Retro Gamin'

What is this? Attach of the 50" Space monsters?
No its my very own classic arcade system. Currently addicted to Q*bert, and Mrs. Pac-Man. Almost a year ago I got the crazy notion of building my own arcade controller. So I searched around on the internet and found a controller board a nice looking classic joystick at ultimarc, and a bunch of buttons off eBay. The controller I used is even USB, so its almost plug-in-play with any computer.

But at the time I only had my computer to play games on. Since then I had purchased my TV, which I was excited to see that it had 2 RGB inputs on it. Then again I did not have an easy way to hook up the TV to a computer as I only had a hefty PC tower, and it was upstairs, and the TV was downstairs, and I am lazy. Anyways I recently got a new to me laptop and was able to put all the pieces of the puzzle together!

Enter: Home Made USB controller -> Laptop -> HD TV!! Soooo much fun
