My Asteroids-Themed DIY Upright Cabinet

@wstanek Thanks, I would like to see that list. In the meantime I found out that Ultimarc's product page actually says that the SpinTrak has "1200 pulses per revolution". But if that's so, then I don't understand why the formula from my link above doesn't get the proper results. No big problem, just more work to find the right values by hand.
My current approach is to try to find and setup the original rotation/movement ratio (e.g. those mentioned above for Arkanoid and Tempest), and then adjust them to my liking.
APB is a good idea. At the moment, I'm collecting the games listed on my link above in two custom collections: driving games and any other spinner/paddle games. Affter that, I'll go through all of them to adjust their analogue settings and test their playability.

Hi @Clyde
This weekend or next will try setting up my arcade cabinet (mostly down to you motivating me). You have a nice neat cabinet there for someone who claims he isn't a handyman haha ;)
Quick question mate, how did you link your Lepy Amplifier to your Pi, as I see you didn't use the USB slot. Assuming maybe with the audio jack?Thanks

I'm flattered. 😳

Correct. 😀 With an adapter cable for the RCA jacks of the amplifier.
Have fun with your project!

Hi @Clyde , I have built a cabinet as well and looking to have an Asteroids theme but really battling to find the vectorized artwork for the side panels (I have the control panel, top panel and logo, just not the nice big one that goes on the sides like yours... Is there any chance you could please share your artwork with me?
-
@GregLove Sorry for the late answer, I missed the notification about your post.
Alas, I can't give you my artwork, and it's not vectorized anyway, but you could check out https://www.arcadeartwork.org.
