Greetings programs!
It took far too many cycles to get this project complete, but I'm finally done. I've completed a TRON themed iCade.
For those that don't know, the iCade is an accessory for the Apple iPad that adds real arcade controls and is supported by quite a few games (including MAME, which means you could run the actual TRON arcade game through this). The original iCade looks like this:
My new iCade looks like this:
There a quite a few improvements. Besides the new control scheme (joystick on the right), it features light up buttons & joystick, integrated iPad charger (for both dock connector & lightning connector), custom side art, and each button's color is user configurable (via an access panel & jumpers).
What does everyone think?
You can see more pictures, including some of the 'making of' pictures, on my website http://mods.xkill.net.

Very cool! Though as a righty, I'm not sure if I'd classify "joystick on the right" as an improvement.  (I'm guessing you're left-handed?) It looks fantastic, though, and I can only imagine how much work went into it. Much respect.  order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Actually, I am a righty.
Think of classic Atari joysticks... the button is on the left. That's how I learned how to play, so that's the only thing that feels right to me.

It's really too bad you can't play Space Paranoids on the iPad. That would be amazing to do with that accessory.

Unless your ambidextrous perhaps. For me I never really had a problem using the joystick on the right or the left. In some cases. I just switch my hands around to make things easier. I do that sometime when I play pool at my local pool hall. If I can't do it the way I usually do a shot one way. I switch over and try it the other way. 2 Legit 2 quit

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!   
To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.
