World's Smallest Arcade Machine (Guinness Record)

[ruijc]

I don't think that the buttons and joystick will be a problem.

The ones I use in my cabinet are normal "through hole" ones and the caps are a bit big because I wasn't looking for scale detail for this.
instead I was looking for some great looking buttons with the ability of backlight.

Anyway...

There are many miniature tactile buttons and joysticks on the market today. And these joysticks have 5 positions ( left/right/up/down and click center ) The center contact can be ignored and a couple of miniature tactile buttons can be added next to this for fire or any other function that the game will need.
Just look at the ones used for cellphones. The button/joystick cap can be custom made easy.

Art,
I have the cabinet designed in cad with the measurements already scaled to the size of my project.
I can send you the files for you to take a look and check.

Will send you a PM regarding this.
