The FB2 Table Top Arcade

[Shawn]

Well,

 

I said when the FB2 came out and all the mods started to the system by various people that I would post some pics of my take on a FB2 mod when I had time. Well, here it is. It's not complete yet as I still need to add a marque and T-molding and a glass face to the front of the monitor but you will get the idea for sure.

 

The 2 green buttons on the controll panel are Reset (Left one) & Fire (Right One) The stick if for control (obviously) and the white button on the side is for Hard Reset to the FB2 menu where as the reset on the control panel is just a soft reset for ingame re-starts and the hard reset actually takes you right back to the FB2 startup menu.

 

On the back there is a LED lit power button also. The screen is a A\V inabled 5.5 inch B&W TV with alot of work to it. I don't care to get into the details of how much of pain it was to get rid of the AC's inverferance bleed to the montior but lets just say it required a steel box around the ac's for starters, but the screen is crystal clear now. All works perfect and I am fairly proud of this machine. It's not bad for a side project I only work on in my spare, spare, spare time (AKA nothin' better to do).

 

use the most obtuse messurements the machine is 15" L x 8"W X 10"W. So on to the pics:

 

 

 

The last pic didn't turn out to great but its just a shot of the power button anyhow.

 

Cheers,

Cool mini arcade, now all you need is the Flashback 2 title logo and side-art

I plan on doing the "title logo" on the marque for sure, as for the side art, I was thinking a big atari logo but that might be a little to plain. Got any suggestions?

Nice work Shawn

[Zonie]

A car seatback LCD would make a nice color display for that.

Wow, looking good!

 

I wanted to do a mini warlords arcade like that using the 2 player atari paddle controllers all in one thingy. Arcade warlords for the win

 

If I make it a bit bigger, I can get a 4 port atari 5200, and use castle crisis...
