Hejsansvejsan you all, from Sweden!
Some stuff you got here! An engineer's playground, arcade hacks & accessories R/D. I was introduced to this forum just the other day by Gondar (also a member here) and the great news about the Initial D card unit emulation. Now I'm glued to the chair browsing all those interesting projects. Wow!
My interest starded in a healthy way at first with Ghosts'n Goblins some time in 1985-86, and continued with GunSmoke, Rush & Crash, and Afterburner, and then some more. As time passed my passion grew twisted, curiosity turned into an urge to hunt, madness took me in directions I never imagined. With ebay opening doors to the rest of the world, my shelves began to fill up. Boards, game systems, and spare parts transformed my appartment into a warehouse from hell. I became obsessed with joysticks, buttons and monitors. I built my own cabinets, bought and stored parts for games for future projects. I gutted old cabs to acquire parts for a future revision. This continued day by day, year after year, the delusion consumed me completely. Untill just a couple of years ago when I realized that I was going to die some day, and if I don't stop hunting and start playing soon I'll be about 204 years old before I'll be a mediocre player on hopefully half of all the games in my collection.
So ... this is last year's setup here at home, certain smaller changes has been made since. Today I have my two NNCs that I bought here in Sweden last year, I've recently recycled both my 18 Wheeler UR and my temporary driving rig, which left me whith some highly desired space. Oh, and I also sold my pinball (ToM) which I had about 3 months before beginning to feel violated by its long shadow casted over me and my little desk. I have a temporary gaming pedestal where I can swap controlpanels to play any JVS-system in 31k or higher, or my awesome golf game Golden Tee Live 2014. Screen is a 51" plasma. Please have a look at my somewhat beautified photo:
