Important Video Game Projects

Whether arcade or computer or console, here is a collection of nostalgic interactive media endeavors reflecting the recent past.

Video Games

Both retro and novelty. Games, consoles, controllers, gadgets.

This project was created on 03/10/2025 and last updated 4 hours ago.

Description

The idea is to design a classic mini arcade from scratch with all the gadgets I can think of installing: a digital marquee, an automatic joystick restrictor, an automatic rotating screen, analog buttons for racing games, a trackball, a spinner with a button, a rotating joystick, ambilight, automatic light controls... etc.

  • Impresión 3D y primeras correcciones

    SrRubio • 09/01/2026 at 16:11 • 0 comments

    Empecé imprimiendo los paneles y he tenido que rediseñar varias cosas:

    - He cambiado la trayectoria de la tira led para no tener que retorcerla tanto.

    - Le he dado más profundidad para cubrir los cruces de la cinta.

    - Olvidé añadir los agujeros para las roscas insertadas del volante.

    Además al unir las piezas con los conectores, el pegamento traspaso al otro lado.

    También he decidido imprimir con la cara de los pulsadores hacia la mesa de la 3D, en las primeras piezas lo hice de lado a lado, cogiendo bastante altura y con mayor margen de errores. 

    La tira que compré es de 2m, he tenido que comprar una nueva de 3m

Looking good.  Any chance of non-HDMI, though, so as to avoid feeding the beast?
