Homemade Arcade Stick(Used Original snes controller)
Been hunting arcade-port games to snes always i could and now i think its time but i have some questions:

Since i own just one of this controlers and i´m more a single player than anything should i make a single gabinet or leave space for 2???

What websites could help me doing it?With pics of gabinets or even the details.

Would like to see also some good high resolution artworks too.

If is there somebody there who already did this job please let me know

Thanks

You can get the parts to make the second controller cheap, I'd make it 2 player. That's half the fun of arcade cabs.

Are you close to the Digital Press store in Clifton NJ?

I sold the store a NIB SNES arcade stick that uses all arcade-grade components last year, and I believe it's been sitting on the floor since then for around $30.

That's the only picture I could find of one on the web, there on the left. Though, again the condition of mine when sold was NIB.

Why not try to find a Nintendo Super System?

I have seen kits go for less than $200 (which includes everything except the cabinent and monitor).

There's a Super System at a pizza place here for like 100 bucks. Dunno if it works or not.

Also, natinh0, are you manually putting that image in every post? you can add it your your signature in the user control panel instead.

Since you're using actual hardware instead of emulation, I think an important consideration in this project is how you plan on handling switching between games. If you're comfortable with light electrical work, perhaps you can extend the cartridge connector to some point on the outside of the cabinet. Otherwise, look into getting some sort of multiple cartridge bank-switcher. I know such things exist for the Atari 2600 (example) (http://www.steverd.com/what26/romscan.jpg), but I'm not sure what the options are for the Super NES on such a thing.

Cryomance:
Yeah, i´m putting it manually but i´ll look forward it, Thanks!

Pantechnicon:
Thanks for the tips but i think i will switch it manually.
Maybe i should try to get another SNES just for the cabinet???
