Hi All.
I am exploring a future project of making a mid sized (Chopped down) Arcade cabinet using a Pi3.
Does anyone know a good forum or place for information, templates e.t.c. like Sudomod?
Without this site i would have never been able to attempt a GBZ and its an awesome display of how the internet and forums should work. I want the same again but have i just been spoilt?

Hi, that is easy to do! Buy a mini Cab like this:
https://www.amazon.de/Taikee-Micro-Arca ... ini+arcade
And all you need is the same as for a GBZ!

Speaker, Audio Amp, for buttons use a selfmade DIY pcb or buy a adafruit Joy bonnet an port this to your controlls. No need a special Forum for this! It`s easy to do. The best forum (Frontend) for Cabs is hyperspin.fe
My mini cab is on orginal Wood and selfmade design. You can print the parts also with a 3d Printer but i like the handmade work with wood. Here is an other mini cab:

My midi Cab was orderd in England for about 100usd. I`am a german guy to!

I use a broken X-Box 360 Controller and port them to the buttons! Also find a Notebook with broken panel for one Apple & Egg... 2mm Lexan for protect Display, marquee and buttons. A good Friend print me the Neo Geo Artwork. He works as car wrapping man

Here some Pics from my Cab. Frontend use Hyperspin is the best choice and you can find some interessting skills there on this site! Also take a look at Arcade Punks there is a lot of stuff!
