Yeps Tron was kinda the theme. I watched the old one again on the weekend, SO looking forward to the sequel.

This was my first cp.

EDIT: Hi Res pic:

but it was kinda abstract, and I thought that I needed to go fore something a little easier for my kids to grasp.

Another one I was considering was this one:

but the red just does not fit in with the overall black and blue theme.

The overall color theme is black and blue, other than that, it must be kid friendly.

The main reason for the minimame is to introduce my kids to computer games the way I was introduced. A joystick and a couple of buttons to mash. The buttons I ordered are red, yellow and blue. Now that I think about it its not important to have the different colours on the control panel. I've been trying to remember what the actual control panels looked like on the machines I played on.
I have also thought about using something like this: http://www.gameongrafix.com/products/blue-lightning-control-panel
Thinking about it, the control panel does not need to be so complex. The buttons themselves will have the different colors on them,maybe I will go for something simpler.

most of that is only CHD's though.....

I got it from someone on mybb - was like 50 DVD's of Emulation Stuff - no duplicate files, nothing. :wtf:

But I don't think I can say who it is - otherwise lots of other people are going to be borrowing his DVDs :D :D

Maybe we can make a plan Madman? A Hard drive sounds good, I am definitely not burning it :erm:

I've got about 18-20GB of roms and another 10GB or so of artwork.

10GB of artwork? really? is that the arcade cabinet photo's, marquees, title screens, screenshots/etc?
sheesh, because that is really a lot for only that stuff!
 
Ok, the Entire Mame folder I have is 114 GB Total. All sorted, not 1 duplicate file.
- 3.5GB of that is Art
- 86GB of that is CHD Files
- 25GB for the Roms


Then I also have 10GB of other emulators & Roms, like Sega, Nintendo, etc....


I won't need to worry about the missing art though, if I am running Hyperspin, as they require videos, right?
or do we really need to beg gregmcc for his pictures hehe
