Neat!

[Tense]

These are fantastic. May I ask, did you make the joysticks yourself... or are they purchased?

[cvga]

Wow, those look incredible!!!

[disjaukifa]

That is freaking awesome, great job! I'm really impressed! If I had the funds, I'd order one!

[Dr Manhattan]

Just watched the video. "Dig it!"  Right on!

These things are amazing!

Do you accept tiny money?

You need a tiny hat to wear while you play your tiny arcade machine.

Sooooooo incredibly tempting!!!  $300 is a tough price to pay though... but it is cool as hell!

The Joysticks are purchased, they are about $25 US each delivered, you can get them from a few online electronic stores .

OMG... So freakin' awesome!

Awesome man, respect.

Great work bud, awesome machines.
if you ever made one with the innards of a DS rather than a GBA, I'd be all over it.
(Unfortunately there isn't a Dragons Lair port for GBA, and the GBC version is ass).

Awesome job though!

That makes absolutely no sense with two screens, one being a touch screen.

What arcade packs are there for the GBA?  How easy is it to change 'carts' - that done via the back?

The Classic arcade games that I know of for the GBA include the following , there are probably more though:

Gauntlet,  Pac-Man (Plus all its variations) ,  Metal Slug, Bubble Bobble, Marble Madness, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, Pong, Asteroids, Yars Revenge, Xevious, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Pole Position, Millipede, Space Invaders, Lunar Lander, Break out, Defender, SinStar, Robotron, Joust, Bionic Commando, Strider , Mighty Final Fight, Rush'n Attack, Gyruss, Scramble, Yie Ar Kung~Fu, Time Pilot, , Frogger, After Burner, OutRun, Super Hang On, Space Harrier , Battlezone, Centipede, Missile Command, Super Breakout, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros and Tempest.

As for changing carts , as per the video its very easy to change them via the back.

You could make it in the shape of a playchoice 10 dual vertical monitor machine...

I just want to say that this man deserves as many purchases as he can get. After a couple of conversations with him... he is super helpful, and wouldn't even take donations. Buy this man's stuff if you can.

Thanks , I appreciate that

Looks very nice!!  Tempting to get one.

Are you using the original SP AES 001, or the later SP with model AES 101?  101 has better LCD display while older version tended to have trapezoid shaped purple hue.

I use the AGS-101 which has the backlit screen for these.

I have to admit I'm kinda tempted to get one of these. Can I ask vcoleiro1 what kinds of cabs do you have art for? Like if I wanted one that had the side art of a Defender or Tempest cab would you make one? Or is there a list of what you have possible to make and we can choose from that list of art?

And I think you mentioned in your video about the Mortal Kombat unit that you are considering doing a version of this project using a Dingoo instead of a GBA, is that in the works or did you change your mind? I think I would almost prefer a Dingoo version. Having said that, how are you going to squeeze six buttons on the cab? Would a Dingoo version be more expensive or less than doing one in a GBA?
