That IS awesome. Got a build log anywhere? I'd like to see what you're doing for a display.

One of these days I want to try and turn an old color TV into a vector monitor.

So all but done at my end. Massive thanks to @mholgatem, he's been a huge help getting all the bits and bobs working. Took inspiration from another DK build i saw online but went for a variation so that fighting games were available to me. Been a fun project.

That.. is.. amazing! Where did you get the barrel?

SSilver2k2

That is a thing of beauty! You need to try and bring it to a Maker Faire or something :D

:) Thanks. I live in South Australia and we have a very good wine industry thus Barrels can be picked up at hardware stores or surplus yards, pretty much anywhere (some in better condition than others). Its all pretty much reversible too so can just turn it upside down and remove the controller and its back to normal bar a couple of tiny holes.

TheStrayMongrel

Thanks @SSilver2k2, I like it. Wanted something to put on the decking and not really seem like a games machine if the controller was pointed away from you... but on closer inspection. :)

TheStrayMongrel

DK, sure but too obvious. :)

Unfortunately the 1Up and 2Up buttons have to be that way to fit (design fault), microswitches can only go one way, bummer but my OCD is suffering. ;)

Power plug is in the perfect spot for the position for the spot I want to put it... put it there for a reason.
