The Most Ghetto Pac-Man Cabinet Ever

[Bibin]

So, this will eventually be a worklog of me building a tabletop cocktail Pac-Man cabinet (and I'm not going to make it some MAME cabinet, before you suggest).

I got a (dead) original Pac-Man board from BoFoSho... after removing a totaly burnt out resistor, bridging it, and simply feeding it 12 and 5VDC (instead of the 12 and 7.5VAC it originally ran on) the board now runs perfectly fine. Just for testing purposes, I made this little setup consisting of the board, a good DC adapter (which I'll use in the final build actualy), an old Sega Genesis pad, and a Sega Nomad front half (acting as the only properly functioning RGB monitor in my house). I also hooked up some Segain speakers since the amp on the pac board is quite loud!

Here it is in all of its ghetto glory!

I BET I CAN MAKE ONE MORE GHETTO THAN YOURS.

That's pretty cool! This has been a project that's I've wanted to do for some time now as well, but real life sucks sometimes. Looking forward to seeing more! It's not that ghetto yet unless you leave it like that!
