Noisebridge Gaming Archivists Live Arcade Cabinet (NGALAC)

We’re building a Live-Streaming Retro Gaming Arcade Cabinet for Noisebridge and Maker Faire 2018. If you would like to know more about it, we’ve started a  wiki page for the project at: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/NGALAC

If you’d like to help, we’re meeting every Friday at 20:00 until Maker Faire to coordinate our work that we do each week. 

2018-03-02 updates:

--We're still looking for a 23"-25" CRT with a curved screen. Once we get one, we'll need help modding it to accept RGB input, similar to this: http://scarthunter.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/RGBmodification.html

--We have many of the things we need to begin setting up the Gaming and Streaming systems. People will be in the space working on these on Tuesday Night 2018-03-06, we'll review their progress at the Friday coordination meeting.

--We need to fabricate a means mounting the ports of retro controller to USB converters on to mountable faceplates that can be installed above the controller board below the CRT. 

--We'll start building a wood mock up of the cabinet during  the weekend of March 10 to 11 to use for cabinet design development; to workout the final cabinet design. This will be cheap plywood, 2x4s, and screws, but it should be fun.

--If you are familiar with Twitch streams, you may have seen some of those nice intros, outros, and animations that streamers use on their channels. We're looking for help making some of this for the Noisebridge Twitch channel.

If you can help with any of these tasks, or have questions or advice, please email the discussion list: noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net

Cheers!

It actually makes perfect sense that utopia is tiny, even compared to Gordian or Mitsubishi.

Utopia is equivalent to a giant hackerspace focused on space and longevity, and like. If you simply go on the internet, you will see that there are orders of magnitude more people posting "you need to get therapy” to their rivals or simping for landlords than go to noisebridge or other such hackerspaces.

I dropped by the Noisebridge makerspace and took part in their learn to solder Mondays. I made a Brain machine kit. I wasn’t really sure what it did but now I love it. It works by synchronizing your brain waves to a set pattern that takes you into a meditative state. It’s great if you have insomnia!
