was running. Maximus Arcade: 1
cpjitservices Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 WOW - getting that I still have the Acronis image here with about 5 million games on.
Joanne Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 I love that if anything goes wrong with it... £35 for a new pi!
mikeprice Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 What - free Pie - WOWHOOO Oh sorry - misread - £35 - seems a lot for pie - it was £1 in Tesco this afternoon
Matt_Renato Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I setup a Pi the other week with this on http://retropie.org.uk/. Not gone for the full arcade setup, just using a couple of wired Xbox 360 controllers. A little bit of advice for anyone purchasing the Pi kits. The USB cables provided for use with the power adaptor don't seem to be of great quality and prevented the Pi from booting (I just ended up with a flashing red light). Wasted nearly an hour checking and re-writing the image to the SD card before solving the problem with a better cable!

Yeah been there - done that - ripped the t-shirt apart in rage also works with low power cheap chargers
Joanne Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Yeah mine did that with with a crappy USB plug.
Joanne Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 I've got retro pi with the emulation station.
