CPUWIZ Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Starcon move over, here is my own personal arcade control for the 5200 and the best thing is, my girlfriend made it. I am gonna wait and let her explain some of the magic that went into building this thing, it's absolutely incredible. A true one of a kind. For now, enjoy some crappy shots, my digicam is not that good at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 What is it-- double fudge chocolate cake? Never knew anyone could make a cake that black without actually burning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Damn dude.. that's awesome My wife doesn't even know what tetris is let alone how to make a joystick Then again, I'm not sure even *I* would know how to approach making a 5200 stick hardware-wise Too cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 My wife can't make lasagna and your girlfriend made you a 5200 arcade stick? I'm showing this to my wife and suggesting she start learning to solder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Very nice - It was obviously made by a women since there is a pillow attached to the bottom - No matter how many splinters a guy would get he would never think of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShyOne Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 She is the most awesome woman on earth. Sheesh! Had I only known all I had to do to achieve that title was bake a little gingerbread and make a pleather covered box, I'da done it a while ago ... :wink: Thanks much, folks, for all the kind words on both projects. Had fun with both of them. But leave us not get too carried away here ... can't take credit where it's not due. I mounted the hardware, etc., but CPU still gets to do all the wiring himself. And, ma baby wants a box - ma baby gets a box. Easy enough to see why.... quite obviously, he's more than worth the effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you two seem very happy together, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I agree - you two seem like very good people. "May your world be full of laughter and happiness" BTW - beautiful work on both projects! I'm hungry! Oh wait... the joystick box isn't edible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Very nice looking controller there. It would definitely be the kind of controller that you can hold in your lap while playing 5200. I think we all agree that CPU is one lucky guy. Now, if only I could meet a girl who know how to solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 You sure that was made of gingerbread...or is that a put-on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 You sure that was made of gingerbread...or is that a put-on? Uh no, this controller is not made out of gingerbread, the heavy-sixer was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidGameKing Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 very cool. do you think she'll be making more? can I preorder? I'll settle for her sister is she knows how to solder too! and you know, I could date her cause we live pretty close to each other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Looks pretty darned cool, but where's the cream filling? Er, I mean, where is the numeric keypad? All this talk of gingerbread has left me hopelessly confused... JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 very cool. do you think she'll be making more? can I preorder? I'll settle for her sister is she knows how to solder too! and you know, I could date her cause we live pretty close to each other! For the right price I am sure she'd spend another 2 days making one of those.

VidGameKing Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 okay I'm confused, no sister, or I cannot date her? Mind you I'm not a fat lazy SOb! I'm a built and cut ARMY dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyOne Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 okay I'm confused, no sister, or I cannot date her? Mind you I'm not a fat lazy SOb! I'm a built and cut ARMY dude! No one's questioning your pecs ... just no sisters to date ... only a brother, and I'm s'pecting you're not much interested in him. As CPU said, for the right price ... PM me if you were serious about wanting one for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
