You can: construct joysticks, buttons, and trackballs; build the console and cabinet; install and configure the software; crank up the speakers; and wham! Step across the time-space continuum and enjoy all those classic games, plus dozens of new ones, whenever you like.You start here: plan for your space and budget; design and build the cabinet; construct the controllers; build the console; pick an old game's brain; install the emulator; convince a PC it's a game; connect a monitor and speakers; and add a marquee.
