Ultimate iPad Arcade gets a Steampunk Facelift.

So I finally got around to getting some artwork for the iPad Arcade. I went with a vinyl wrap.  The design and asthetic are my choosing but Mandy from Ugly Signs did the actual artwork. I think a little personality is exactly what this project needed.

You cant make it our in  the picture but the dials on that last image read out 31337. Leave a comment and tell me what you think...

The Ultimate DIY iPad Arcade

So I've finally finished all I am going to do building-wise on the iPad arcade cabinet. All of the features I want are there. I'll put up a video of me using to play some emulators as soon as Zottd releases Classic controller support. In the meantime I have new pics and a couple of videos highlighting most of the features. The only thing I have left is some sweet artwork covering the wood. I am very happy with how it came out. I am going to be looking into some manufacturing avenues so this may eventually make it to market. I may also sell a DIY kit that comes with everything (like pre-drilled pre-cut wood and fasteners etc) but the electronics if people show any interest in something like that. Let me know what you think. Pictures and video below.

iPad Arcade Construction 98% Complete

Got some new pics for ya.
Video to come as soon as I'm done with the last bit. All I have left is to wire it up to the Wii controller and secure the speakers. After that all that's left is polish. I have a neat idea for the artwork. I'm going to put a Chinese dragon  on the back with brass tacks as it's scales. I might have one or two more features on the way but the video will go up as soon as the wiring is done.
