I'd like to share a little project i've been working on for the past couple of weeks. It's a micro sized version of the Tron arcade machine that we've grown up playing. Ever since I was a kid I've been obsessed with miniaturization. Now that technology has advanced, my dreams of owning a Tron arcade machine have come true...at least in miniature form. I'll be posting regular updates as the project progresses.

Here are a couple of pics to get us started

Thank you it's very exciting creating this replica. I'm a Tron freak and wish this existed elsewhere but since a working scaled replica hasn't been made yet, I've opt'd to build one. If I'm successful the next will be Discs of Tron.

Cool! Can't wait to see what ti's like when it's done.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I think for something that is hand made and unique, those prices are quite fair.

Yes, reasonable. I'd be very interested in "Pascal", but what would be the difference between "Pascal" and "User" besides the Ipod Touch? In other words, what's the "same as COBOL as a full Turnkey model incl. premium shroud" option?

Or, more to the point. What would be the difference between "turnkey" and not, besides the Ipod?

(Yes, obviously I am interested as well!)

Thanks for asking, Renderinfo. The difference is not only the iPod but the more detailed 3d printed shroud. The 3d prints will be arriving in about a week. I'll post pics once they arrive. So the price difference between pascal and user is added ipod and detailed shroud plus install. I'll likely offer each of the parts, individually, so everyone can add detail as they see fit. Hope that answers your questions

I would think you had to jailbreak it? No jail breaking needed. I just got lucky and was able to get imame4all before it was pulled from apple's store. So if you have an iPod with imame4all, jail broken or not then let me know and I'll come up with a 5th price point

Nope, did not have an iPod back then. Can you still get that app by jail-breaking? I mean I wouldn't do that to my new iTouch 5g, but I would do it to an old 2, 3 or even a 4g. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

more parts are trickling in! The shroud in these pics are of the unpainted premium shroud.

Hopefully, the joystick will be here monday and i can begin assembly!

These pics are killing me!

Very high quality work. Go ahead and put me on the list of "want it", and I can paypal a deposit anytime... I'm still debating on with/without the iPod touch. I think I am going to research other possible media player options for the enclosure, and I'll share anything I find.

Update:
This site should have the imame4all software for all Android and iOS devices:
http://code.google.com/p/imame4all/
Will probably need some help locating the Tron Arcade proms/roms, but it should be very doable.

Quick search yielded these 3 Android based media players with varying display sizes:

Philips Go Gear 3.2" Around $60
Sony NWZ-Z1040 4" Around $100
Creative Zen Touch 2 3.2" around $100

Since these are all more or less the same going price for a 3.5" Ipod Touch Gen 2, your price of $150 extra for the kit including the Ipod Touch Gen 2 (fully loaded with IMame and Tron I am assuming) happens to be SUPER REASONABLE.

Even so, I hope you make a "fully assembled premium kit" with and without the IPod 2 as an option. Then I'll have a challenge
