Sweet!

But we'd like more details please  :)

Which machine is it based on? Did you build the cabinet around the bare CPU board or did you simply slap the entire Amiga in there? Are you employing a menu system to select the games? How do you navigate the menu? Which kinds of games and how many are playable? What are you using for mass storage? What kind of monitor and how big?

Is there just the one built in joystick and 2-buttons? If so, any plans to add a second?

Nice work - maybe needs a trackpad for the mouse control built in on the RHS of the joystick panel. :-)

Nice idea, I am happy enough with it for the time-being though, if I make another, there is plenty more I would add.

The TV slides out from the back making it super portable, it weighs less than a child, and it will house most portable TV's with the help of a few magazines if it's a smaller model TV, just to prop it up, I've had both mono and stereo CRT's inside it, anything with a SCART will work.

A Scart lead from the video out, it's a really nice picture, not as sexy as S-Video, but still fucking nice. (;;;;;) the connection that looks like this piss poor excuse for a diagram.
