Hey just wanted to share a few pics of a new project.

Toy Box Style Tank Stick, it's for my Nephew whose 6 next week. The guys at work made the box and laminated it for me, we fitted the buttons, sticks and setup Retopie today.

My Brother in law is going to mount the bits inside as he has some 30cm HDMI & Power extenders to mount on the case.

Here's some pics:

Very nice control panel with all the needed buttons. It's nice that you didn't install a trackball and a spinner, like many people do. Plenty of room for the hands as most arcade control cases are small in dimensions. I also have these chinese usb controllers and Ultimarc's IPAC. There is a big difference in the price but they do work well most of the times. I have four chinese usb controllers and sometimes, one of them is not responding to buttons and joystick movements, so I have to disconnect the usb cable and connect it again. Other three work just fine. Simple but exactly what an arcade player needs. Well done.
 
Thanks for the kind words.

Charlie will be 6 next week so wanted to keep it as simple as possible and the extra space is nice for sure.
