Show me your paintjobs / vinyls / mods / gamerooms!

[Dipkid]

Hey.
(Didnt think this fitted in projects & themes.)
Would be fun to see your custom gaming gadgets!
Be it a steampunk tower 486, an airbrushed NES or your basement cave.
(I can get stuck for hours on Pinterest etc looking at custom consoles, fightsticks etc.)
I´ll start off with my current Ps4 stick (Hori VRap IV) & my latest Nintendo Switch Skin:

Should have gone with a different vinyl, its hard to get the wrapped parts to stick.

Currently working on a new arcade stick

Edge is actual, antique walnut. Top surface is pine

[Dipkid]

@lilbud Nice, looking forward to se the finished thing.
What kind of pcb are you going with?

[Capeman]

I never turn down an opportunity to show off my cab, hahaha!

This is my "grandmother's attic" retro gaming setup. It's not custom or anything but it's so retro authentic that it's worth looking at haha!

[lilbud]

@dipkid I already have a zero delay encoder from Focus Attack. I have a stick currently for my cabinet (link in signature) But I kinda made it quick and half-ass. So now i'm making a proper one.

[Dipkid]

@capeman Thats a sweet setup! I gotta get me a Nes Advantage stick again. Was the sh*t when we were playing Int Track & Field II. :)

Finally, more and more people are celebrating the true superstars of the 'Karate Kid' franchise!

RETURNING AS THE COBRAS:

WILLIAM ZABKA Johnny
CHAD McQUEEN Dutch
TONY O'DELL Jimmy
RON THOMAS Bobby
ROB GARRISON Tommy

AND

MARTIN KOVE John Kreese

Although, I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed in not seeing Terry Silver anywhere.

@Dipkid

im only at ep 3, do they get the whole gang back!? Love Mcqueens character.

I was actually just paraphrasing their listing in the credits of 'Karate Kid: Part II'. I won't spoil anything for you, but I loved the whole season. I really appreciated how they played with the idea of perspective and that from Johnny's point of view, Daniel just road into town, took his girl and messed his whole life up 30 years ago. Great stuff and Zabka really pulls off being the lead. He IS the Mr. Miyagi for a new generation that could use some toughening up.

@mediamogul jeezez, i thought you talked about the youtube show, almost shat my pants, im only at ep 3..! But yeah, no Silver, also kind of bummed i didnt put SAAATOOOO in there. Heres my old ps4:

Amongst some of his friends.

[UDb23]

@dipkid Nice. What's the enclosure you used for the zero delay stick?

[Dipkid]

@udb23 Its foamed pvc, so DIY-ed at work with a cnc-table router.

Not really a custom game gadget, but still fun to show: I've made myself a retro game closet. It used to house a crt tv but since the move to Retropie on an hdtv it's become more a celebration of my retro game passion, filled with box art and figures of my favorite games.

This cyber demon (Doom) is in the mail to me, then it's pretty much finished (untill they release an Abe figure from Oddworld).

[quicksilver]

@bobharris I just beat the cyber demon in Doom port on my pi. I grew up playing Doom 32x (which doesnt have any of the bosses) and had no clue at the time how badly ported that version was. Love how you re-purposed the closet, its like a shrine!

[BobHarris]

@quicksilver Haha! Retrogames as a religion, why not ;-)
Make sure you play the ps1 port of Doom too...feels like a whole different games with the creepy music.
