It's time for an upgrade!

You've probably already seen my custom joystick console
that I finished a few months ago...

Can you guess what I'm going to do with these?
Better yet, do you know what these are?

You got that right!
The top board is an MVS 6-slot memory card reader.
The two bottom boards are coin leds.

In a few weeks, you're going to see how these are going to merge.
This is going to be one bad ass Custom Joystick Console!!

That's pretty badass. Do you run the cables through your floor or are they just not visible from the angle the photo was taken?

If you ran cables through your floor the above mentioned fine line has been crossed. ;)

hey,

Going to place the coin leds on either side of the white 1-2 player buttons.
The mvs memory card is probably going to go inside the top.
Out of the way from the players accidentally hitting the inserted memory card.
It would look a lot better on the outside of the top, maybe on the left side.
But I don't want the players to hit it.

no wires through the floor :glee:

I drilled a 2" hole in the bottom back of the cabinet
and fed all the wires through...

JOe, here you go :glee:

Cut a hole top center and put an MV1C so you can change the game instantly. :p

But damn dude I wish I had one of those.
