Arcade Project

I picked up an old cocktail arcade console. It'll need some work on the exterior and a different button configuration. I'm open to all suggestions.

According to this, there is a setting in Retroarch to rotate the image between the two sides. I was thinking about putting two separate systems in there, but now I will definitely be using the largest screen I can get in there.

I plugged the arcade in today and got a better picture than I have in the past. It looks like the game itself works and the CRT may just need a little tweaking. I plan on using an LCD, but I may save the CRT and have a repairman look at it. Not sure what to do with the game board.
