I made something you guys. Something REALLY cool. It's an arcade machine! This can be wallmounted or used as a bartop arcade machine. Today I'm going to show you how I made it, and how YOU can make one too!

This is a DIY project, and I've included the links to the design files below, along with links to the parts, if you want to make one yourself. Mine is made of particle board but it could be made of pretty much any good wood. Painted with regular house paint and the art is made with Posca Paint Markers. The marquis is printed on adhesive backlit vinyl and mounted on plexiglass, and lit by a cheapo LED cabinet light.

The whole thing is powered by the Super Console X, which has been setup to use the arcade controls as the primary input method (video on how I set that up coming soon).
