Getting the game room into some form of shape.
on: January 15, 2022, 03:25:28 AM
I started back in 2019 with the notion I would eventually clear out the smaller of my storage rooms upstairs and turn it into a game room. It was my old office space before I joined MT.O. With that in mind, I moved my Stadium Pachinko machine and my Azteca Pachislo slot machine upstairs. Just recently, I added an iiRcade multicade cabinet. I have a bar stool that should arrive next week that should make the cabinet a bit more comfortable to use for extended time. I have a mind to add a virtual pinball machine down the road and then I think I can call it quits...as I won't have any room for anything else up there.

Moved upstairs back in 2019 was the standalone Pandora's Key arcade system. This was attached to a small LCD TV. It was always in the back of my mind to upgrade this display in the future. I measured out the space and calculate I would need a 43" TV to fit nicely in the allotted space. I found one on sale and brought it home earlier today. Games from the Pandora's Key system look great on the larger display.

Here is the Pachinko machine turned on. This thing lights up like a Christmas tree.

Here is the Pandora's Key with the new RCA 43" display.

R-Type on the new display. I can see everything now.

Back in 2018, I was playing around with Raspberry Pie 3B mini systems for running RetroPie. I was curious to see how this would look on the new display. I am very very pleased. Here is one of my favorite builds because of the comic book feel of the interface. I will post each menu screen in this build.
