Like every young dweeb, I have always dreamt of having my own arcade machine. Now, as an adult dweeb, I finally have the time and resources to build one, thus ensuring that my apartment will remain repellent to the opposite sex. This is that story.

If you want to get in touch with me for tips, advice, or moral support when building your own, I’m more than happy to help, just use the contact link. I have learned a lot throughout this process, and I would love to be able to pass on my knowledge.

The project so far:

Part 1: The Arcade Stick

Part 2: Building the Cabinet

Part 3: Controls, The Basic Version

Part 4: Software and Front End Setup
