Turn your old laptop/netbook into a mini Arcade

[iTpHo3NiX]

Ok well I recently got a new book and I will be posting some of the fun tech related things you can do with electronics and just common geek/hack stuff. This will help stimulate your minds and have some fun with some small easy projects





I suggest getting the I-PAC VE

You can buy one here:

You can get joysticks/buttons from here:

That finished up with MAME and some game roms, you'll all set to get your retro gaming on in a small tabletop mini arcade

EDIT:

1 Joystick and 10 buttons (1 button being a 1player start button) $22+$44=$66+tax/shipping for the iPac and the joystick/buttons so not too bad
