In my spare time I repair and build retro gaming items mainly display items and usually using some form of recycling.

Building another wall mounted larger nes cartridge, this one will play games and hopefully display clearer images

Currently restoring a cabinet, not sure what colour to paint it when complete, fair few holes need filling

[Playretrodesigns @Playretrodesig1]

Too much pressure on the case, have to make some adjustments, shame as I was about finished

@nam9arkade @Pixel66 Sadly not, I believe somewhere in China they made a Christmas cart that had a screen selection. It could be done on a cartridge, beyond me I am affriad

Decided to revisit making the NES label slider, this time higher resolution touchscreen with sound and recharge able, going to change the design of the stand again as I know of some improvements, still tinkering :) #nintendo #nes #lcdcart #retro #supermario #mario #nostalgia

@DavidCWG @RISCOSbits The joystick ports I used a usb to game port serial but you could use usb.

An old project. I picked up a rather tatty acorn a3010 at auction, the board was knackered so I put a pi in it only because riscos runs natively on the pi, it's like having a super fast acorn. I was told by others it was worth nothing, it sold for far more than a restored one.

@DavidCWG @RISCOSbits The keyboard encoder was bought from https://t.co/iSzoDztbCu the floppy drive wasn't connected but the guy who bought it has a floppy controller that works with the pi to enable it to work, the internal speaker, reset button all worked.

@DrTomTilley Never finished it but that's exactly what it would have been

[Playretrodesigns @Playretrodesig1]

It's not big, it's not pretty but I've cleared it out to start new projects hopefully #gameboy #dmg #nintendo #msdos #floppydisk #projects #hobby #visualdisplay #manshed

A guy stateside posted me a video of his game room, fair few of the items I made are on display #gameroom #gameboy #dmg #arcade #visualart #shadowbox #nes #nintendo #atari #retro #nostalgia #commodore64

Had to make a few adjustments for this one to keep the general NES theme, backlight needed adjusting, if I was to improve on this I'd make each of the fighter squares glow #shadowbox #punchout #nes #arcade #retrogaming #littlemac #miketyson

@florinthedwarf @Bhaal_Spawn @Retrob8 Should still be there, I re-rosted it as the first post I forgot to post the actual video :s

[Playretrodesigns @Playretrodesig1]

Here's another project I made last year, Doom on a floppy disk! Ok I cheated the floppy disk is a model scaled four times large but still it's playable. #idsoftware #id #doom #doomguy #nostalgia #msdos #pc #retrogaming #90s #fps #raspberrypie

I so didn't set the camera up right for this one, starwars shadowbox with playable game and light up marquee #starwars #atari #deathstar #tiefighter #arcade #nostalgia #70s #80s #scifi #visualart

A few larger shells I made for 8" screens, made again from MDF and shaped afterwards #lynx #atari #nintendo #dmg #gameandwatch #projects #visualart #tigerlcd

[Playretrodesigns @Playretrodesig1]

Had a go at making a large tiger LCD to display it's games, no idea why, just liked the shape of them nasty LCD games #tigerelectronics #projects #visualart

[Playretrodesigns @Playretrodesig1]

I even.made sound wave to match the blaster one I built. The screen displays the cartoon series and a panel is placed over to make it look like a cassette after use. #transformers #hasbro #nostalgia #80s #cartoon #projects #visualart

Never completely finished this project, well the little touches, the pinball itself worked fine. Uses a dual screen setup on a tablet pc so quite compact and low powered. #pinball #minipinball #arcade #nostalgia #terminator2 #projects #upcycling #tabletpc #pinballfx3
