@ClassicGMR @robertvb83 Okay, I can accept kids as "most hazardous environments". 😉 edit: Hm … maybe a slightly electrified wire mesh instead of the glass … but I digress. 😈

Very impressive

@thelostsoul said in Super CLASH Bros (demo version): Or do you mean it got the same gameplay idea? Yes

@caradebalde Although he did remove the foto(s) from his opening post there, @wilisb described the build a little in his other thread about it.

Do you know the Raspberry Pi Cluster? :)

@clyde said in Arcade on wheels..: Great idea and build. In addition, you could cover it with a one-sided mirror so it looks like a hall mirror when it's turned off. :) That would look very nice, but I don't know if I can deal with all the glare it will produce.

@mediamogul said in Any PSX builds?: @klachow I'm sure they'll be just as happy with a chocolate fountain and a bouncy castle. Can i have a chocolate fountain and make sure it is dark chocolate cause i am also diabetic.

I view this very differently I dont think the open projects will be effected. Its the private closed ones that where the cash is for github. Imagine all the information ms can get from these private repos for sales and advertising and peek at code ect. The company doesnt have a vey good past with anti competitive behavior it. The commercial end of github is where they will make the cash from. That is how github makes a profit before ms took it over as well it not all free when you go private

whoa i really like this, i have a crapy nes game lying around, might do this

@scabab1359 Running with ROMs from an external drive - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/. If you remove the drive, then the system will read the ROms from the SD card. Kids mode - you can toggle Kids mode in Emulationstation, the frontend for the listing the games, and only games with the 'Kid Mode' flag will be shown, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#ui-modes

i found a pcb files for the gameboy advance that some one did a pi with it. after alot of struggle with no experience i managed to modify his pcb to fit my need. i take no credits lol i even left his name on the pcb i hope i did the modifications right , i have never used a circuit design program nor i know how to lol

I love the fold away control set. On the first photo I was thinking "What is that semi circle thing? Is that a control knob?" and then I realized that it is the ceiling reflected. That does get me to a question. I know getting photos may be difficult, but how well does the screen show through when playing? These pics captured a lot of the reflection and so I was curious if that has been a problem for you while playing or if once back lite you can even tell there is a mirror in front.

Nicely done

@dubiousengineer Thanks, I very much appreciate that. 😊 But don't be fooled about its apparent professionalism, the pictures' resolution isn't high enough to show the many little flaws and compromises I had to make. E.g. I couldn't avoid small wrinkles in the foil at the sharp outer corners – but they're not so bad that I have to cover them with the usual moulding. I don't want to enter a "you certainly did a better job than me, sir" argument, but nevertheless, you put much more actual craftsmanship into your build, whereas I used a DIY kit, even if a "raw" one without artwork and electronics. But okay, in the light of my very limited crafting abilities I do take the liberty to be a little bit happy and proud about the outcome. 😌 Watching your last video made me admire your work … again. You don't seem to have one of those big workshops with buzz saws etc. that many prominent arcade builders have, yet you make the best of your tools and materials. I also liked how you improvised after drilling an oversized hole (man, I had the sincerest sympathies watching it). I have only one gripe about your videos: stop drinking tasty-looking beer! It always makes me thirst for my own. 😄 edit: I forgot a word. sigh

Never! 😊 I always find something to do or to optimize. And actually i have to create a new build based on stretch from the scratch. At least the renaming of my arcade roms (use to sort them by manufactor, i.e. "Atari - Xybots") will take lots of hours.

You nailed the concern on this perfectly by describing the fact the Colecovision, Intellivision and Atari 5200 (CX52) have very similar controllers. What I really wish is that the three communities would get together and do a Kickstarter or GoFundMe to develop an improved, common controller that can be used with all three systems. I don't know what other consoles used a numeric keypad as part of the controller. It's fairly unique compared to all modern controllers made in the last 35 years. I think when NES came out in 1985, those type controllers started to disappear from production. By thinking in terms of a common controller for all three systems, it seems a lot more feasible to do than just going it alone for just one system. My idea would be to make the controller flexible to serve all three consoles. I'm an Intellivision fan, so the numeric touchscreen could be flipped upside down (software config) for Colecovision and Atari 5200 fans whose controllers had the numeric keypad on the bottom (the three buttons above the CX52 joystick would have to be combined onto the 15-button touchscreen - a compromise). The four side buttons could be near the middle of the controller (another compromise). Both ends of the controller would have ports for connection to the homebrew console or PC with different cable adapters. Configuration software would be created to program the controller to immediately act as a duplicate of one of the three console's controllers. The directional disc itself could be configurable with attachments to closely represent each console.

This is pretty epic IMHO!! But if you are going jerry can look then I think one of the switches with the red flip cover (like a fighter jet) would make it look even better! :)
