First arcade build – MiSTer FPGA + Toshiba 27AF43

First arcade project, built from an original Golden Tee cabinet.

Running a MiSTer FPGA into a Toshiba 27AF43 with YPbPr . I’m pretty new to arcade controls, so for now I went with USB using a couple Mayflash F700 sticks, plus some 8BitDo controllers for games that don’t feel right on arcade inputs.

I also added a small LCD in the middle driven by a Raspberry Pi that loops through top 100 games for different consoles.

Included a shot of the tube inside the cab as well 👍

The coin door isn’t hooked up yet, still figuring out the best way to integrate that with MiSTer. Also thinking about eventually swapping the flat tube for a curved one.

Pretty happy with how it turned out so far.

MiSTer Arcade Golden Tee Transformation with CRT

Hey I just joined and this is my first ever arcade project. Curious what you all think. Originally a Golden Tee carnival arcade machine. Powered by a MiSTer FPGA and Toshiba 27AF43. I've never done arcade controls before so since I'm already using a standalone mister I figured USB is best for now. I used a couple Mayflash 700 sticks and I think it works pretty well. A couple 8bitdo controllers too for games that don't work as well with arcade controls.

In the middle is a raspberry pi connected to an LCD that I scripted to loop through top 100 games for various consoles. The coin slot is totally disconnected and from what I understand connecting it is sort of complicated with a MiSTer. Eventually I'd like to have that working somehow and replace the tube with a curved one. Thankfully the MiSTer also has an attract mode so it'll cycle through games while idle as well.

I also realized that this TV is one that doesn't save its power state when powered off, so I had to use a clip on the power button and now it's great. I wanted to make sure that if I were to flip the power off on the entire arcade machine and back on that everything turns on. Now it's good to go!

Toshiba 27AF43 inside a transformed Golden Tee arcade with MiSTer FPGA

hey mod, you deleted my post and assumed there was no CRT in ther. I said there was a Toshiba so this time I provided proof! Anyways, I transformed an original Golden Tee arcade machine. Powered by a MiSTer FPGA and Toshiba 27AF43.

I also added a raspberry pi computer with LCD screen in the middle that loops through the top 100 games for various consoles. Eventually I'd like to replace the flat tube with a curved one.
