The three remaining cabinets are two 1/2 scale replicas of full size cabinets (Ms. Bartops in tribute to the games that launched Miyamoto into Nintendo history. Since Mario and Donkey Kong are some of the biggest icons here in Japan, we decided to build Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and a Mario Bros. I did some research and found out that, indeed, at one time the game centers here in Japan were full of upright fullsize cabinets, most of these in about 1985 were either shipped to the Philippines, Brazil, some other country or out right destroyed.

As you may or may not know here in Japan, most of all the arcade cabinets you see in the game centers are what we call "Candy Cabs", while these are nice, they just don't capture the 80's feel that my friend wanted to use. Bartop was very well made and since space is kinda limited here in Japan, I thought that bartops would be the best choice. I searched the forum here and came across my muse. He wanted to build 6 cabinets, two of which he would design all the artwork himself and the other 4 he wanted to be replica cabinets. He became interested in my hobby of making arcade cabinets. About a month ago a friend of mine, who is a local artist of some fame here in Japan, approached me with a strange request. As you might well be able to imagine, my time is very very limited. On top of all that, I have two wonderful boys 10 and 6 who take up a lot of my time, not to mention being a Jr. 2 Touchscreen jukes in the works, 4 sub mini replica cabinets, and among other things work on the restoration of our house. # SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2018 Anne Barela for Adafruit Industries # Function to play a wave file in its entirety: If (file.endswith(".wav") and not file.startswith("._"))] WAVEFILES = [file for file in os.listdir("/") # Find all Wave files in CIRCUITPY storage: # Button connected to Signal pin #1 & ground:Ĭ_mode(BUTTON, _PULLUP)

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE GRAPHICS FILES HERE (ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR 10 FORMAT)Ĭopy Code // Random HAL demo adapted from PiSpeak sketch. If you can’t get access to a laser cutter, you might still adapt this file (or Amadeus’ original) to your medium of choice. Acrylic cement has a way of seeping everywhere and ruining paint jobs. I chose to use common fasteners rather than glue…maybe not canon, but fast and easy. Working in Adobe Illustrator, I adapted the design to work with laser-cut acrylic and to fit our button. If you want to take this project to the next level, follow his thread! As for us, for right now, we’ll be sticking with the quick bargain basement plan.

Working from photos of the original piece, and by scrutinizing individual Blu-Ray frames, Amadeus developed (and subsequently shared with the community) complete dimensions for his replica - possibly even better-constructed than what the rest of us saw on screen. The hard work of coming up with a good blueprint was already done by Amadeus Prokopiak of the Replica Prop Forum, an excellent community of film aficionados. Much like our not-a- Back-to-the-Future -clock project, the concept came about when customers noted that a component already in our shop resembled an unrelated film item - in this case, our Massive Red Arcade Button and HAL’s distinctive lens. What follows are some ideas on creating one yourself. We’re not selling a prop or even a kit here…that would raise a big licensing stink, so please don’t ask. This is cool stuff! But if we relax our criteria just a bit, you or I can turn out a pretty decent, recognizable facsimile in a weekend for just a small fraction of the cost. The iconic eye of HAL 9000 from 2001: a Space Odyssey is one such object of desire…popular enough that detailed (and pricey) licensed reproductions exist. The Pareto Principle - also known as the 80/20 Rule - is the idea (originally from economics, but now applied in many ways) that 80% of results stem from 20% of the effort.ĭevoted film fans will spend countless hours and hundreds of dollars (occasionally even thousands) to create flawless replica props for their personal collections.
