Thought I would share a very simple project I completed recently. While maybe not strictly speaking an arcade project, I made these for use in MAME, MVS, and my HAS supergun, so I think it still counts.
The Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 design was based on the Astro City control panel, and it is probably my favorite arcade stick of all time. Being made in the late 2000s for the PS3, they are however a little long in the tooth and in need of modernization, so I designed this very simple PCB to replace the factory one. I'd been looking for an excuse to learn KiCAD, anyway. It uses the factory Hori USB cable and the original plastic panel which makes for a very clean "no cut, no mod" look which is what I was aiming for.
Works great, obviously. I use it on PC and eventually my HAS/Neo Geo, but it can work with all the current consoles as well. I originally set the silk screen pin labels to match that of the Brook UFB, a popular and semi-standard board, but I have now swapped over to the GP2040-CE in mine. Its an all-around better interface board.
