Hey, looks like the place where people might appreciate this... 

 

I'm a big fan of vintage gaming, NES and arcade games have always been my two favorites. When my TMNT cab kixcked the bucket i decided to make it into my project. I gutted the machine, soldered the wires to the arcade controls (basically tricking the NES to think i was using a standard NES controller), and made an arcade machine that would play all of my NES/famicom games. 

 

 

 

 

Upgrades...

Wow Dude, that thing is amazing! Very clean work.... well done.

Nice game collection too!

That's awesome.  One of my life goals is to do a custom arcade cabinet.  I like how you have the Nintendo systems hooked up to it to play the original cartridges.  Good collection of NES games.

Very nice! I've always wanted to do this with one of those cocktail table systems. A friend of mine has an old busted up Ms Pacman one I've been trying to get off of him for a while but he swears he's going to get it up and working some day

thanks i upgraded it later to play SNES, and N64 too. but i can't use the arcade controls to play those, i actually have to plug the controllers into the systems. 

 

i have a lot of games. most aren't shown. 

 

atari, nes, snes, sega, n64, colecovision, 3do, saturn, etc...

That is really awesome man!! Nice collection of games too...also gotta mention the sweet paneling lol I have the same exact walls as you!! We bought my wife's grandmom's house years ago and one our rooms is exactly like yours..our living room is a nice wood paneling as well, but the rooms are a 70's straight up old grandma house paneling! Do you have any other arcades? I have just one but really want Golden Axe!!

Here is a pic of mine, that's not dust on the control deck, that is 35 years of wear!

Ha! that's my basement. it's all mine and i don't mind the look. the rest of the house has gone through some mods throughout the years.

 

the wood paneling isn't my wife's idea of cool. 

 

no more arcade games, i was toying with the idea of making another but they really do take up some real estate as you know.

They do take up some space that is for sure...that rampage art is really nice stuff!
