Don't worry I'm used to that πŸ˜… such is the nature of niche work...

And a close up of the new 32X label I vectored and @retrofied.uk wonderfully reproduced.
I'm really happy with how this came out.

MiSTer Multisystem 2: Now We Can All FPGA!
YouTube video by More Fun Making It MiSTer Multisystem 2: Now We Can All FPGA!

Can this be the next big thing in retro gaming? Is FPGA now at the point where all the rest of us can get involved? Am I any good at Joust?
Watch the video to find out!

Looking fantastic! How are you going to finish it? Will you resin/glitter coat it like Richard did?

Had to improvise on the background design to get it done in time for the weekend. It look legit I guess. Maybe one day if I have time I'll see if I can recreate the original background art, but it's mega complicated.

Challenge accepted! I need to completely strip, clean, scan, redraw, print and fit this rather tired control panel for Virtua Fighter 2. By this weekend. #yolo #SEGA #VirtuaFighter2 #arcade #restoration #preservation

Nice work! I have a polycarb laminate that makes stuff semi-rigid which may work. I will take a close look at our 32X on Friday. I used some brushed metal material for Computer Space with the polycarb which might work well enough, the brushed effect is quite strong though.

Really great to see people getting to grips with Heber's new #MiSTer #Multisystem2 this weekend. There's a palpable excitement growing around the product which is fantastic to see. 2025 will be an amazing year for retro-gamers!

Nope scan will probably suffice just fine. Sometimes the original is useful so I can try to match the finish, but we do have one at the Cave I can reference.

You reckon you could peel it off intact and scan it for me?

Anyone else have a Grandstand Crazy Kong LCD game as a kid? Anyone I ever ask doesn't know it! Such a great little game, and quite scary too if I remember correctly. Very tempted to do a complete strip down and restoration on this.
