I've always wanted to turn one of those Coleco mini arcades into a mame machine. The other week I got sent a Coleco Pacman mini arcade which was missing most of its stickers, decided to open it up and proceeded to break the PCB :angry:
Making best of a bad situation I thought Id give maming this thing out a go. I ended up spending a few days image editing some Galaga artwork for it , then printing it off my self. The internals are an iCade Jr I got from Thinkgeek for $15. I modded the iCade JR board heavily to wire in some real buttons and to marry an original Coleco Mini arcade joystick to it. I also, married the original Coleco mini arcade battery pack into it.
It works via bluetooth connection to your iphone or ipod touch and will run :
* Most Emulators
* All IOS games that support the iCade (like Temple Run(which it's awesome for) etc, there are a lot now)
* All IOS Games generally that can be mapped via Blutrol (As Blutrol supports the iCade)
Here is a demo of the Coleco Galaga Mini Cab I built:
