The GBZ is like a mini arcade machine build. Same idea but a lot less space to work with

Well this is freaking amazing! Happen to have templates or guides drawn for the cabinet? I would love to steal this idea. Also, where did you get the stickers?

I might have a few sketches around but i kind of just designed it as i built it. I started with the 2 sides. Once i had the shape i wanted i figured out how many centre pieces I would need. All of these are obviously the same width and various heights. The control panel i planned out straight onto the wood, drilled the holes for buttons and joystick and then used this as a template for the acrylic cover.
The artwork was just made from a bundle of images I found and edited on my computer. I then found an online printing service that offered sticky back vinyl.

The controls are easy enough to wire up if you use the xin mo adapter i went with.

Thanks! I might give this a go this summer. I just need to convince my life to calm down enough.
