I used the paper panel to draw the shape of the panel on a piece of thin wood panel, in order to create a template.

I printed out the control panel on paper, actually needed 6 A4 sheets to print it in real size, and then put all of them together with tape. I started cutting bottom and the control panel are made out of 1cm MDF, also the rear panel is MDF, the rest of the sides is 1.9 cm pine wood. Once I had my own design (based on the space paranoids idea) everything else was the idea is basically a box made of wood, with a control panel on top and a raspberry inside. This was probably the best decision I took during the whole project. But before chopping wood I decided to draw the control surface on Inkscape. I immediately thought "that is exactly what I want!!". What shape? I started by looking around on the byoac and found this amazing project: The idea: 4 players, only joysticks+buttons, no trackball, raspberry inside, HDMI output so I can move it as if it was a game console. It is now almost complete, and it would not have been possible without all I learnt here and at other sites like this one, so the least I can do is to share my project as a small contribution. Hey all, this is my first post, and is about my first arcade project.
