Dreamcast Arcade Controls: Worst Summer Project Ever
Dead Movie Star \| 6:53 PM on 08.24.2008	21 comments

The day before school starts, Soggy Toast and I finally finish this god damn contraption. For about three months, usually once every other week, Soggy would come to my house and we would collectively scream at this for a few hours. Well it works now, and I just don't want to write out a detailed description about our misadventures. It just works. *sigh*

It's totally awesome, though.

Fancy wiring job there :D

awkwardmongoose

It's so bad it's great. Awesome! I want one.

Shin Oni

that wiring is just top tier.

Ninjajuice

Now you can play MvC2, with arcade perfection.

Dead Movie Star

Yeah, the wiring was kinda fancy at first but that didn't work out too well...

KamikazeTutor

Wow that box is huge.

Keep it going.

Where you got those buttons?

Rifter01

Very interesting.. It looks like you used a Mad Catz controller for some of the guts.. I too have a Mad Catz controller that isn't working well, but just might make a good base for a similar project.

Namakubi

That's awesome, and I can only imagine the insanity that commenced when trying to re-wire and solder that sucker.

RonBurgandy2010

I wish I had skill or talent...

Oh well, back to my wallpapers.

Puppy Licks

That is the most ghetto arcade stick I've ever seen, I dig it :)

welkstar

Nice! I was thinking about attempting a similar project for the Xbox360, but I gotta finish my cabinet first. Too many projects :)

Shin Oni

oh yea....Lolipop Stick > Baseball bat stick. but that's me.

s0lesurviv0r

Now I feel better about the mess of cables inside my self-built pc, thank you!

Krow

As long as it works who cares what it looks like?

Also, can I come play with it?

Dead Movie Star

@Kamikaze
The buttons are fromHapp but I would suggest using an American retailer.

@Bwark-Kupo

Yes you may.

casualweaponry

I've seen (and done) worse. As long as it works its awesome.

Maurice Tan

Dead Movie Star

Thanks, Pew.

Soggy Toast

If that thing breaks NEVER tell me.

maxio098ui
