Title: Finished my custom arcade stick - more or less

while it's been functional for months, the wires and PCB were all just hanging loose.  finally got around to mounting the PCB and getting it all enclosed.  i wouldn't necessarily call it "complete" yet (it's pretty ugly and the wiring job was super quick and dirty), but it's now to the point i can take it to friend's places and play with it without worrying about anything coming disconnected.  i posted my progress on the blog throughout the summer, if you care to know more.

uses a street fighter anniversary pad for PCB (PS2), so i can also use it with PC/PS3 using adapters that i already have.
