One day I hope I can attempt to make my own but all that wood work scares me a little. My craftsmanship would be so shoddy hahaha. One question, when you play shooting games like House of the Dead, is the aim accurate with the screen tilted like that? | ||

In the mean time, I decided it was about time to build up the control panel. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nEXr0.jpg) I designed a control panel layout in Inkscape and printed it out to lay over the control panel board. Then I just drilled out the holes through the template. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DdVb5.jpg) Here it is after installing the joysticks, priming, and painting. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rAFwh.jpg) And again after installing the buttons and joystick tops. Looking pretty cool. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZZDMZ.jpg) This is what the underside of the panel looked like with the buttons and switches. Still need to connect them all... ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/F0BLR.jpg) That's a hell of a lot of time right there. Went through a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Band of Brothers before finally finishing. Got 'em all wired to the keyboard interface. I would love to see a step by step on how you put together the control panel and configured it for use with an emulator. | ||

I saw a custom cabinet on youtube and the guy used one of those digital picture frames and loaded it with input/move lists for different games and mounted it on the top. Thought it was pretty clever thought I'd share. cheers PS if your in Ohio i wanna come play lol | ||
