I guess i should update again. Im really bad with this. 1 new post every 3 weeks isnt really great. So lets see whats new...
I started work and hope to finish my Nintendo PC project. I gutted an old 8-bit Nintendo and fitted it with computer parts. The original controllers still work and i have over 600 games on it. Most of which i probably will never even try but the fact that i put together a machine that will emulate them all is just super for me. Also given the fact that I can plug it into my TV is another huge plus. AHHH.. Zelda
I've really been on a retro video game kick lately. My other project that I'm working on a MAME cabinet. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulation or something like that. In short, its a computer with 1500+ old arcade games that im gonna fit into an actual arcade case. The kind that need quarters and the whole 9 yards. I found pin layouts and case design blueprints online. I hope to get started on that one soon. Only problem is that its gonna cost me a pretty penny to put together. I'm gonna love it when its done. Cheesy me will have spent all that time and money and I know that Ms PacMan is going to fill most of my time after its all set. I'm weird.. I know.
Argentina went well. Got a few contacts for my little shipping company all set. Looks like i might be going back at the end of Feb. I also hope to go to England at the begining of the month. I just hope i can swing the cash for both trips. I'll figure it out I'm sure....

Welcome to the SGCT!

Excellent! I saw a MAME project on Call For Help some months ago... I saved an old tabletop Asteroids a few years ago on bulk trash day. It still rests at my friends house as her ultimate in conversation-peice technology until the day I reclaim it. Maybe it should be soon!
