Worlds smallest working Arcade machine

[vcoleiro1]

After 3 months of tinkering I have finally completed making possibly the worlds smallest arcade machine. Let me know what you think and any suggestions for my next project.

************* Update **************

Since my initial post a few people had asked me to create micro arcade cabs for them, I thought Id take a video of the resulting Desktop arcade I have going on. Check it out in the video below:

that is awesome!

you should some how make some kinda small tokens that you can insert and let it register and play on! would complete the package!

[portnoyd]

Pfft. Call me back when you can only see it under a microscope.

Err.

Wow! The only question I have is where do you put the coin door when you put it on location, and can it hold more than three coins before filling up ;)

I love projects like these. So very creative. How much would you charge to make one of these? I'm seriously interested. I could even provide the SP. Given all that's involved, I'd like to get someone who really have a talent for this sort of thing rather than give it a go myself. The only small change I'd want is situating the board in such a way that the cartridge slot sticks outwards instead of inwards for GB/GBC support with the backing off.

Very nice, I liked it alot!

As it was stated before, too bad it not "easier" to change the cart, but still manageable it seems

[Colorado Rockies]

That is awesome.
I'd definately buy one of these if you ever decide to make more.

[Dangerboy]

That's adorable on a scale not measurable. Now let's see you do a mini Neo MVS XD

Id probably need to charge about $250 (Australian dollars) + about $20 for delivery. It would take about 5 days to build using a GBA SP ags-101 (backlit model). If your interested PM me.

That's super cool - great job. Some of you guys are really setting the bar high with these things. I can't wait to eventually build something like this myself (though probably not as small) but just don't have the time to plan it all out at the moment.

[Gameguy]

This one is fully functional too. It runs MAME.

When Hallmark's Namco arcade cabinet Christmas ornaments came out, I thought about getting a spare Nokia N-Gage and installing the components inside one and running MAME on it. I never did, I just don't have that sort of technical skill. Plus, I don't have a spare N-Gage to cannibalize.

You should try doing it, Id use a GBA micro for it though

[GameNinja]

That is completely awesome, great work!

Seeing stuff like this always makes me want to try something similar, but I don't have the technical knowledge to start such a project. :(

[Shingetter]

That is really cool, and cute!

[kainemaxwell]

That's awesome and adorable. Good job!

[thom_m]

Great work, man!

[RetroGamer1994]

Great work!

[retroman]

[SpaceHarrier]

I want an entire mini arcade full of these! Amazing job

So... a mini 'sit down' Afterburner II with hydraulics next???

[Balloon Fight]

Absolutely awesome. Really great job on it!

Thanks for doing that.
Actually Ive never visited Retroist.com before, it seems quite cool.

Wow- That one looks great. I saw something similar here a while back on lukemorse1's channel. Check it out:

Luke kinda shows you how he did it, so if you are feeling technical, one could make their own. He has older videos detailing the process - very cool, kinda above my expertise though.
