I purchased one of those Amuzy kiddie medal game cabs a while ago, thinking to use it for a project.
Well, I saw that there was a Retropie edition of Donut Dodo, so there's my project.
I basically gutted out the cabinet and put the following in:

- Raspberry Pi 4 with Retropie + Donut Dodo retropie edition, set to autoboot and output 240P using the VGA666 adapter on the GPIO.
- RGBHV to RGBS sync combiner (using the circuit on retrorgb). I was having problems until I moved the circuit closer to the Pi side, I guess too much cable length was causing issues.
- Sanwa lever and 24mm buttons, using a new polycarbonate sheet but reusing the metal control panel. It barely fits and I had to dremel out some of the green bezel.
- Daemonbite USB encoder for controls (the open source one, program on Arduino Pro Micro 5V
- Lepai Amp for the sound

I posted a pic and video on my twitter:

Love it. Can't wait to see some custom game art on the cab.

I need to look into that 240p version of the game. Still trying to break 300,000 on my PC version (rookie numbers, I know).
