Arcade Machinery are A dying breed And It is A shame, because their specially built approach has game East SO healthy. There East something intrinsically satisfying about A device that do A thing And do he GOOD. If You to want has bring that beauty In your own House, Migi has A great Instructables Tutorial that will to walk You through building your own arcade cupboard with custom Based on Arduino controls.

Migi cupboard design East inspired by Capcom mini Cute double, which was A series of little arcade Machinery popular In Japanese coffees. But while he East smaller that standard arcade the cabinets, he East always big enough has feel substantial. A old laptop short MAME Or never mind other emulation software THE user desires. Because A CRT (cathode rays tube) display East A must For A arcade cupboard, Migi used A 14" Sony PVM (Professional Video Monitor). Those tender has be pretty Dear these days, SO anybody replication This build can to want has to entertain other CRT options.

Arcade Games need solid like rock controls, SO Migi designed This has to use Sanwa buttons And The sticks. THE cupboard has controls For two players, with A Arduino UN Rev3 dedicated has each together of controls. Migi together he up that path has TO DO THE software facility Easier, as each Arduino will appear as It is own joystick In THE emulation software.

Migi built THE cupboard himself using A combination of MDF And acrylic. A big laser cutter do that manufacturing A instant, but less well equipped amateurs can to have has to use alternative tools as handheld computer routers. With A coat of paint And a few printed chart, he looks fantastic. And THE Sanwa controls should socket up has decades of heavy to use.
