  1. This weekend #parenting meant building a mini arcade stick for my daughter so she'd stop reaching for mine while i struggle with #KingOfFighters combos

    It's cute and Fisher-Price colored, which her mom and I agreed on. I designed and 3D printed the top cover out of "clear" PETG, which took 5 revisions to fit everything in
    The metal shell is no lie pulled from spare parts for a discontinued medical device from a job I worked a decade ago.
    the buttons and stick and USB-C passthrough on the back came from arcadeshock.com/ whose warehouse is close enough for me to buy in person instead of shipping.
    I threw some cheap rainbow RGB in there to glow beneath the translucent faceplate
    I 3D printed the adapter forthe USB port on the back as well

    The bottom right text says "Starfist" (inside joke with my wife) but it isn't super legible. Hoping a future 3D print will come out a little clearer

    The last picture is of my fightstick, so you can see what she was reaching for. We are an American household and by God I, my wife, and my daughter all prefer bat top levers instead of the common ball top ones.

  3. And now for something completely different: The #C64 mini in black😎

    I got it because it is black and the hdmi output can be 50Hz (Retropie on Raspi gives you 60Hz for PAL games🥸)👍

    Well, wireless Keyboard on a hub worked right away and running games from USB storage worked too.

    TheJoystick is... not so bad but... worse than a Competition Pro!
    My #Arcadestick comes with enough buttons to open menus, create Savestates, all from buttons on the joystick, the wireless keyboard is only for more complicated games.
    But first none of my Controllers via USB worked 😞
    Then I tested with an #8bitdo BT receiver.
    You have to force it with Select/-/View + Right in an Apple OS mode to make it work on a C64 mini🥸
    Also connect it to USB before power on🤙

    Now I am wireless happy with the little black one 😎

    Next step: How to create CJM files to map Dpad Up on a button🕹

  5. I'm sure this will be a BREEZE and not difficult at all in the LEAST!

  7. So it turns out Shinseiki Evangelion: Battle Orchestra plays great with an arcade stick, emulated on a PS3.

    Also, made a shadow box display of some N64 carts to liven up the space. Weird photo angle for privacy's sake.

  9. I am squarely between playing on arcade stick and using leverless and it is the most uncomfortable point with controls for me. I really like leverless, I feel like I’m typing on a laptop. Stick is what I’ve known forever. But I CANNOT reliably DP on leverless and it suuucks.

  11. With the announcement of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, I was finally encouraged to do the WASD conversion for my 8BitDo Arcade Stick.

    I've had the kit for a while, but I needed to order some new keycaps.

    Was very simple, can easily convert back if I want and works great. Now to break out Mario Maker 2 and get used to it before Wonder comes out later this year.
