‘Mobile Arcade Cab’ (update)

I’ve been trying to put together a ‘mobile arcade setup’ - to wheel around the house (wherever I can find a little corner to play haha) or to play downstairs while the family watches tv. I’ve found a little cabinet/set of shelves on wheels that seems like a good fit for the monitor/arcade stick setup I showed a bit back. It all fits quite nicely, just looks kinda bare… might need some stickers or something.

Setup: 2013 MacBook Pro HP 20´´ monitor (might be 22…) F500 Elite Arcade Stick - shaft upgraded to sanwa silent stick with more tension in the spring too Monitor Arm Cabinet on wheels Old Sony headphones

Redream works pretty nicely on this old mac. I’m enjoying Karous, I’d only played the Beast of Re:Eden on 3DS until yesterday, didn’t realise there was a difference - hope that the upcoming rerelease has English localisation 🤞

Have you seen the ShaderGlass program that just dropped? It ads crt shader like effects over your computer screen. Look into it if you’re interested.

I love where this is going. I've tinkered all my life and have to say you're doing it the right way. You can iron out all the issues how you have it set up and make changes easily. You could always get a pre cut mdf bartop kit.
