      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!

        @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.

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

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

                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.

                                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).

                                  @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!

                                    @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.
