World's Smallest Arcade Machine (Guinness Record)

[Art]

Your pm is full

Hi :)

In a nutshell, I'm wondering if you're interested in participating,
as in building a cabinet as small as you can, keeping it's dimensions to yourself,
and sending me the schematic so I can write a game on a bigger breadboard version.

I can probably arrange the joystick and buttons for free, and am also going to try to get some displays.
I think Sparkfun will play ball for this kind of project.

In that case, I would reapply to Guinness as a PBP group.
It is good to leave my application open in any case, as I can check the record daily.
It's fine if you're not into that, but I would certainly opt to avoid building the hardware if possible.

Cheers, Brek.

Hi Art,

Sorry for the PM inbox being full.

About the cabinet, i will be happy to participate.
The design i have right now is the smallest i can go because of the nokia lcd ( breakboard ) and for my tactile buttons but it's possible to do it smaller.
The MCU i'm using is a 18F2520 which has alot of programming memory ( great for storing lots of screen pictures ).
The same PCB can be used in a way that instead of sensors you can use joystick or other goodies.

Here are some more recent pictures of the cabinet with buttons and pcb:

It's possible to use a small joystick instead of the buttons.
