My custom-made arcade controllers


Crush

Recommended Posts

I would like to build an Arcade Cabinet, but as many of you already know it is not easy to build one if you don't have your own workshop and you are also married... :ph34r:

So i decided to avoid a divorce and just built a few arcade controllers for use with MAME - the good thing is that you can place one controller next to another and use the controls from both, so all combinations of control devices are possible.

They all use components from Ultimarc (Ultrasticks, Minipacs, SpinTrak, U-Trak, arcade buttons). The boxes come from an electronics shop.

I designed all art in Photoshop and the button/joystick layouts in Illustrator. A good friend made all the required holes on the plexi covering the top, as i don't have the required equipment.

 

DUAL CONTROLLER (mainly for Crazy Climber type games)

SINGLE ANALOG CONTROLLER (for the majority of games - some like to use the buttons on the left, others on the right)

TRACKBALL CONTROLLER (i am a huge fan of Missile Command - i know it has too many buttons but it is also used for MahJong games)
