StarKade Rework
Well as with most of my projects the StarKade was never fully finished. But with my new job I'll have plenty of time to finish my projects. Starting with the StarKade. After scouring the internet more indepth I was finally able to figure out RetroPie. I could never get the controls to change and really didnt know where to start. After reading quite a bit I found the files I needed to edit and with a little bit of luck I was able to get it to work....

Game Gear Repair
Does your game gear suffer from a white screen or black screen? Do you have to angle it at weird angles to play it? No sound you say? Well have no fear so does just a out every Sega Game Gear ever made. The problem is from a bad batch of capacitors from that era. This can be easily remedied by replacing the caps. Although it takes time and patience it's not all that difficult to do. Soldering takes time and patience so use both of those if you...

Arcade Control Panel
Just a quick look at my arcade's control panel. My controls are controlled by 2 gamepad pro controllers. I'm switching over to the i-pac 2. Running an Optiwiz for the trackball. It's the original trackball for the cab. I put new bearings in the trackball. For the joysticks I'm using 2 Servostiks. Although I have yet to hook them up. I haven't had much time to work on it, but it's coming together.Eventually I'll be upgrading the computer. Probably...

DK Barrel Arcade
Inspired by the build "A Barrel of Kong" as seen below. I obtained 2 different barrels as I will be doing 2 of these builds at the same time. Barrels need a little work, but over all aren't bad. My brother, who will be working on this with me, will be rolling a few new rings for them.Decasing a 17" monitor is really the only progress I can say I made so far. &nb...

Added Mouse Buttons
Work on the arcade is going very slow. It's kind of hard to get any spare time with a new born in the house. However, I managed to add and wire up the left and right mouse buttons. There are only a few things left to do for the control panel. I still need to recess the trackball mount, add some artwork, and cut the plexi glass. &nb...

Legit 3DS Emulator
It's called Citra and it is in the extremely early public release. It does not play commercial games yet, and is slow as hell, but it is legit. Check out the source for more info. Here are some specs: Hey guys…I'd like to share a project that I've been working on with a few others for the past few months – the first public project to attempt 3DS emulation. "Citra" (https://github.com/bunnei/citra/) is an experimental Nintendo 3DS emulator/debugger...

Trackball Mounting Plate Installed
Well I finally managed to find the time to cut out the hole for the trackball. I found a template online and for the most part it worked. The 4 corner pegs lined up perfectly, but for some reason when I cut the hole for the trackball it wasn't big enough. I had to make 2 notches at the top and bottom to get it to fit. On a side note I also picked up a 20" wide screen monitor. I'm debating on whether I should make the switch. If I do then I'll probably...

Zombies Ate My Arcade
Well I had originally given this cab away 2 times. First to a fellow hyperspinner, but then my little bro asked for it but He never picked it up so I ended up taking it with me when I moved. The cab itself is in great shape. I had planned on restoring it. In the process of restoring the cab I found out the the color red was bad on the tube. Then after that something went wrong with the gameboard. So after all that I decided to convert it....

Wall Name Plaque
I got this idea from a drawing someone did over at devineart. It's turning out quite well. I need to make some minor tweaking to the 2nd d but it looks pretty good. This is one solid wire. No cuts or breaks were used to make the letters.DISCLAIMER!!!No harm was done to the controller. The wire is actually from a spare Nes cord I had lying around. The controller itself is an empty shell I had from a repair. ...
