What if I told you you could pay 2,499 Euros for a wooden Ben Heck-style MAME portable?

I would tell you the future is NOW!!

And how about a Woodie controller to go with that?

LOL

 

[SNKorSWM]

Is there a certificate of authenticity for that thing? XD

 

[BerryTogart]

You should think that when you pay that much it is actually possible to close the box - which seems unlikely considering the pictures.

BLEGH!

 

[Craig]

three rows of buttons... Lol.

Possible that the joystick screws on and off or detaches somehow to close it. Still seems more novelty than something that can handle fast and furious play

It does come with Cave Story lol

I love the exposed ribbon cable going to the monitor.

 

[ReplicaX]

$3,500.....

Hmm mobile wooden overpriced crap or a new Vewlix. This is a tough one.

It's like a Sega Blast City, a New Net City, a Taito Egret 2, and a Neo Geo MVS put TOGETHER! (But only in price Lol)

Is it weird that the thing I find most offensive about this is a curved bezel on an LCD? Also what were they thinking with the design here? ...Steampunk?? Shouldn't something arcade focused invoke arcades and not 1930s radios? Also for $3500 I'm gonna need stronger box hinges.

It's the 3 rows of buttons that kill me.

I was wracking my brain trying to think of a single game that uses three rows of buttons.. Why is it that most people who build MAME cabinets don't seem like they have ever been to an arcade?

 

[wyo]

Think of all the humidors that made the ultimate sacrifice in order to build these.

 

[kahel]

I'll wait for the aircraft grade Aluminium version ... I like to play at Mach 3.

Tic-tac-toe? XD

 

[BLEAGH]

I watched the video out of curiosity, that first button on the top row is actually a screwdriver you pull out for tightening the joystick shaft.

At least the woodwork is fancy.... but I think his time would have been better served making a jewelry box or something.

I don't understand who this is supposed to be targeted at. The arcade enthusiast who also loves steampunk larping and wants to get a game of Hyper Fighting on while discussing their victorian corsets?

 

[Kid Panda]

I wonder if it uses a Raspberry Pi?

 

[Jeneki]

Tic-tac-toe? XD

That's it! Now, finally after all these years, we can emulate a Merlin.

 

[Madbees]

Tic-tac-toe? XD

Tic-Tac-Tote :P

 

[cdamm]

most expensive rasperry pi ever.

yeah. thats pretty much whats inside.

that said, what a fucking joke. the 3 rows of buttons is almost as inexcusable as the price.

 

[LegoSlug]

Probably trying to scoop some off that Analogue market share, but honestly, not even sure if the guy that built this one plays video games. 3 rows is pointless, also seems needlessly embellished with the decorative designs and also that faux tube lcd screen.

 

[gabe]

I'm only hatin' on this because I wasn't the one to figure out how to slap a Raspberry Pi in a wooden box and sell it to suckers for $3400.

I feel the same way about the potato salad Kickstarter.

 

[Jonmkl]

Ok so upon further investigation.. apparently this guy is just into wooden, stampunkish, 1930s radio stuff. Everything he designs looks like this.

Did you guys see this though? http://www.lovehulten.com/rkaid42.html

That seems far cooler, and more sensible then this RKAIDR garbage thing. Oh you know, except for the part where it's 3,300 freakin euro.
