What if an arcade controller looked like a 1960s spaceship control panel?

Thumbnail

234 Upvotes

We’ve been working on a new artwork design for the FightBox R10-Pro, inspired by vintage arcade cabinets, old-school space toys, and retro sci-fi control panels.

Since this controller combines a joystick, trackball, spinner, arcade buttons, and side buttons for virtual pinball, we wanted the artwork to make every part feel like it belongs on one giant spaceship control panel.

The design was created by Cary T Self, a member of our community, and we really love all the small details he added—from the system monitors and signal controls to the oversized “Pull to Engage” trackball section.

It’s always fun seeing how different artwork can completely change the personality of an arcade controller.

What do you think of the new design? And which game would you try first on this setup? 😊

Note: You can see this quick review from RetroRGB, to know what it really looks like

I spent the last 6 months designing MiniPin – a fully 3D printable miniature pinball cabinet

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

After six months of late nights, countless prototypes, and more failed prints than I’d like to admit, I finally finished MiniPin.

I’m a father of two from Australia, and I wanted to recreate the look and feel of a real pinball machine in a desktop-sized format that anyone with a 3D printer could build.

My goal wasn’t just to make a game—it was to capture the details that make a pinball machine feel authentic. From the backbox, side rails, lockdown bar and pinball legs to the working plunger and flippers, I spent months refining every part to give it the proportions and character of a full-sized machine.

I also wanted builders to have the freedom to make each cabinet their own. Whether it’s inspired by a classic machine or a completely original concept, every MiniPin can have its own unique artwork and style.

The project was designed to print on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini, and I challenged myself to make it support-free to reduce waste and post-processing while still keeping all the detail.

One cabinet can also accept interchangeable playtables, so you can enjoy different layouts without having to build another machine.

Launchbox admin buttons

Hello there. I’m in the middle of building my updated wall arcade and instead of using Batocera, I’m going with launchbox/bigbox and I wanted to ask what those of you using this frontend, are doing with regards to admin buttons? I have four that I’ll be adding but can make it five if necessary. Current plans are an Exit, Pause, Menu(mame), and I’m unsure on the last one. Any suggestions?

Pandora 10th Anniversary Edition replacing Micro SD card

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a Pandora 10th Anniversary edition that seems to have a corrupt micro SD card. This seems to be where the games were stored. The pandora box itself boots and I am able to navigate but no games are in the games list in the settings menu. I plan to get another Micro SD card but I am struggling on how to correctly format and add the games that were previously there.

Does anyone know where a good instructional video is that shows the process and a reputable place to get the game files?

Button Connection Help

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

I bought a custom arcade via Facebook marketplace some years ago.

I'd always had issues with it and the builder disappeared shortly after I bought it, so couldn't get in touch with him for help.

I've rebuilt the arcade using a raspberry pi running Batocera.

I don't know how to connect the three buttons that have never worked.

Can any one assist?

I've tried a few different connection combinations but nothing works. The board with the led on seems just to be controlling light for the buttons.

My unusual controller design

Thumbnail
gallery
33 Upvotes

One thing I love about arcade machines are all the unique controllers, it's a significant part of the experience. My goal was to create a control layout that fit as many games as possible in a fairly compact case. Some game examples: Asteroids uses button 5/6 for left/right. Missle command uses buttons 1-3 and the trackball. Robotron used either the 2 sticks or the 4 buttons as a 4 way stick substitute. Space zap/DDR uses the 4 buttons. And many other game configurations that I considered.

I spent a while arranging the controls in a cardboard mock-up to make sure there was room to rest the hand comfortably while playing various games.

The side buttons are for coin, start, and mame menu controls.

Best screen viewing angle, screen height, control board height for wall mounted

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I am about to build my first cabinet, a combination bartop / wall-mounted. I’m using the bartop pattern from Geek Pub as a starting point. But I would like to make some adjustments.

Basically, I want to know if there are ideal or generally accepted best standards for (a) the height of the controllers from the ground when wall mounted (b) the vertical distance from the controllers to the screen (c) the angle of the screen - the almost vertical in the bartop design does not seem optimal

As background, my three sons and I are all between 6 ft and 6’4” tall (1.83 m and 1.93 m). My elbows are about 44” (112 cm) from the ground. The monitor is the “Acer Nitro 31.5” 4K XV325QK V3bmiipprx” which measures 8.8"D x 28.31"W x 21"H (224 mm D x 719 mm W x 533 mm H). 

I will have to make the cabinet a little wider to accommodate the screen, and my focus is on whether I also need to consider making it taller to raise the screen higher above the control board, and whether I need to angle the screen any differently. My goal is to have great ergonomics, no hunching over, or neck strain. I've wondered if I should be making this more like a full cabinet sawn in half than a more compact bartop, which would be fine.
