Fruity Nut Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) So been wanting to do this for a while... The aim is to create a very small bar top solely for mfme running with touch-play frontend. I felt it would save me a bit of time by either modifying a Picade which I have done before for Retropie or an Icade from Ion which I feel would suit better as far more rigid. So so far I have :- Bought an Icade off ebay for £20. Stripped and installed an old 15" 4:3 touchscreen HP monitor I got for £10. Also ebay! Installed a Dell micro PC. £40. Changed the graphics on the side. £9. Cut some trim for the bezel £7. Still plenty to do as you can see. I am planning to just get it up and running with only the touchscreen for now however my plan is to build a control panel utilising some old fruit machine buttons. I'm playing around with different speaker ideas at the moment. I feel sound is very important and the best part of playing these great machines. I will add that I have always had real arcade machines but feel you quickly get bored playing the same old games which take up a lot if space and end up never playing them which is why I have always loved emulation. I have to of course try to fit all the wiring and plugs into what little space I have left. Not looking forward to that!
