    • @plasmar1
      @plasmar1 7 лет назад +2

      it cost me about 200-300$~ canadian back some 10yrs ago, noting Canadian $ has since gone down in value, MDF prices have gone up and I had most the tools, acrylic, crt tv, etc; money went to joysticks with buttons, mdf, primer(spray cans), semi gloss paint(bulk can for air gun), and a dozen drywall/wood dremel bits to use as a jigsaw to do rounded cuts and grooving for the t-molding(tip: make a jig, don't try free handing the t-mold groove)..... acrylic is expensive in Canada(tip: some projection tv's have a thin acyrlic panel, I don't mean fresnel) and a coindoor alone can be 50-100sum~ but I mocked one up using parts I got from 2 BLT cabinets I was given + old 80's bread box sprayed with texture paint and black over that.... I used an old mechanical keyboard as the interface for the sticks and buttons, although more options are now available(was a cost saving measure)... I held off buying t-molding(although the groove is there) as I couldn't find any local stores that carried it(usually located with carpet/flooring ends and vinyl in bulk rolls), sided with using some that I got off an old 80's radio cabinet on the front side of the cabinet(sourcing tip: office tables, cabinets, school desks) or it would of driven up the price by another $80~ as it would have to be ordered online...... light guns I didn't bother with till I found reasonably priced guncon2's locally(they do not with LCD; maybe try wiimotes or what linus did), and similar for the trackball(source tip: there's a few stand alone tv poker, golf games that use fairly nice 2-3in trackballs that should be modifiable to be combined with a ball mouse; I haven't done the modding yet but see no reason it wouldn't be fairly strait forward, rewire the ir sensors)

      The 'J' sound is actually historically accurate, but most people use the hard 'G' sound so both are correct. Just like how most people pronounce Caesar as 'Seezer', but 'Kaisar' is closer to its original pronunciation.

    @k1lg0re50 5 лет назад +4

    Nice work, although conventional. I'm in the process of building mine (finally!), and even though my budget is very limited, the one thing I'm absolutely adamant is an auto-rotating monitor. Vertical games are meant to be played vertically, or not played at all.
    I have a question: I'm using a telly (through SCART). Scaling demands compromise, but I'll see if I can hack it to set the geometry on the fly by software. However, I must say that the results are fantastic, even with the scaling issue. How does your monitor look in terms of authenticity? I read from many places that those multi-frequency monitors render rather poorly at low arcade resolution (which is what you will use 99% of the time for 80's and 90's arcade classics) and are just good for 31khz VGA.

A lot of the issue, especially i find in the UK is lack of, or less known ways to up-cycle or donate to say schools or places they can be used for those without access to a computer. I saw one charity shop few years ago having to dump gifted pc components as they didn't have the money to get any electrical item either officially pat tested or were told they couldn't use them even giving them away because of "health and safety" as someone may get electrocuted etc and rather than risk being prosecuted and fined by the local council had to have them binned.
