Very nice. What chipset are you using?

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?

It's an '030 based A1200/32MB, 3GIG HD, X2 Disk Drives with removable USB Keyboard, Zip Stick with Arcade buttons, Auto Fire Switch and Mouse/2 Player Port all housed inside a custom built Mini' Arcade Cabinate.
 
If you visit my profile page and look at my Albums, you will see more pictures.

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.

Here's mine. It plays everything from arcade games to console and computer games. Playing Amiga games on it is a blast. I fire up Lemmings all the time and play it with the trackball.

Nice, mine is an AMIGA only, but it does have some emulators on there to, it's mainly for playing SWOS but I can play anything AMIGA on it if I want.
