Controls:
- Ultimarc UltraStik 360 with build in encoder
- Sanwa 24 mm OSBN-24 orange pushbuttons (3 pcs)
- Seimitsu 24 mm PS-14-DN
black pushbuttons (3 pcs)
- Ultimarc harness for UltraStik 360 (sponsored by Ultimarc)
- Made of 5 mm laser cut acrylic sheet with reinforcements
The UltraStik 360 is the heart of this machine. It has a
build in joystick encoder for 8 buttons and it can be changed in
the software to work as an analog joystick, 2-way, 4-way, 8-way,
49-way and even as a mouse. Perfect for such a small cabinet
with limited space.
Cabinet:
Made entirely from 5mm laser cut black and orange acrylic
sheets. Acrifix 116 and 192 are used for bonding the parts. See
step by step
for reference.
Size MM:
Width: 275 Height: 223
Depth: 290
Size inches:
Width: 10.83" Height: 8.78"
Depth: 11.42"
Weight: 4.5 KG - or about 3.7 KG
with netbook internals.
Monitor:
-
10.4" Lilliput FA1042-NP/C/T LCD monitor
- Native 800x600 - Up to 1280x1024 - The newer FA1046 is much
better choice (thinner)
This was the biggest of the small monitors I could find and the
absolutely largest monitor that can be fitted into the Nanocade.
The Nanocade can be use with any monitor this size or smaller:
Width: 262 mm x Depth: 73 mm x Height: 185 mm.
It will easily fit any
widescreen 10.1 inch netbook screen.
Sound system:
- Build in speakers in
Lilliput monitor
I plan to install some USB powered speakers in the Nanocade at
some point. It can be fitted with up to 3 inch speakers.

-Cooling |
Intel Atom D510 dual core
1024 MB DDR2-800
40 GB SSD - Intel X25-V
Intel D510MO mini-ITX ( 170x170 mm )
- AMD Zacate / Fusion is much better and faster
PicoPSU 80 watt + Generic 12 volt 60 watt external PSU
Akasa Amber 80 mm Ultra Quiet cabinet fan at 50% |
The parts are
picked out to be the least power consuming and thus generating
the least amount of heat. I would recommend the new AMD Zacate /
Fusion platform not. It's much better and faster than Atom.
Takes op less space too.
Software:
- Windows 7 Starter edition x86
- MALA FE with custom Nanocade layout
- MAME 0.139
I love the change from Maximus Arcade to Male FE. Male is
much faster and less demanding on the system. It is very easy to
make custom made layouts and Mala supports any emulator out
there.
