An update on my arcade console project! W00t!

Not alot of progress. Still in the "gathering materials" phase sadly. Got my PSOne controllers in to hack:



I cracked one open to look at the PCB, and it should be easy enough to solder to the joystick buttons once I get those ordered.

Heres the guts of one of the controllers:


Hopefully it wont get too complicated wiring this bad boy...we'll see.

And finally. Got the overlay artwork done for the 1st controller (5 more to go):


Once I get the PC parts in I need to start working on the blueprints for the console case itself...but Im not sure how fancy I should try to get.

Any suggestions for designs?

Gatsu OUT!

Nice blog. I enjoyed reading it. Noticed that you are in Aiken. My youngest sister is in Aiken. She hates it. She wants to move back to Spartanburg. Wandered if you were still making sigs for people? You do nice work. I have been trying to do a sig with a Gears them but have decided that I suck at it.
