It's almost done, by the end of the day (it's 1 AM now) my gun should be operational! It won't be fnished (will still need a few cosmetic touch ups), but it will be playable!!!! I have waited long for this day, playing ROM's in mame while staring at my MVS carts begging to be played! Below is a picture of my newly created joysticks and my final RGB to NTSC converter circuit (it's clean soldered, no protoboard this time!). I've been pushing myself to the limits on this stuff, but I dont' care! I will be playing soon!

On the joystick you can't see the hinges, but you can see the latch on the bottom. It swings open so i can service the connections in there, plus these things will probably take a beating so I'll probably be replacing those sticks after a few months.
Note on the RGB converter, I used power supply connectors for not only power, but also for the inputs outputs. This way the circuit can be as modular as possible, and it will allow me to service the unit much easier than if I soldered directly to the board.

What do you guys think? Good, bad, or just think i should have bought a AES and a converter <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> ?
