DIY SNES Powered Mini Arcade Machine

February 10, 2015 By Ms. ausretrogamer

Can’t decide whether to play an arcade machine or console? No room for a full size arcade machine? Don’t worry – djkurtz92’s instructables page shows you how to create a cute little bar-top arcade machine powered by a SNES! And apparently his next project will use an original Xbox running MAME with hundreds (Ed: thousands!) of arcade ROMs, very cool.

If you are at all handy, you won’t be able to resist giving this project a go!

Here are a few pictures (including some of his previous Sega Genesis arcade machine) – and there are plenty more here.

Let’s begin!
