This is my first post here and Pictures\Video of my first build

Here we have a bartop arcade I designed freehand and made from MDF. I then covered it in contact paper because I absolutely suck at painting MDF. Let me know what you think.

I didn't take many pictures at first but here are some

I like using cheap USB Gamepads from China. I can usually get them for about 4 bucks shipped.

I then Solder on leads to the buttons, on my first one I just soldered driectly with no terminal strip.

Went to LA on buisness and a barkeep overheard me talking about it. Asked if I could bring it in.

I am looking to getting into making one of these bartop emulators with a huge library loaded onto it. I haven't so far really found any pre-made ones that include all the tech behind it (IE pre-configured hyperspin, ETC).

 

Can I ask you how much total do you estimate this cost you to make?

also how many games and systems have you got on it?
