I hate all of you! I can't afford a 3DP right now. ![Angry >:(](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/angry.gif)
Neither can I.

I have ~$400 and dwagon man-weeks of fettling tied up in mine; I'm right now approximately day 5 of a project that will essentially let me build one of these from scratch. ![Shocked :o](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
And (unlike bean) this is probably my most adventurous and USEFUL project so far. ![Face Palm :palm:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/facepalm.gif)

I actually wasn't expecting this 'til next week; Amazon sed "By Saturday" which lately has meant the following Monday or Tuesday.
It's a mixed bag; cheap push-button switches but half-decent response with a light detent; the joysticks are cheap but they use levered clone micro-switches so action is sloppy but positive and oh, so VERY clicky.

The game selection is horrid... 2200 "Titles"; every one of them repeats at least 3 times under the same & different names, and some are just named wrong. Aside from a couple dozen or so fighting games (King of Fighters, Tekken, old versions of Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat) all the "A" titles are 8-bit and repeat 5-10 times under same & different names/slightly different variants... many of which ALSO repeat. So it has Kong, Pac, Galaga, etc... but the 4-way games don't play right cuz it's got 8-way sticks, and there's a lot of variance in how well the aspect ratio is managed.
Fortunately, the dashboard DOES have a search function.

But I bought it mostly because the metal cabinet is constructed half decent, and plopped on a table it's a convenient size for a bedroom pedestal for me and the boy to play on. Supposedly it ALSO can be a fightstick for PS3/XBOX360... so will TRY that feature as well.
I figure if we get a couple afternoons play out of it as-is then use it as a base for a proper MAME console, I'll have gotten my ~US$128 out of it.
