Can You Make It Bigger? – A Journey in Building Collapsable Arcade Cabinets
This one started out as an idea. Dan Hardiker from Devoxx UK contacted me with an idea: “We want to make a bunch of games with our sponsors, and play them on a bunch of small arcade cabinets. But we also want to take the cabinets to a some other events.” I like small, well defined projects, and this one fitted the bill. We can do this. Small, well defined projects.

So we recut the side panels to the same profile as the Devoxx cabinets, gave ours a lick of paint, and using a Player-X board, some more components and a trackball, added some extra rizz for two player action and more game modes.
