[edit] Beginnings
Sandb acquired some kiosk stands discarded by his employer. They look ideally suited to make Arcade Machine.
[edit] Brains
Small linux box with MAME can easily fit into the bottom cabinet with room to spare.
[edit] Screen
We need measurements for fitting an LCD in the opening. A custom bezel may be needed.
[edit] Controls
We need some brainstorming on what kind of controls we want on the panel.
Controller options:
- Buy one
- Hack a keyboard
- Build a keyboard emulating thingamajad (arduino?)
[edit] Speakers
Low-quality speakers for playing 8-bit music are needed. We should hide them somewhere (bottom of the controls panel?).
