you should always design something for who will be using it, I'm taller than most people, so I made my cabinet 6 feet tall (about 183 cm). you can make yours as tall as you want, or even go for a bar-top style!
a third option is using MDO (or medium density overlay). it's basically plywood with an MDF veneer. this gives you the strength of plywood with the finish of MDF (other than the edges). MDO tends to be around the same price as plywood.
next is to actually draw your design out on the sheet of material. I had my laptop next to me to view the cad file for measurements. for the curves, i took it slow and free handed the whole thing. if you aren't comfortable doing that, you can also use a compass.
remember to always use eye protection, ear protection, and a respirator. The atmosphere created by machining or sanding MDF boards contains a mixture of softwood dust and hardwood dust. Both softwood and hardwood dust is known to be respiratory sensitizers and may cause asthma and other respiratory problems. Hardwood dust can also cause a rare form of nasal cancer.
I went as slow as I could, and I suggest you do the same. also, if your using a jigsaw, the more in-line (vertically) with your blade your hand is, the more control you have. this gives you straiter lines and a more enjoyable experience.
more seriously, this is what brings in the lines right where you want them. I used a 4-in-1 hand rasp for most of this, but you can use any rasp or sanding "thing" you want. I don't suggest you use a power sander (1/4 sheet sander, random orbit sander, belt sander, etc.). these can gouge material very quickly, leaving you with undesirable results. Just put on some music and take it slow.
next, you need to start constructing the cabinet with the 2x4's. this is pretty simple. when I built this, I didn't have a brad nailer, so I used 2-inch star drive screws for everything (got kind of expensive).
speaking of which; the tv! you can choose to use either an LCD panel or a CRT. obviously, the CRT will be heavier and harder to work with. but if you want a more authentic experience I suggest a CRT. the LCD monitor will have higher compatibility, be lighter, and be of higher quality. if you really want to be authentic, then you can use a real arcade monitor, but you will need some extra hardware to output video to it.
I used an old Dell desktop as the emulation system with Ubuntu Budgie installed. (Ubuntu Budgie is a lightweight Linux distro, the lighter the OS, the better your emulator will run) I compiled all the software from the source myself due to outdated downloads for my system.
Mame is the emulator we will be using to run the games. unfortunately: Mame real ugly! which is where attract mode comes in. attract mode is what is known as a Graphical Frontend. it basically covers up the emulation software and runs a more pleasing GUI on top of it. attract mode is a fully open source project and has a giant community and it's constantly growing. if you head over to their forums, you can view and download any number of themes you like. (i suggest Oomeck's themes, I currently use his "Silky Theme" but plan on switching to "Ambience HD" once he releases it)
to give power to the whole cabinet, I cut the female end off of an extension cord, next I wired that end to a standard house plug, then cut the wire about 6 inches (about 15 cm), then wired a wall switch to that. which will cut power to the whole system at once (in a normal circumstance, cutting power to a pc can cause data corruption. but, because we will never be writing files to the system, there is a very little risk in hard-power-cycling the device. to learn more, I suggest watching THIS video by LTT). not all TVs will turn on automatically when they get power. mine will if I have it on before its unplugged. yours might only turn on if you have the power button constantly pressed (tape it down).
there are tons of styles you can choose from, depending on the games you think you will play. if you mostly play shmups, then you may only need 2-3 buttons. but, if you play a lot of fighter games like me, you'll want more.
once you have decided on a layout, draw it out on your control board and drill out the holes with a 30mm hole saw, make sure to drill straight. (TIP: before the teeth of the hole saw touch the wood, put your drill into reverse, and let the teeth go down about 3/8 inch, then put it back into forward and finish the hole. this will help prevent tear out on the top surface).
Hi,
I have a game idea in mind for an arcade machine. I want to develop the game in unity. I want to know if is it possible to develop the game in unity (Any platform, please mention suitable) for the arcade machine (Anyone can mention the most suitable Arcade machine model and manufacturer)?
I read in to this one time many years ago. There was a DIY community that shared instructions on how to make some kind of Arduino thingy where you wire up all of your arcade buttons and joysticks on to a board and plug it in to a Windows box. Then the board translates the input in to key-presses. The actual hardware costs less than I would have expected too.
There are many options from finding a set of plans that you build from scratch, through kits you build, to ready made cabinets. The more you do yourself, the cheaper it is. Or you could refit an original cabinet from back in the day (but people collect them, so would be expensive). I believe the Arcade1Up arcade machines (ready made machines with classic games on them that look like the originals (except many of the models are 3/4 scale)) can be modded to play other games, but check out more on that before buying one.
You can buy an empty cabinet and stick a pc in it with a monitor. Some cabinets come pre-configured with buttons and stick. Install your games on to an SSD or HD and just have a front end to deal with launching i.e. Hyperspin or Launchbox.
