== Future plans == | |||
We are currently playing with the idea of re-implementing a new "real" arcade setup, which will cost monies, but will greatly increase user experience at the cost of no indie games. [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/london-hack-space/Jl9ytRcb4us] | |||
=== Requirements === | |||
* Real arcade-based gameplay with multiple game possibilities | |||
* Decent audio setup, with accessible volume control | |||
=== Nice-to-haves === | |||
* ACNode integration | |||
=== Ideas === | |||
We have a set of ideas of reimplementing the arcade part, which are listed below: | |||
==== Yvan's Arcade Part Idea ==== | |||
* ~£95 - Jamma PCB [http://www.jammaboards.com/store/520-in-1-pandoras-box-version-3-horizontal-multigame-jamma-pcb.html] | |||
* ~£10 - Amplifier [http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARCADE-MACHINE-SOUND-SPEAKER-AMPLIFIER-MAME-JAMMA-60-IN-1BRAND-NEW-/281557735300?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item418e261784] | |||
* £ ?? - speaker set from flea market | |||
* £15 - Jamma breakout cable set [http://www.rastermania.be/product.php?id=119] | |||
Total: ~ £120, excl. flea market speaker set | |||
==== Yvan's ACNode implementation idea ==== | |||
Use a RPi with an RFID reader (I have both spare), which sends a coin pulse to the PCB when a member badge is tapped. All required parts should be available in my drawer or in the space. | |||
