I found the briefcase at Goodwill and I had been thinking about putting something together like this for awhile. I have more of the actual build on my blog, but here are some more pics.

Hey guys, not sure where to put this, but I thought you all would get a kick out of the Briefcade I made awhile ago. Me and a few other guys get together at work to play old school arcade games. Only problem is, I am the only one who hosts with an arcade, so I got sick of everyone coming over to my house and made the arcade portable.

Re: Briefcade
Nice! You should install one of those quick release JLF shafts for your joystick, though.

Re: Briefcade
That is sweet! You improved on the Laptop by incorporating that Arcade stick in a handy transportable brief case. Interested in the specs and how the stick is wired into I guess a laptop underneath? Link to your blog and maybe a pic of the controller hinged up?Rydon wrote:Hey guys, not sure where to put this, but I thought you all would get a kick out of the Briefcade I made awhile ago.

Sure, here is the link to the blog I have

Seems to be down right now, not sure why.
Here is a pic of the internals. It runs on Raspberry Pi, and monitor and Rasp Pi are powered through the same switch.

Re: Briefcade
Dont take it through a airport ever, those bastard TSA's will most likely confiscate it permanently.
